    Yeah, some idiot thought he was going to be cute and try to impress his friends. His "hack" was actually posted in about 20 articles and forums before he was banned and all his posts went "poof!" as they were deleted. Just another script kiddie who thinks he's better than the guy he lifted this idea from...

                  Thats because I have better things in life to do than sitting and thinking about an idiot who lost his brain and thinks he is a super hero trying to exploit sites rather than inform the webmaster who is doing a great job in having this community running

                        Some guy named fbi123 hacked the Vista, Lounge, Poll, and Suggestions forum and posted the CP source code. Then he deleted everything below the message (rating, other posts and footer of the page). That's just what I saw, I'm sure he probably did more. It was mess.

                          It's not a hack - it's an exploit of the fact that we don't fully tidy the HTML we allow you guys to post. We do still work on a trust basis here. Happens again and I just turn off HTML tags in the forums until I can get around to adding int HtmlTidy or something. But since it's the holidays that ain't going to happen till next week.

                          cheers, Chris Maunder

                          I kind of think that it may have accidentally been me that inspired that ***hol* to hack the site. I'm sorry. Yesterday I noticed a whole lot of vulnerabilities and was going to email you about them as soon as a got a chance. I think he may have seen me testing one of the vulnerabilities in the design/architecture. I'm really sorry, I didn't realize anyone would see that. I'll send you an email this week with an idea on how to stop all the XSS etc. (PS. I have cleaned everything I did up and I realized I could use the "preview" option to test the problems after a while so I don't think he knows about some of the major vulnerabilities) Chris... Why do you have a knife in your hand??? AAAARRRGHHHHH!!!!

                                I'll probably get voted down for this, but... The guy isn't exactly an idiot as he did successfully carry out a attack...immature...yes...inappropriate...absolutely (would have been nice of you to just inform Chris or someone - maybe ask for a free t-shirt or custom CP security guru status. Much better on a resume than village idiot) To call him an idiot, is just not fair or accurate I should say... In a way...it's nice to know it's over and done with and shouldn't happen again...kinda like getting the measels or chicken pocks...or ripping a bandaid off quickly as opposed to slowly... Cheers :)

                                    I agreed with some of what you said, but I don't think this will be the last of it. One the little prat tells his "friends" how he hacked CP then they will be all over us. Not to mention (until yesterday) I never even bothered trying to find holes in CP because I believed that a site this size would have covered them a long time ago. I think this is going to be nothing more then an incentive for others to try and find holes.

                                        I'll probably get voted down for this, but... The guy isn't exactly an idiot as he did successfully carry out a attack...immature...yes...inappropriate...absolutely (would have been nice of you to just inform Chris or someone - maybe ask for a free t-shirt or custom CP security guru status. Much better on a resume than village idiot) To call him an idiot, is just not fair or accurate I should say... In a way...it's nice to know it's over and done with and shouldn't happen again...kinda like getting the measels or chicken pocks...or ripping a bandaid off quickly as opposed to slowly... Cheers :)

                                        It's frustrating being a genius and living the life of a moron!!!

                                        I disagree with you. It is not particularly hard to find holes in many big web sites, especially those that can be exploited remotely by script. If every little dick who found one started to exploit it rather than have the good sense and manners to report it then the world wide web would be one big locked down uninteresting place. To me an idiot is someone who demonstrates a lack of good intelligence, and the trouble maker in this case fits that definition perfectly. That fact that it is illegal, and he has just broken a law which carries a prison term, only makes him more of an idiot.

                                          I can't modify my original post, but wanted to add that my vote just pulled your message out of the red and into the grey. I guess your fives must have been from bronze members - I'm sorry I only meant to take you to a 3.5 to 4ish. :doh:
