RE: RCIC been hacked??

2000-09-07 Thread eric . lifsey

For what it's worth, a modest amount of de-hacking revealed that:

www.rcic.com was one of several intended targets, according to the source code,
though no specific reason why RCIC was a target unless it is co-hosted at some
site the hacker attacked; or someone fed up with Euro Norms (ha ha).

A DNS query of www.rcic.com points to 216.182.39.123, but a reverse query of
216.182.39.123 yields nothing, so it might be a redirection at a DNS server.

In other words, there is hope that the www.rcic.com (et al) server is actually
intact or untouched.  It just means someone gets to rebuild the DNS tables, and
it may be automatic or someone will take care of it real soon now.

Yes. It looks like the guy(?) has replaced the RCIC home page with his own,
but has a message to the system admin.
I suggest that Tom (or is/was it Wyle that maintains the site?) contact
him/her ASAP.

Yes, but I used my browser to get directly into the virtual conference hall
(http://www.rcic.com/adm/cnf/confs.cfm?dir=nr=1ord=dw=pstc), as it only
seems to affect the home page.

Re: RCIC been hacked??

2000-09-07 Thread Art Michael

Hi Mike,

It appears so.  Apparently a hacker has breached the security of many
sites. The outcome is that either the Domain Name Servers direct queries
for the hacked-sites to an alternate location where the ANTI ANTI-NAPSTER
rant resides, OR, perhaps the rant itself has replaced the top-level file
at the hacked sites.

I expect any queries to RCIC will yield the same results (until the hack
is cleared) and suggest we keep the pstc channel open and not clog it
with numerous confirmations of the hack. 

Regards, Art Michael

Yup.  Either hacked or someone managed to point RCIC requests to the wrong
IP address.
