Is THis Real?

Post by kalan_vod »

this is an email i recieved and it may be real...its likely.

here it is

Hey is there a phpbb forum you don't like? or so you like to test the
security of yours?
If so you need the phpBB Annihilator! newly released from puremicrosystems.
With this program you can completely spam a board till the point of
restarting it.
You can mass post, pm spam, register hundreds of users and much much
more and all behind proxies!.
visit
www.puremicrosystems.net
now!


joe kv are who ever, maybee you should look into this?

just thought i'd help :roll:

phpBB has built in things to forecom such things. Email activation, 'secret word' activation (the thing where you get a image you have to read and type in), flood control (you can only post one post in a certain time (30s or something like that)) and other stuff to prevent such mess...


further more, how low can you go, and flood a calculator forum... I mean... you must have shit in your head, if you think such things are funny :x (not pointed at you, just at 'you'... english is strange)

I think you should use the word "one" instead of "you" in such case.

I've seen dragon-warrior.com's message board get flooded with posts by this one idiot named CrazyAJ. An average of 20000 repetitions of a giant image per post.
You know your hexadecimal output routine is broken when it displays the character 'G'.

Yeah thanks. PhpBB is a board with potential flaws which caused some major trouble on community boards in the past. We don't want that to happen here :P .

I guess PhpBB 3 will fix almost all flaws... they've learned enough over there.

Someone needs to stick up a .htaccess file to block config.php from being downloaded.

Seeing a blank page from parsing the file's php is not enough, you need a nice 403 forbidden error to come up instead.
