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 ***: Eve has quit IRC ("CGI:IRC") <br> marclaporte has quit IRC (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) <br> SEWilco has joined #tikiwiki <br> evie has joined #tikiwiki <br> evie has quit IRC (Client Quit) <br> koios has joined #tikiwiki koios: chiba? <br> can anyone help <br> hello ***: Jilanha has joined #tikiwiki Jilanha: good evening :D koios: hey <br> jil <br> are you here to help or do you need help Jilanha: oh I need help <br> I don't know anything about sql other than how to copy and paste it :P koios: ok <br> i will try but no expert here whats p <br> whats up Jilanha: http://thenetherrealm.com/wiki3/tiki-index.php <br> error messages everywhere :P <br> and there are some tables I'm trying to restore to that database that are too large to import...I can't figure out how to add them in koios: ok 1 sec <br> what theme are you using?

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?
