Title: Missing something ?
Post by: Gandalf on October 23, 2012, 11:02:50 pm
Due to a friendly supporter of Argonath we have lost about one week of posts.
However as usual that does not accomplish a lot, except for many of our players wishing to see the guy being handled as in the movie he posted. As he may like that, we better try other ways.

During the next day we will restore the several features, so do not worry.

PS: No there were no passwords leaked. The kid did not have the IQ.

So, the rest of the posts won't be restored? I hope I didn't lose something important such as court cases. :x

Nevermind, deleted PMs popped up back in my inbox from a week ago, so I guess I'll have to resend some PMs

I appreciate the whole thing but I would like to remind something to the webmasters. When you search for Argonath RPG in google, you still see 'hacker skelet0r' his message. Just trying to help.

Nothing that can be done about that. Google has to re-index the page. If Gandalf wants to speed it up, he can log into his Google Webmaster Tools account and have an indexing re-done on the site, but it'll still take some time.

It's great to see that we survived the attack as always.

And the loss of several things is not so bad for me, as we all can be happy that everything returned peacefully

Pricks like this one who're trying to keep their exploit in shape never intend to give up until they reach their deadline. There is no such thing called success for their attempts.
Nevertheless, good to see that we have early backups and a powerful team.

How long will it take for the old theme to be re-added? Also, is it just me that can't edit their profile?
Title: Re: Missing something ?

I cannot even access the summary of anyone's profile, so no it's not only you.

There is currently 2 problems with the forum which i know of.

1. I can't view other members profile, only getting a completly white page.
2. I can't change password, dont got access to the "account" tab in my profile.
Title: Re: Missing something ?

I confirm the issue Zaila is experiencing.

Puny little hacker has failed, miserably.

It appears that nearly all profile-related settings are broken right now. Hang in there guys. Gandalf will likely have it fixed soon.

It's funny how people keeps (trying) to attack this community, even when they know the whole HQ have several years knowledge
about different attacks. Long live Argonath.

It's only a matter of time before irreversible damage is done.

Such as? What is your definition of irreversible damage?

Wipe the server  -> Restore from backup
Wipe the server including OS -> Reinstall OS image and restore from backup
DDoS -> Mitigate and wait for it to lay down, the attackers resources are not infinite
Stealing passwords -> Reset all user passwords and create a stronger hashing+salt algorithm

Also note that the network is being monitored by not only HQ but also the network provider to the servers.

Creating backups doesn't give back what was lost just before the attack, it only gives back what was destroyed when the backup was made.. :poke:

You guys are like ''WTF Who would attack us!?'' and you banned like whole world + you don't reply on ban appeals daily.. you reply like once in month. And then you wonder who wouldn't be mad and attacking you.

What should they do, unban hackers because otherwise they would hack the forum? They don't deserve to play Argonath RPG.
Title: Re: Missing something ?
Post by: Devin on November 06, 2012, 10:42:06 am
C bugging anywhere is bannable so your argument is pointless.
The routeblock affected innocent people, but everyone has been given instructions to get unbanned, yet they seem to not bother and instead complain.

Then they could always ask their parents to do it, simple.
Title: Re: Missing something ?
Post by: SugarD on November 06, 2012, 07:47:32 pm
Hackers = Stay banned

Other small rulebreak = Second chance

My friend was just c bugging in middle of desert and he didnt shoot anyone! and he got permanetly banned for it.. + range banned -,-
If he ban evaded, that is why he got range-banned. We won't give people second chances if they aren't willing to follow the rules and learn from their mistakes.
