Even in Eternal Lands there are no such typos. How about someone give them the password and the mods could watch who's loging onto it.

mods dont know passes.. i believe

i mean with molime knowing my password who knows what might happen

 

You will turn into a fish sandwich instantly. :icon13:

 

And, right, mods dont know your passwords, they dont need to know them, why should they?

yea mods dont know passes they dont need to know them.

 

Only Entropy has access to the password file, i believe.

 

:icon13:

Entropy & I have access to the passwords, but that is because we are full server admins, not mods. Mods do not have access to your passwords.

EL team would ask You to vote for EL on MMORPG websites x times per day, but they will NEVER ask for Your password (probably because it is stored in plain-text format in some database). :)

The whole idea of mods having passwords is ridiculous.

 

What would we do with them? Help you get unstuck? If we did it for you, you'd never know how to do it yourself and would just keep asking us to do it. Sorry, we have enough work to do without playing everyone's characters as well.

What I found out so far:

ftp/ssh username is (prolly): articlev

FTP server is Pure-FTPd, can't see version.

 

http://articlever.com/index.php?page=/home...ands.com/login2

 

http://articlever.com/index.php?page=XXX lets you include any file on website with .php extension (this would open XXX.php in main directory). The above example opens the login2.php which processes the user/pass for EL thingie.

 

Whoever made such stupid bug that allows opening files site wide must have had made another one that will let me see the file without PHP parsing it and seeing the email where data is sent :).

 

*If you don't want this post/info here mods delete plx, I just want to help to find out who's behind this.*

Wow, cool, must mean we important now. It was always annoying to see that only ebay, paypal and various banks were targeted :)

BTW, if anyone enters their username and password and get hacked, we will not restore their accounts (or if we do so, it will be for a fee).

Maybe its just: Start low, end big?

Don't exclude that option. :)

Got one of these myself, wonder where they got the email addresses from, the forum?

 

 

Well yeah i can't imagine that they got your email just by accident... I'm sure that they r just looking at everybody's accounts on EL forums to check if it shows their email or not... guy sounds kinda newbie doing something like this and not expecting to get caught, wouldnt be surprised if they sent one to one of the Admins lol :)

Normally, this should not be possible, unless if there is some IPB exploit we are unaware of.

Please forward me that e-mail at chaos_rift at yahoo, and make sure to incluse the headers and everything.

It is also possible that maybe you posted your e-mail in some guild forum or something?

Ok, we got the IP (88.119.6.235, from Lithuania) of the scammer and banned his entire B class. Unfortunately there were no previous players logging from that IP.
