hi there been seeing a user by the name of AIDS and description of bad ass, it seems this user has found a security vunerability in the hub software. however, i think he is just testing untill last night when a hub i co-own was hacked in a major way, this is what happened:

hub kept closing, as if shut down
user limit dropped to lik 20 despite the slider saying 200
all users were getting redirected like crazy
there was a major lag, ie cant refresh user list etc

then, scripts died and wouldent re-load
and finally the hub beccame so that you couldent even uninstall it
and router ended up fuc*ed up and now blocks all traffic inbound

so whats with this, were is this security hole?
how are they breaching this vunerabilitie?
how can we stop it?

and more inportantley, how many hubs have had this attack?

i would prefer if peeeps dident talk about this in here and make it public knowledge of how or were.

so u can msn me if ya will
at: [email protected]

spam it like hell if ya klike but its a fake email address so dont waist ya time. its just a login for msn.

would appreciate some info here guys

thanx

I guess something like this happend to our hub too

TamilHub which is ment for indian movies!

one day we got something link everyone who gets conencted to the hub server get kicked and those who were in the hav not happend anything but they could not downlaod or do anything so when the reconenct they got banded too! that porblem was for 4 hours and after the hub owner hwo si running thr server on his pc came back and he tried to connect to his own hub and got banded too

well as i am co-owner and wrote the whole script i am sure there is no hole in my script!

so the problem solved after restarting the hub!

so anybody knows how this could happen?

tnx for ya reply in advance!
