[twsocket] Wiki issue
Hello, I've looked something up in the wiki today and routinely (don't do much ICS related work currently so routinely is months...) I look at the list of latest changes to see how wiki progresses. (Has anybody not yet ontributed? ;-) ) Now I saw that in the last few days 500 bogus user accounts with seemingly random names have been created. Anybody noticed this already? Does this do any harm? Are there any counter measures? (e.g. a log with the IP of those creators and if it's the same IP maybe it can be traced and at least a provide get informed) This is for this time, but I'll most probably return with another thread about TSmtpCli tonight...

Re: [twsocket] Wiki issue
This has been noticed before. Bogus accounts get created all the time, but you have to have permission to actually contribute. Those bogus accounts therefore do not harm the system, apart from take up database space. Francois (and I believe some other senior developers) have the power to grant you write rights if you would like to contribute to the Wiki :) Lester On 01/08/2012 18:40, Markus Humm wrote: Hello, I've looked something up in the wiki today and routinely (don't do much ICS related work currently so routinely is months...)

Re: [twsocket] Wiki issue
Those are created automaticaly by some malware in the hope of modifying pages but since Overbyte wiki requires permission, nothing bad ever occured.

Re: [twsocket] Wiki issue
I searched the web with no luck to find a SQL statement to delete fake user from the database. If anyone has some resource to share... The difficulty is to delete only fake user and not the real users and without compromising database [referential] integrity. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -Message d'origine- De : twsocket-boun...@elists.org [mailto:twsocket-boun...@elists.org] De la part de Lester Clayton Envoyé : mercredi 1 août 2012 20:57 À : ICS support mailing Objet : Re: [twsocket] Wiki issue This has been noticed before.
