February 21, 200620 yr Its a very long story, ill shorten it. a friend of mine got insulted, he is (was) the proud owner of a good-looking train website, alot of visitors everyday, it was a great hobby of him. till the day came, his site went blank, with this text on it: *Transulation: (name) Living in (city) This week we will shoot you and hack your whole (ffing) train website down You understand me? this week your dead. (unless youll get your whole website offline and keep it that way.) And why?? no1 knows... :( [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008]
February 21, 200620 yr Author yea... its just a hobby to him... [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008]
February 21, 200620 yr Obviously with the threat of being shot this may not seem like the best idea to him, but.. He should put the site back up. Odds are this is someone's idea of funny and '1337', I doubt he's going to be shot for owning a website about trains.
February 21, 200620 yr Author yes, i was thinking about that to, i dont know if ill go on with this... but if there are some good replys ill tell him [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008]
February 21, 200620 yr Author he gave permission to go on with this thread. [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008]
February 21, 200620 yr Put the website back up. His host should have enough info to find the people who did it anyways. Go after them with legal action, if possible.
February 21, 200620 yr Author yea, tomorrow he goes to the police with it. [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008]
February 21, 200620 yr he might also want to find a more secure webhost, may cost a tad more, but to keep crap like this from happening it'd be worth it.
February 21, 200620 yr Author there are hackers who can come through everything... and he wanted (as i can understand) keep the whole hobby 100% free [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008]
February 21, 200620 yr on a free host then, well. it's just gonna keep going down again and again unless he changes host.
February 21, 200620 yr Check your site for any bugs and exploits. If you are running forum software for example ensure that you have the latest patches installed. Ask a friend to check any other of your scripts that you have written yourself for any bugs. Also search your site for any backdoors that the hackers might have installed onto your site. Look for cgi and pl scripts that you didnt upload yourself. Contact your hosting company and make sure you have access logs of the people that did the defacing. Backup all file and databases regularly and never give in to the hackers. I used to have a big problem with a lame hacker of my own and searched all over my site for the exploit. Be prepared to also move hosting providers, the problem i had with mine was a bug in the control panel software they used.

February 21, 200620 yr Just put the latest backup of your site back online. If the treat is as random as it seems, chances are they will give up long before your friend does.

February 21, 200620 yr wait is a train website a website about trains, or does it mean something else? ..neo-nazis..yes, about all types of trains, the game ms trainsimulator, and such. that game r0x0rs serious b0x0rz Don't go off topic.. On topic: I wouldn't think so much of it, just go to the police as the others say.. But why the hell would Nazis go and pick on a Hobby site?
February 21, 200620 yr 99% sure they are not nazis, and are just some kids who found out how to exploit certain types of websites, and this one just happened to be easy.
February 22, 200620 yr They're just little 15 year old kids who have nothing else to do. They learned how to hack sites, and tada. The company should help your friend track them down. Hope they get caught. :wink: ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.
