Looking around at the Nuke community and they too have been hacked by a group of hackers in brazil. Looking for NeoNazis? I thought all of the NeoNazis migrated to Brazil? There's a good discussion on http://www.computercops.biz/ and one guy just decided to update his .htaccess file to deny all of Brazil. I like that idea, because it appears from the thread that the offenders have the cooperation of their hosting IP.

damn.. i never knew that was possible. anyone have a reference they can point me to on this? i have an ex-member i'd like to stop browsing the board full-stop.

Overseer, I thought ya might find the following information useful...always glad to help out when I can.

Wanna stop file grabbing and email sucking bots? add this to your .htaccess file:

AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*NameOfBotProgramHere.*$ [OR]
RewriteRule /*$ http://botssuck!/index.html [L,R]

to deny by country:
ErrorDocument 403 http://whereveryousendyour403's/index.htm
<Limit GET>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from .countrycode
deny from .countrycode
deny from .countrycode
deny from .countrycode
</Limit>
ErrorDocument 404 http://whereveryousendyour404's/index.html

As for banning by IP, you can do it the same way as with the countrycodes, but I do believe you'll find that in your admin console. (But, careful when ya do that...we accidentally banned an entire C class of IP's...oops, hehe!) Also keep in mind that large .htaccess files put a heavy strain on the server's cpu...

Hope this helps!

Yep again, a way to stop that spider searching for the Packages.php file:

.htaccess file
AllowOverride None
order allow,deny
deny from all

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

<Files Packages.php>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

The first one is more than efficient BUT I was able to still get to the script the second set wont allow a hacker to read the .htaccess file

The third blocks access to the script itself and this fourth one If people have accesss to there raw Apache logs they
can run this

By the way these are crackers in this list.

order allow,deny
deny from 66.147.154.3
deny from 200.221.142.107
deny from 200.180.112.60
deny from 200.228.23.130
deny from 212.159.68.103
deny from 64.140.49.66
deny from 213.241.68.46
deny from 200.149.32.101
deny from 66.109.34.67
deny from 68.36.170.254
allow from all

I very much recommend going to 1.5.1 if you want full security.

-[Unknown]

That is not an option till a very stable release that is worth the effort for me to hack is out. My board is exrememely modded, and not with basic mods, almost all mods are custom. I have many features related to my site that run off of YaBB's template system and member base.

So every version before 1.51 is open to hackers?

Yes. Please apply as many of the fixes as you can manage.
