Website Defacing Example

Posted on February 4, 2008 by Kris Plunkett

A while ago I wrote a post about having stumbled across a site on the uwnews domain that had been attacked. Yoshi reported the problem after determining it to be genuine and uwnews fixed the problem promptly. At the time, I took a snapshot of what the hacked site looked like and wanted to share it here for the curious.

    Speaking of UW comps getting hacked, here’s a telnet connection to a UW computer that got brute forced recently. Apparently it was being rented out as online storage by a somewhat legit looking web service (psyBNC). I’ve blocked out the ip to protect the innocent. Just another reminder to use strong passwords, as even campus computers are constantly being attacked.

    [oystr@maui ~]$ telnet 128.208.4.** 9000
    Trying 128.208.4.**…
    Connected to 128.208.4.25 (128.208.4.**).
    Escape character is ‘^]’.
