I got word from someone on my site that 3 forums got hacked, and he's being stalked by the Hackers. O_O
Another Site Down for the Count

It wouldn't really matter if a normal member's account got cracked....if an admins was then that would be a problem.OddCrazyMe said:
You guys know that cracking a pass isn't that hard, eh? All you need is to find the hashed passwords (which can actually be done fairly easily in GOOGLE) then run it through a de-hasher like John the Ripper, or on a more insecure server (I think you can do this of Invision free, I'm not sure though) you can just brute force passwords with something like Cane and Able. If I recall corectly an 8 character pass takes about 2 days to crack, where as an 8 character pass with any number takes about 2 millenniums .
(edit: adding more stuff)
That or you could (and this is probably the most easy way to take down a site) just launch a (D)Dos attack on the site, which can be done with some simple iframe and html coding. This is probably the easiest and most annoying (to the site owner) way to bring a site down, it works by acting as hundreds or even thousands, if you're patient enough with writing the code, (a lot of copying and pasting
) users trying to connect to the website until the host denies service because of too much traffic, like what happened to us with the Digg thing.

First part: It's not that easy. How about I make a new account here, and we'll see if you can do it.JJRamone2 said:You guys know that cracking a pass isn't that hard, eh?

Second part: That would take someone way too long to do, and it's not like you could post the iframe wherever you want, and it would have to be at a popular place that gets a lot of traffic. It's almost impossible and is really something that isn't done so much anymore. That and the fact that the FBI could get involved if someone attempts this on a website.
I changed my password.
Oh I know, the law could get involved, it wouldn't be a smart idea at all. But it would be easy.STORMCOMMANDER said:
Secondly: You could post the iFrame wherever you want, all you do is code it, save it as a htm file and open it, the computer will do the rest. Posting it on a popular website would just speed it up, trust me, I've tested it on my own website.

DOS attacks FTW errr..... FTL.....
What website would you do it at? Popular forums don't allow that kind of HTML. And who was your host? Websites these days usually have a large bandwidth limit that is usually not going to be passed. TBT's limit was passed when an article was on Digg.com because we had 15000 visitors in a few hours (and there was a huge image in the post that they went to too). This just doesn't seem remotely possible for someone to do. There have been things like this done against ebaums world I believe, but this was by YTMND members... thousands of people... (Neil Baumen said people were arrested for this by the way)JJRamone2 said:
Huh? I'm talking about the YTMND thing. But either way, ebaumsworld is a sad excuse for a websiteJJRamone2 said:The ebaums thing was he did it againsed something awful, the best website everSTORMCOMMANDER said:
