Hacking wiiboxart.com poorly?

[Ultim8]

Ok and do you have cpanel?

 

[djtaz]

You - tried that too - permissions denied

 

[Ultim8]

ok have you tried taking the wiichat out as i believe there quite easy to inject code into.

how about just applying htmlspecialchars() to any place with user input..and verify images uploaded have the correct mime type

 

[ChronosWing]

I registered just to thank taz for all his hard work, I donated today when the site was working, I hope you get it up and running again soon!

djtaz, sorry to see you having so many hassles with your site, i for one really appreciate the effort you and others put in to make it so easy to use.
If/when it's running agian, and hibern has implemented the login feature i will gladly donate for the bandwidth i use.

Cheers

I already check mime types and i thought i had covered all of the special characters , but i must be missing something somewhere - ill check them all again later when i have time , but i havent even had time with all the trouble ive had recently, which is a catch22 situation.

On the plus side, Every time this happens i get locked out and i re-upload the site again , which means i have 3 copies of an untouched site now and a list of what ip's were online at the time it froze on each

its just a matter of going through them and starting to block IP's


I also want to thank everyone for the supprt and understanding your giving while the site is down - it takes the pressure off me a bit and makes life a bit easier so thanks again.

@ djtaz

Do you think the hacker also obtained the member passwords? Should I be worried?

Thats not in the site folder - its in the hosting root, so its doubtful

The site is down again this time says "This Account Has Been Suspended". hope its because of we went over the bandwith limit

When is this ever going to end?

Probably now. The site kept getting attacked and the host is crap. Hopefully it will appear somewhere else if not then you will have to get your lazy ass manually sorting your covers. I wish people would stop expecting to be spoon fed all the time.

It's not only a matter of "manually sorting" covers. Many people here have no intention of mass-downloading, and simply need a place to get the covers period, even one by one. Console-covers.com is nice enough, if you don't mind resizing and renaming the images yourself, but even they won't let you download more than 5 covers in 24 hours unless you pay for a premium account. Where else might you suggest going? I think it's completely ridiculous that people are bitching that djtaz is charging for mass downloading, then in the same breath redirecting people to console-covers.com, which does the same thing but on a much more profit driven level (whereas it appears djtaz is just trying to keep the wiiboxcovers afloat without going broke). That site is clearly making plenty of money.

I think alot of people didn't realize the value of the service djtaz was providing, until it was taken away. I also think a whole lot of people in this thread are directing their anger in the wrong direction. Why the hell SHOULDN'T he charge for bandwidth usage that he otherwise has to pay for himself, just so schmucks can download 300 covers at once for free? If the site ever manages to get back up and running, and Hibern's loader adds support for the new user/pass requirements, then I'll be donating in a flash.

Amen to that

Just replying to give djtaz some credit and support. I appreciate your great work and for me as a relative newbie to using the USBloader and using the covers with the USBloader, it saves a lot of time finding and resizing the boxarts. I chose to donate some amount of money for that. Other people don't want to donate money for that: then that's they're choice. Simple as that I think.
Once again, I hope djtaz continues his great work. I didn't mind donating a small amount of money for a bigger amount of time spent by djtaz in this service and for don't having to pay for a lot of games.

 

[Amarok]

I donated a small amount of money too and I have to say that you did a great job taz!

Although I just came home to download the covers since I didn't have enough time to download the packages and found out the website is suspended

Is it coming back up or is it gone for good?

 

[strangephish]

The site is currently back up, and am i thinking correctly that if you want the USB loaders to use this site we pay (which is fine with me)

EDIT: Nevermind it was up for all of 2 min....

 

[666]

It was too good of a service to last for free!!! Worth paying for, but so are games, and the amount of work that's gone into piracy still isn't anywhere near the amount of work that goes into a retail game, life eh!

 

[Hooya]

You know you can get all of your covers from right here on GBAtemp. Go into the Releases part of the board, find the game, download the cover. Will you have to rename and resize them? Probably, but they're already in PNG format.

Oh, boo-hoo they're not the 3d covers. Big deal.
