Is the answerbank safe?

[crossroads]

Bloody hell, hackers can easily get into all of your accounts.
note to all hackers: Answerbank is unsafe with many security flaws. Try exploiting the search, music or news sections.

[fine,thanks]

try doing some work !

[crossroads]

Why fine,thanks, the boss has gone to poundland and i'm in the office on my own.
I got bored of playing with the photocopier so i thought i'd have another go at exploiting answerbank, with some of my more powerfull software.

[B00]

can hack away at mine all ya want petal, nowt on it, i only use this 'puter for browsing.

[crossroads]

B00, your safe for now, although not so sure about the editor, 122 flaws and pending.

Hello Crossroads, how are you today?

You sound like you're a little bored. Why not do something interesting and formulate a new computer virus called Armaggedon or something along those lines. Or what about hacking into the CIA database to look for flaws. You may even find something on there about Osama that all intelligence agents have missed. They will all be smacking their foreheads

[crossroads]

Hit tiggerblue, hope you are well. i am bored. I have built many computer viruses so got bored of that stuff. Also me and the lads, (who are all off today) have tried hacking into the CIA. No documents are stored on their server anyway and they also can traceroute hackers so one time was enough for us, before we get into trouble.

[bednobs]

i suppse "safe" is all relative. Ypu make it sound akin to walking down bahgdad's main highstreet in a police uniform. Personally, if someone can hack onto my ab user account the first thought that crosses my mind id "so what?"

[crossroads]

Say admin, do you have a file called guestbook.dbc?
Oh yes you do because i've downloaded it from your server.
best call in the web programmers for a once over.

[crossroads]

bednobs, your email address could be stolen and then it could be spammed.
I'm talking leaks that could let me bring the whole of answerbank down. And this is just by using a few common exploits. Some of the rarer exploits could let me gain entry to the host computers via a forced remote desktop connection.
Listen benobs, were talking critical here.

oh, your worried now arn't you.

If we all tell you what a clever person you are will you please shut up and stop scare mongering and bragging about your abilities? If AB is such a dangerous place full of security flaws and you are so clever then why on earth are you not avoiding this site like the plague? If I had such concerns I would be contacting Ed in private - well have fun and hack me as much as you want - don't bother reporting back as I won't come back to this thread.

[netibiza]

Why would anyone bother? there's nothing of interest or important on mine.

[joko]

OH MY GOD - SPAM!!! Arrggghhhh, how will i cope?

help us crossroads, help us, save us from the end of the world that - spam!!

Have you heard yourself?
Have you read any of this back to yourself?
You sound unhinged and slightly suffering from megalomania.
If you really want to play at being a master hacker, aim for something a bit more 'secure' and interesting than AB.


i thought you were a cameraman?

[Craig007]

Crossroads try and change the Sport section back to how it was please.

[crossroads]

bloody hell, i hacked into AB because i was bored.
I am a cameraman but i work freelance and in between contracts i work as a web designer.
Also craig, hacking only goes so far.

[VINNY100_2]

It was worth a try craig...lol.(:O)

[joko]

when i get bored, i find something to do, i don't start some laughable campaign against a website who has ''crossed'' me (for 'crossed', read didn't get my own way with) and start threatening to 'bring down ab' and release private documents, post their addresses etc, like some maniacal lex luther character!!

no-one is impressed, or even believes you, in case you hadn't realised.... especially since you won't tell why you are so upset with them...anyone else would just moan about that...

[Marvelman]

crossroads i think you have been watching to many films. ca'nt belive your boss leaves you alone in an office, bet he askes the cleaning lady to keep an eye on you.
