Title: Welcome back
Post by: Gandalf on June 28, 2011, 11:40:22 pm
We would like to welcome back our loyal members after an outage that was longer as expected. As you might know, on Saturday we faced a script kid who used an exploit in a custom written PHP file to get access to the server and site.
After checking all moves we wanted to re-open the site yesterday but right before opening the main site Sauron, who was away on the weekend, asked to stop opening and workend on re-checking himself. This is why the sites that were open suddenly became invisible again for our members.
To stop rumours we would like to make some staements :
1. Nether the site or the SMF forums were hacked.
2. You may not know there was a second attack while the video was shown, and for one hour the attcker tried to find a way in.
3. Contrary to what was told regarding personal information on members and administration, none was taken. Simple because we do not have such information.
4. For security we have remvoed all passwords, and you will have to retrieve it by the forgot password link. If you have any problem with the mail address contact us for a solution.


We thank all of you for your support, and have also seen how some others tried to take advantage of the situation. We will answer if needed and know we still form a strong community.

Regarding our reaction to this event we will not give out any details, however be sure that we will react. Ifyou have any information to add to the information we have, it is welcome.

Welcome back guys... I once again want to thank all of you for outstanding support...

Apart from what was already said I can add that I never ever was monitoring hackor on server, who wasted one hour to understand that the exploit he used does not work anymore and one hour to get a knowledge that forum and site do have different index files (second attack, inspired by our movie, most of you even did not see it cos he was blocked as soon as he got an index file education)...

Also other services and sites will be opened one by one, so please be patient and do not ask us when...

It's just some sad little kid who got banned and has nothing better to do than shit on other communities because his life is a huge fail.

Argonath is always going to have it's haters, everything does, but does he really think his pointless, sad little blog is going to get any attention and that people are going to boycott Argonath because of him? No.

As to him claiming people are "idiots", sorry but are we the ones who wrote a blog post about a community, shitting all over it ecause we got banned? No.

Will Argonath live on for ever despite hacks, attacks and trolls? Yes.

Good work on getting us back up guys, thanks.

P.s. Thanks for the advertisement if your reading. :)

Long live Argonath.

I discovered that a few days ago during the middle of the attack. Gandalf and I had a good laugh, and left a few nice little messages for the poster. Apparently he didn't appreciate it, so he deleted them and disabled comments, then made another blog post attacking Gandalf and Argo directly. Pretty funny how someone who claims to "support" the attacks says he's not "involved" in them. I think he needs to learn a few word definitions there ;)

I always knew more attacks would only make Argonath stronger. We're going on five years, too. :)

Ya! Just as I told Gandalf as it was happening, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, and Argo has definitely proved that. Even Aragorn saw that and made that wonderful video to taunt our attackers and boost the community's morale even further throughout the said incidents. Now if such a large attack on all of Argonath at once can't take us down, I don't think anything could. This community is built upon so many players and their great memories that it causes Argonath to stand strong, right down to it's core. Even if you take the users down in massive waves, they will still fight to keep this community going. If you take away the servers, they will fight to bring them back. You take down the sites and they will just move to another, or even make their own, until things are fixed. Nothing can stop this great community, and I welcome anyone who thinks otherwise to challenge us to that, because we will never let anyone destroy our pride, or our memories. :)

Sugar,

hah first I was writing you some things, then decided to remove it... But some day it will appear... Its not a time yet...

Just wanna say - no any hacker (lamer or professional) can bring down web site permanently... There is no any chances... The maximum damage can be - removing the data which web owner does not backuped...
Thats all...

And the second part of the post will appear later... :)

Oh my god and he was crying about our admins?

As about Argo - there always will be talk... I was thinking why and came to opinion:

If Argonath would not be THAT GREAT, there would not be haters... Cos in other case they would just move to other server and have fun there without even remembering about us... But if they do remember us and remember years and still hate, it means that Argonath is sitting in their hearts very strong... Which means they do like Argonath... Just being banned anger (teenagers usually) conflicts with the admitting that this server is great...

They want to be here and they cannot admit it cos they are young maximalists... We have many cases when guys after one two year growing up and come with the totally different attitude and have fun...

