Do you work for them now or something, i get so confused!Not when that hacker has hacked you before, he/she then becomes untrusted as it is not needed. If there was a security issue which there obviously was there is no need to exploit it but just send it to an member of staff who will actually deal with it.
Oh, and for anyone who says they don't deal with the problems you haven't seen the issues that were on the beta site, all dealt with within 10 minutes or less ;P![]()
Lol, yeah the issue with the old site was it was so complicated to fix. It's coding was really confusing to follow, even Nick had trouble from time to time. This time around even I can go in and fix the code as it's been made really clean and simple. So any bugs that do occur any of the development team can go straight to the file and sort it out.
It will be nice to hear all your thoughts about the site once it launches.
;P
No.. not necessarily.. yeah, there were tons of bugs, there were tons of exploits.
From what Nick told me, and from what I've heard, the coding was god-awful.. and that's fine.. because it has improved now.
The exploit on the old site was just so obvious, it appeared by just typing "it's" into a profile field, which broke the SQL query.
So in turn, when the system updated the database, it looked like this.
UPDATE `table` SET `field`='$field' WHERE `bla`='$id'
Now that isn't the correct names, or structure of the query, but here's how it would look normally:
UPDATE `table` SET `bio`='hey there I am Caleb' WHERE `id`='1'
Now when I typed it's, it looked like this.
UPDATE `table` SET `bio`='hey there I am Caleb. It's' WHERE `id`='1'
As you can see, when I typed the ', it broke the SQL statement, allowing me to insert arbitrary SQL. So all I had to do was this:
UPDATE `table` SET `bio`='heyder' WHERE id='1'--' WHERE `id`='1'
The -- is a comment, which cancels out the rest of the statement.
Thankfully this is fixed![]()
I thought youmeo couldnt turn the website "offline" :S
Either way nice splash page![]()
