Someone badly fucked with the site. Sorry for the delay in getting it back.

Sorry to hear that. Glad it's fixed. Any suspects?

Sure, lots of suspects.

Truth is not popular these days.

4   Patrick   2017 Sep 22, 7:24pm  

Thanks! Interesting.

Still not sure what happened exactly. A bunch of database tables disappeared. Someone probably found a hole in the new node version and was able to do some sql injection attack. Down from what, 3pm to 7:22pm California time? My alerts also failed so I didn't know until leaving work.

Reverted to old but reliable php version of site.

Did they delete posts?

Does a Realtor live near you?

Freedom of speech and opinions are respected on this site. Could be someone who does not agree with what is generally posted here, or someone who has a grudge on you.
They would also need to have some technical expertise.

9   RC2006   2017 Sep 22, 7:42pm  

At least 3pm i emailed you at 347.

10   Strategist   2017 Sep 22, 7:49pm  

I do not want this site to come down because....
It's fun
There is freedom of speech
You can remain anonymous
You can let off steam
And there are people like Jazz and Dan, who keep putting me on ignore, because they hate facts.

Even though I had him on ignore for months I still know that he plans to go to Italy on a vacation soon. I must have read that on some highway billboard or on the flashing side of a blimp, huh?

If it makes you feel better, you are right. I will also be in the Washington DC area, in October. But i will still have access to Patrick.net, and you know what what that means.

Isn't that awesome? Education never hurts.

How educated are you? You never advertised that.

Just short of a PhD.

Tried to make a new post a moment ago. Got an error:

Unknown column 'post_private' in 'field list'

Thanks for telling me!

OK, fixed. You should be able to write a new post now.

17   just_passing_through   2017 Sep 22, 9:20pm  

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

[edit: it worked!]

Dan

Speaking of--has anyone had a comment from him? Doesn't he live in Florida?

19   lostand confused   2017 Sep 22, 9:51pm  

Wow-are we important enough to be hacked?

20   Patrick   2017 Sep 22, 9:55pm  

Seems to have pissed off someone with enough knowledge to cause trouble.

I hope it was the Saudis who hacked us because of all the mean things I say about them. On second thoughts, I don't think it was them. They don't have the brains to do something like that. Must be their goats.

22   Bellingham Bill   2017 Sep 22, 10:45pm  

oh no they removed all my ignores!

24   Ceffer   2017 Sep 22, 11:18pm  

Yup, my one banner is gone. However, I still have my deluded follower.

Like a Realtor has the skills to hack a website!

he's snarky, disingenuous, self-glorifying and droll.

Thought that was a general description of all Patnetters!
....

Those that are so engrossed with technology will do nothing to stop hackers so could you please STFU.

So is this Strategist's homepage now?

Was the reason the site came down to defeat banning the fucking trolls?

If you are such a delicate snowflake that you can't stand to read different opinions, kindly butt out and leave this site to those with a little more intestinal fortitude! The sheer arrogance of your position is obvious to everyone but you.

Patrick.net hacked!


@Patrick, is there any information on what the hacker(s) did besides briefly knocking the site offline? I'm wondering if the hack might presage a doxing campaign and/or adding people to an ISIL/Daesh kill list, in support of the "Muslim world plan against blasphemous content" that our government enables Pakistan to lead.
30   Booger   2017 Sep 23, 7:04pm  

Pictures still not working.

31   Patrick   2017 Sep 23, 7:19pm  

Yes, will get pictures back soon.

I think they just found some data that was indigestible to my site by trying lots of things.

There was a flurry of hits from lots of different places, and some attempts to inject sql right before it went down. I can see that much from the nginx logs.

Unfortunately, the way I brought the site back was to restore the database from the previous night. I should have kept a copy of the bad data for analysis, but did not.

33   Ceffer   2017 Sep 23, 7:23pm  

Can't upload images any more from my end.

Was that why it was down yesterday?
36   Patrick   2017 Sep 23, 10:07pm  

Yes, I don't know exactly how they did it, but fixed a few possible holes and have better monitoring in place now.
37   WatermelonUniversity   2017 Sep 24, 6:27pm  

patnet needs a security consultant. and i mean a REAL one, not curious2.

@Patrick, how old are your backups? How much is lost? New or old stuff?
