Eve: Anyone up for answering a question
<br> Bleh, anyone here at all? D:
PrezKennedy: nope
<br> ;-)
Eve: :P
<br> You want to help me out? :O
PrezKennedy: depends on what it is
<br> ask the question and im sure someone will help you
Eve: Tis security related, i'm wondering how someone would be able to gain access to a wiki in such a way as to create an account and give themselves admin access?
<br> I don't think the password to an existing admin account was guessed
<br> This appeared shortly after it too; Sat 04 of Oct, 2008 [20:03] Index (hist v1) v c d s Created admin 0.0.0.0 Tiki initialization
<br> If that helps any.
***: SEWilco has quit IRC ("Leaving.")
starnix: Eve, are the permissions sane?
Eve: You're going to have to elaborate, I'm not used to Wiki settings.
<br> Sorry D:
<br> As far as i know, new members on the wiki don't have the permissions to delete pages or admin themselves. If that's what you mean :o
starnix: I was thinking more of the file permission settings on the wiki root files. Is this a windoze or unix installation?
Eve: Ooh, No idea sorry. The owner of the wiki isn't tech-savvy and i'm looking into this for her
starnix: Who ser it up?
<br> set*
Eve: Two other people, they aren't online at the moment so i can't ask them about it D:
<br> However the guy gained access must have been fairly simple though, he wasn't the smartest guy
starnix: Do you have an idea who the culprit is?
Eve: Yeah, he never bothered using a Proxy either as far as i know
<br> We've banned his IP through the webserver, but he could always grab a proxy and return. So we've disabled registration on the Wiki for now
starnix: Is it a shared server?
Eve: Meaning?
starnix: Do you own the server or is it provided by a hosting company?
Eve: Ahh, it's provided by a hosting company
***: SEWilco has joined #tikiwiki
Eve: Sorry if i'm being troublesome >_>
starnix: Not at all. I'd alert the hosting company, there may be other, more serious, security flaws.
Eve: hmm, okay
<br> If they'd gained access to the site wouldn't they have just wiped the whole thing though?
<br> All they done was edit a few Wiki pages and delete one permanently
starnix: Not necessarily. Was there any clue as to their intentions from what they edited?
Eve: He was just being an idiot
<br> Trying to cause as much problems for us as possible i reckon
starnix: Is this the first time its happened?
Eve: Yep
<br> Can i put this on hold for 10 minutes? I need to go somewhere really quickly
starnix: Sure, maybe someone else on here can be of more help than I've been.
Eve: Eh, you've been good :P
<br> Back in a bit
marclaporte: polom
Eve: Right, back now
<br> Anyone have any ideas?
***: SEWilco has quit IRC (Remote closed the connection)
starnix: Eve, what are you using for the database?
Eve: No idea whatsoever
<br> Is there any way i could check? Without having admin access
starnix: Its pretty transparent to the end-user. If the db isn't secure, most anything can be done to the site without really using the wiki pages.
Eve: Anything i can try out?
starnix: Do you have shell access to the site?
***: Eve has quit IRC ("CGI:IRC")
<br> Eve has joined #tikiwiki
Eve: Woops, X'd the box by accident
<br> Woops, X'd the box by accident D:
<br> And nah, i don't
<br> Hm...sorry about that
starnix: ftp access?
Eve: Nope
starnix: Does anyone else have some suggestions for Eve?
Eve: I doubt the guy could have forced access to any of this though
starnix: Maybe he couldn't, but possibly a friend of his could.
Eve: ahh
<br> He didn't strike me as the friend-hoarding type :P
starnix: It doesn't take an army of friends.
Eve: Was over something really trivial too >_< some people have issues.
starnix: sylvieg .. I did fix the problem I asked about earlier with installing the workspace mod. After a massive greping of the whole tree, I edited the "features-aulawiki.info.txt" to correct the INSERT strings to match the table stucture.
<br> Eve, maybe you should talk to the perpetrator, if he knows you know who he is he may not try it again.
Eve: I doubt i'll get anything sensible out of him, or that he'll be scared. He sent PM's to the admins on our forums beforehand with what he probably thought were badass insults then started trash talking us on some other board only to be banned there too

koios: i have some other pc tech geeks on here that wanna start thread too
<br> i am going too =]
<br> i dont mind her just dont like someone spamming like that
Jilanha: yeah you need just a few mods that you trust to open topics for you and clarify which member is going to lead discussion rather than just mod everyone
koios: right
<br> i agree
<br> do you think i should allow her to now
<br> or should i wait
Jilanha: to what? to mod or lead a discussion
koios: the site is not complete
<br> lead discusssion
Jilanha: well, how far from completion are you?
koios: i am just about there it is functional
<br> just a few lil tweaks
Jilanha: well you could release a copule of topics, just so others who are as of yet undecided can get an idea of what it will be like
koios: did you register yet?
<br> on the RnR site?
Jilanha: no not yet but that's cause i don't really know what it's going to be like
koios: basically filling in the gaps for wiki

macjaeger: didn't work they way i explained?

