xper Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 a rival forum that knew the passwordWhat is that mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Booger Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Well a while back, there was a guy who we all joined his forum, and he got p***ed and started hacking some sites, because he figured out that some of the admins were using the same password on his site as on their own. So he hacked the site, by using their own password. Very simple really,BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he hacked the site, by using their own password. Very simple really,BByup, what Boogs is saying makes more sense really, i agree , i think that is it..I am not really sure how they got to the password since ALL forum software out there encrypt the passwords and i really never saw a hack to "Unhide" them.. But if he knew enough stuff, he might have written it himself, a possibility i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 yup, what Boogs is saying makes more sense really, i agree , i think that is it..I am not really sure how they got to the password since ALL forum software out there encrypt the passwords and i really never saw a hack to "Unhide" them.. But if he knew enough stuff, he might have written it himself, a possibility i guess :yeahyeahBW- I've only been using vb for about 2 months,but even i know how to get passwords from other boards.I'm too honest though to even think about using the exploit.

MSNwar Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 I agree with FthrJack.When new visitors find that MSFN Members are owners, creators, admins, etc. of sites outside MSFN it lends a certain amount of credibility to MSFN. A win-win board links to outside interests posted by members of good standing. Makes a nice community.Ever consider a Board Ring (Web Ring) thingy?MSNwar - The FatManMy name is MSNwar and I am an MSFN Junkie:angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
