Amen brother!
It appears the front page was hacked. Buncha pimply-faced morons.
Yup. Was afraid the whole thing had gone down the drain. Been checking VBulletin boards. May have been done through some insecure script. I highly doubt they had any other kind of server access.
Script kiddies losers, I betcha.

Hmm... all index.php were defaced. cprogramming.com, the forums archive, ... mod_rewrite?

Seems as though all passwords still work and users can still log-in. I'll bookmark this until the main page is back up.
I have no idea what this proves except that some morons can hack a page. Stupid.

Yeah this will be fun. I've had a bit of experience fighting hackers myself (some hacked into our servers where I work).
Most likely cause: somewhere in the site the "get" and "post" variable inputs are not being checked, and so the hackers probably got access do the database and used SQL injection to discover admin passwords, logged in as an admin, uploaded some scripts and defaced the site.
I noticed it a while ago too.
Does anyone know when the site will be fixed?
Has anyone contacted the webmaster or kermi?
Looks fine to me. What did I miss?

The two 'dudes' (<no credit due>) are members of some defacing "security" group. Wow, sounds fun...
They're probably not aware that hacking in Egypt has recently been made illegal, and carries a hefty penalty. Only time will tell.
If by that comment you mean it's still in a hacked state then I guess it has to do with someone's ISP's caching now.
I actually make shortcuts directly to the forums I visit, so I wouldn't see it anyway.

uh? No its alright now. They put the picture of a skull on the main page (I saw that some 6 hours ago). Its fine now.
Yeah, HaTsA4 and H666p said they wheren't sorry that the admins thought their site was secure.
Their text are was pretty good actually.
Anyway...
BURN!

I doubt they were from egypt. The javascript variables were in Spanish and the img tags were pointing to a site in San Diego, California.