It is not that easy to admit own mistakes... I also was the same when was a teen...
Title: Re: Welcome back
Post by: ~Legend~ on June 29, 2011, 12:44:40 pm
Hah, yea. :P

Some of the most popular online games also have strong groups of haters.
If you actually dislike Argonath so much, dump it and move on? ;)

He said his "friend" is providing him with all the news about our site, but who would believe that, lol - he is even writing about replies in this topic, so obviously he is paying close attention to the forums and even this topic :)

He also said he would ignore any comments from the Argonath Community, yet he has since created 2 more articles in his blog quoting some comments in an attempt to retaliate. Yep, you sure do know how to ignore us. And yes, I know you are reading this :)

Aside from saying, welcome back and appreciating the wrok done to return things to the regular state! I would like to say, to those who believe Argonath was 'RolfPwned' or whatever you young ones use to speak nowadays you should have your mental state looked into. Yes, Argonath got 'RolfPwned' by what i believe were three little.... who are yet to grow up and edit rather simply, the forum index to display Toy Story images and use words that do not appear in a dictionary or 'Hacking' as they will probably call it. Seriously... and why do you bother coming here if believe such?

Does not care? they were already trying to hack again... And not once... But phailed...
That is just a non-testosteron (photo can say many things about hormons condition) little lier who pretends to be something special...

Anyways I recommend all of you do not react on his blog, if it is possible... Can post your opinion here, they read anyways... Let them rise our visits statistics instead of their... ;)

Different software uses different encryption methods.
Actually which you use does not matter, as someone with access to your files can get the PHP code of reading and writng passwords. At that time all you need is an online decrypter, or to add an echo statement to the password reading code.
If you have the database and the login PHP file, its pretty simple to decode a password without knowing more than how to search in Google.

The question was about index page which appeared with words from Columbus that all computers are now virused... So the answer was - no, there was no virus...

As about Java thingy - if you pressed it - then all what you did was correct...
So no worries...

Hello, my username is Dex507, I use this account because apparently it's linked to my email, this account was used by my brother long time ago.

I cannot reset my password it because the Email used on that Username is no longer available. So now I'm stuck not being able to reset my old forum account.
If some of moderators can help me, i'd greatly appreciate it!

Do you still live in the MSDOS 5.1 age ?

Formatting your PC is NOT recommended. Learning not to fill it up with shit is.

True that, but a newly reformat is always the best in my opinion. I havn't formated my own in 8 months so I should not say anything. It runs as smooth since I formatted it.

And I do not know when the MSDOS 5.1 age was  :lol:

Just as Gandalf said, that is NOT a recommended action. If you took care of your computer, you would NEVER have to do this. Users use it as an excuse to not run security applications, clean out temporary files, scan their computer, or deal with issues they caused by installing incompatible, malicious, or inefficient software. Even in most cases where you need to reinstall your OS after it has been damaged due to unforeseen events, XP and higher offer a Repair option, so there is STILL no need to format your data. I just hope that if you are still doing this, you aren't making it worse by formatting and reinstalling your OS with floppies ;)

Guys, after looking on the site this hacker is on.

They claim that they only attack/hack sites that have defaced them in someway, stolen things from the site, or personal reasons.

Why would the hacker have any problems at all with us?

They can claim all they like what they like does not in anyway make it acceptable.

They are children and are yet to understand the adult world something they may learn when they are older.

This 'personal reason' thing will be down to the ban of one of them....

Now he will for sure...  :rofl:

Actually thats a bullshit... About reasons or whatever... His hacking history is not long and full of childish reasons... Actually apart form the 5 sites they hacked (as they claim, but can be a pure lie) they were hacked as well and DDOSed in June... So I suppose that is like some script kiddies world they do f*ck each other, making them think they are cool...

With us they wanted to have problems because we are the one big site they actually are members of and they had the possibility from custom script...

There were no problems with admins, in his unban request he apologized for his actions on server... So either kissed ass or lieing on his blog, lol...

Nobody ever succeeded in bringing down Argonath anyways, from Seifer in the old days to script kiddies today. :)

I honestly feel sorry for this guy, as a real skilled computer hacker would actually get somewhere other than changing index page and boosting player morale in the process (Long Live Argonath!)... along with causing one of our Owners to make an awesome Argonath video, too.

If the script kid actually wanted to take down Argonath, all servers and forums would have been offline... now tell me why FBI forums were not breached.

So basically, all in all, his attack backfired. Less than a week of lost posts, we can simply brush away, but a triumph of the Argonath Community will stay in our history for all Argonath times to come.

Different server = more effort to hack, has to run more scripts, so he can't do it as there was no security risk in your forum.
He just abused the fact he had access to one server and used google to get his scripts.
