17b's Hacking Options

[Chapo]

17b a une nouvelle fois été hacké avec mise en place de fichiers frauduleux sur notre serveur. Google m'en a averti par mail.

Pour l'instant j'ai supprimé une partie des fichiers incriminés et rechargé ma dernière sauvegarde "propre".

Cela fait 2 fois en 2 mois qu'un pirate s'introduit sur notre site. Il installe des fichiers permettant d'envoyer du spam. Cela doit l'amuser. (IMG:http://forum.17buddies.rocks/style_emoticons/default/icon_nul.gif)

Je n'ai malheureusement pas les compétences ni le temps pour résoudre ce problème et les fondateurs historiques de 17b qui avaient ces compétences ne sont plus disponibles pour ça non plus.

J'en appelle donc aux bonnes volontés qui souhaiteraient d'une façon ou d'une autre aider EatingPizza à résoudre ce problème.

Je reste bien évidemment à la disposition d'EatingPizza pour lui donner tous les codes d'accès nécessaire au réglement du problème.

Pour moi s'en est fini et je vous confie mon bébé. Je vous demande juste d'en prendre soin. (IMG:http://forum.17buddies.rocks/style_emoticons/default/bye.gif)

Nous avons passé de bons moments ensemble. Il est maintenant temps pour moi de tourner la page. (IMG:http://forum.17buddies.rocks/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:http://forum.17buddies.rocks/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

========================================================================

Once again 17b has been hacked with setting up fraudulent files on our server. Google notified me by e-mail.

For now I deleted some of the offending files and reloaded my last "clean" backup.

It is 2 times in 2 months that a pirate is introduced on our site. It installs files to send spam. That must amuse him. (IMG:http://forum.17buddies.rocks/style_emoticons/default/icon_nul.gif)

Unfortunately, I do not have the skills or the time to solve this problem and the historic founders of 17b who had these skills are no longer available for it either.

So I appeal to the good will who would somehow help EatingPizza to solve this problem.

I remain of course at the disposal of EatingPizza to give him all the access codes necessary to solve the problem.

For me it is finished and I entrust my "baby" to you. I just ask you to take care of it. (IMG:http://forum.17buddies.rocks/style_emoticons/default/bye.gif)

We had a great time together. It is now time for me to turn the page. (IMG:http://forum.17buddies.rocks/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:http://forum.17buddies.rocks/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

It will be very complicated to use the cloud to store the maps as the code has not been developed for that possibility.

All paths are "hard drive" coded and unrar/unzip/zip/check/ utilities won't work on the cloud.

This solution will certainly be possible, but only for backup purpose.

As far as I understood, you have not bad guest user traffic, so can you convert it to some money by Ads?
Maybe the community is currently dead, but the main goal is to save this site as working software. So you need to optimize spending money or/and preserve your code and DB at public github or bitbucket, zip and upload content to torrent and/or free/cheap cloud.
I think it is still possible to find new young owners, who are passionate about HL games, even if he will decide to change the whole project and domain name, that will be better case, than death. There are a lot of such sites about CS/HL, so it seems the theme is still actual.

Why it shouldn't work? Storring in the cloud is just simple put|get|delete request and php works with them same way. The best way is making local 1-5 Gb cache and have a copy of popular files at local hdd to minimize requests to the cloud, so you will pay a few cents less (IMG:http://forum.17buddies.rocks/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Here is official Amazon S3 wrapper library for php http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/...am-wrapper.html
In any case you should search new owners outside of 17b community too increase the odds.