<br> lorinc has quit IRC (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
koios: did u register on the site yet? i will make you a moderator
<br> i made copies of all the home files and changed there name to chat
<br> i figured that would work but it is so early
<br> i am getting sick of all this i need to take a break
macjaeger: actually you didn't need to change anything
<br> you only need to put that magic line to a wiki page:
<br> {IRCCHAT()}my Chat{IRCCHAT}
koios: i do?magic?
macjaeger: then this page will show the chatwindow
koios: really so i can create any page and put it on it
macjaeger: when you want to have a button in your menu you must create an menu entry for it
<br> sure, that's what plugins are about, right?
<br> they plug in a page :)
koios: www.mibbit.com
macjaeger: oh wait
<br> now you want to put _that_ in your page?
koios: yes
<br> well i dont need that irc
<br> i like the frog
<br> =[ i wish i was smarter
macjaeger: then you'll have to do the work yourself
koios: really
<br> ok what was your way
<br> i am ready
macjaeger: well i showed you one way to do it, if you want to walk another road, you'll have to get your own map out
<br> maybe you should start logging our conversations
<br> i feel kind of stupid repeating myself over and over
koios: =[ i wish i was older these things are so hard for a 11yr old =[
macjaeger: ok, then you're out
koios: lol i am teasing but i feel like one
macjaeger: your're legally not supposed to run any public site or chat
<br> *g*
-: marclaporte is curious about this irc discussion
koios: i need a chatrrom on my page
marclaporte: I didn't read log, in a nutshell, was is happening?
macjaeger: <u>marclaporte</u>: koios wants to have chat on his site, and found that mini_chap doesn't work
koios: i need to know how to install it
macjaeger: it doesn't work for me either, so i put a java-irc-client in a plugin and put that on a wikipage
<br> now i was trying to help koios do the same
koios: where do i acess plugins mac?
macjaeger: plugins ar - basically - php-scripts stored in /lib/wikiplugins folder
<br> and they are - basically - put into wikipages by adding the right incantation to the page
koios: ok so i copy paste my irc code and put it in that folder
macjaeger: that incantation is {PLUGINNAME}
<br> i provided you with a zip-archive, containing all the necessary files to put pjirc on your site
<br> you need to unzip that and upload the contents to your webroot
koios: ok i will work at it
macjaeger: when you've done this you can insert {IRCCHAT()}my chat{IRCCHAT} in any wikipage
<br> and tikiwiki will show the java plugin there
koios: what about on my horizontl menu
<br> what is your user name on my site mac i will make you a moderator
macjaeger: [13:48] <macjaeger> when you want to have a button in your menu you must create an menu entry for it
<br> sorry, you'll have to moderate your site yourself
koios: i have others
<br> wanted you because you are so intelligent and kind
<br> =[ but that is ok i'll just get some kids to help out
<br> you can have your own thread mac we will name it Macs Pc help
macjaeger: sure, can do
koios: ok cool
macjaeger: i'm 50� per hour
koios: this way you can check every so often
<br> oh no this is a free site to help the public
macjaeger: what exactly are you providing?
koios: a wikipedia that is also a community
<br> now you can hangout and chat in forums blog emails evrything
<br> plus search for information an any given subject
<br> so it is perfect for you
macjaeger: so actually you are building your own yahoo + wikipedia ?
koios: yea
macjaeger: why?
koios: becuase that is what i wanted
<br> so i did
<br> i want something that is easy to navigate
<br> and not full of ads
macjaeger: why not join communities that already exist?
<br> would spare you the trouble of all that tech stuff
koios: i want to make money
<br> i am broke

macjaeger: easier than wikipedia?
koios: you are a rarity in this belive most people highly anticipate this site

<br> i just woke up on the wrong side of the bed sorry
***: koios has quit IRC ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
macjaeger: ^^
<br> <u>marclaporte</u>: you said you were interested in that chat subject... why?
marclaporte: I think chat is essential part of online communities
macjaeger: yes. sure it is
marclaporte: I feel currently irc #tikiwiki is too disconnected from tikiwiki.org
<br> I think web-interface to IRC, using tikiwiki.org credentials would be nice
<br> irc.tikiwiki.org has nice logging
<br> but totally not integrated with cgi-irc
<br> or tiki
macjaeger: a chat must be usable outside of the site too
marclaporte: yes, with desktop client
macjaeger: i won't have the page open whole day, but i'm logged in here almost always
<br> yet still the page should provide _one_ way inside
marclaporte: yup
macjaeger: that's why i choose a java client
<br> (on my site)
marclaporte: that won't work on my pocketpc
<br> But I understand the choice
macjaeger: would flash?
marclaporte: cgi-irc does
<br> no flash
macjaeger: cgi-irc is heavy on the server & connection
***: CIA-53 has quit IRC ()
macjaeger: well, that won't hurt tw.o i guess, but our shared host won't allow it for obvious reasons
<br> but for your pocketpc there must be some standalone irc clients, right?
marclaporte: yes, you are right
<br> could do that
macjaeger: maybe one could have a page showing either cgi:irc or java/flash client, and listing "common" clients to use for different situations?
