Yes, the site was down for a while.

Everything's back up now but we went down for a while yesterday. Somehow or another (still looking into it) we were hacked. The hack was running processes on the server. The website went down because we (and by we I mean Taluntain) took it offline to stop it.

The files:

• .log/jancok.pl
  .log/jancok.conf
  .log/jancok

... ended up in directories in the wiki (/images) and phpBB (/pafiledb) so I've upgraded everything as a result. It appears the hack got through an exploit in the wiki image uploading and an exploit in the pafiledb download mod. As the download mod doesn't appear to have an upgrade, it'll stay offline until such time as I either find one or find an alternative. Everything else should be back online and operational though. Let me know if you run into any problems.

EDIT: Looks like there's been an exploit in the phpBB PAFileDB mod all along. There was an IRC bot hidden in there which I'm willing to bet is what allowed someone to upload these other scripts. PAFileDB itself as a stand-alone extension looks to be okay but the integration mod for phpBB is riddled with flaws.

 

Could've been. I doubt it though. Usually the 12 year olds who threaten us after they've been banned try and take us down and replace the front page with an "OMG Haxx0r3d by teh |33+ k|dd|3", not run scripts in the background which clog up the server. This looks more like a fairly typical hack. Bot operated and not targeted at us specifically but usually using google to trawl for susceptible sites.
