Hack risk

Thulemanden · Posted: Wed Jun 07, 2006 8:33 am Post subject: Hack risk

I set up a daytime server yesterday (closed nights).

However I am concerned posting the link here will make it easy pickings for hackers looking for a specific vulnerability in Abyss.

Have any of you been hacked, defaces og denied servce (DNA)?

There are no known vulnerabilities in Abyss. If there were they would be fixed quickly. The only other way to "hack" or "deface" your site would be through a badly coded script. If its purely HTML pages then you have no problems.

Okay, thanks.

My server is in http://83.92.35.50

I'll get a domain name later. There's a fancy new one: .name, kinky!

I've defaced a lot of websites, all of them because of stupid PHP/ASP/JPS-scrips that dosn't validate incomming data.

Abyss is secure. Just limit access to the console, enable anti-hacking and your server should be pretty secure.

I didn't even have to translate your site to find that it's devoted to Abyss! Your the best man!

I just tried to translate http://83.92.35.50/page1.shtml but I it would no work. :o

It's written in Dannish. The page is pretty much just about Abyss and how easy it is to use.

How kool is that! I'm going to link to his page. Hey Thulemanden, do you think you could produce an english copy as well? Most epople who visit my site only speak English and won't know that it's in Danish,

Thanks Tom

His site could be anything. He is forever changing it :-)

Guess I could buy a proper domain for .dk on the server and make it a local center in Danish. I have got open forums on www.ebookmark.dk that can handle forums professionally and securely with backups etc

Well, I ordered a doman name with abyss in it; I'll post it once it has been registered.

No, it simply blocks all IP Addresses except the local ones to the console. Simple! :-)

Hey Tom (mrwiseone),

I've visited your site quite a lot and see you have had some really neat designs.

Instead of scrapping them all and starting over, I have a suggestion or two.

1. Maybe your site could allow a person to select which theme they want to view your site in. Just keep the content separate from the theme and let PHP compile all the HTML.

2. For content, you could offer different themes for download that you've collected, whether original with you or found somewhere on the net. I personally would like to build a collection of different themes.

Actually pkSML, you may have an idea there.

Instead of making templates for his site, why doesn't he compile them for other people to download and use on their site? I think that would be a nice thing for the Abyss community to have :-)

In the mean time I got som hardware problems and had to flush my MS XP with Abyss on it. :cry:

This means my web server now is Monkey HTTP Daemon on Damn Small Linux, as it comes embedded and ready with that distro. Also had to use some old versions of the content file.

However I still advocate Abyss for Windows users, :) although I presently dare not exchange Monkey for Abyss given the hours spent on recovering from what started out as shift of a cabinet. :cry:

If anyone has a design for exchanging one server tool for another, e.g. Mnkey for Abyss on Linux, please advise.

I know the router is set to point to the PC holding the server, but how does it know how to direct traffic down to the web folder. Is it the server tool Abyss/Monkey that collects it from the router rather than passively receive it?

Can I simply close the Monkey Server and install and start Abyss with no problems?

Thank you.
