Everything is fine here now... But Gbatemp has some hidden open dirs which should really be closed... I found them a while ago.. I now have the full Ninja-DS log, Costello's address and pics of him and his new house...

Some things have been hacked at sites I visit too and it is, I assume you have good backups though.

I would suggest not allowing file listings or adding a humorous index.html as they are very easy to find otherwise and there is next to nothing you can do about it (5 seconds and I practically looking at a list of them and for the record my knowledge of all things HTML,PHP,webserver.... based is laughable at best.)

@sinkhead I would say it is someone who spied the handle and decided to run with it instead.

@anyone who can tell me
I appreciate you may not wish to answer this one and will respect any answer/response given but was it script kiddie level or something more involved?

After doing some digging over the internet, a few arabic websites came up. Since i'm from Egypt and i can read arabic i feel like it's my duty to tell you that He's definatly from Kuwait.

I also found this list of contacts, propably his friends or something
http://webspider00.we.funpic.de/listeconta...eg(hotmail).ctt
http://webspider00.we.funpic.de/listeconta...or(hotmail).ctt
his email is somewhere on both lists.

so far that's all I can find about him.

and to answer FAST6191; Hacking programs are becomming more and more popular, enumeration and vulrnability scanners like Metasploit and Retina are becomming better and better. There are websites dedicated to serve "script kiddies". So there's a good chance he is one of them.

Actually it is good that it happend, if it was done by another hacker he could have done way more damage than this one. Now gbatemp can secure theire site better to provent this from happening in the future.

Just as the Admins dont act like the U.S. Government in this situation XD
Yeah, let's not tell George about this...
..I'm pretty sure he's already got a map of Kuwait.

i'd be careful when it comes to this, if you pursue them they might just suicide bomb your network/computer or even the website for that matter...

Lol xD

there's not much to say...

good thing they didn't delete anything, and you gotta see the good side of things, they showed us our weakness(es)
now it's up to us to make sure nothing of the sort ever happens again!

about fixing it there wasn't much to do, just removing the index.html replacement page and putting the old index.php back.
once again I was lucky enough to be there at the time it happened.
Phew!
