50 banned hackers

I am sorry for what I said, it was dumb of me to post in such anger. There is no truth to what I said about eastman. What I said was said out of anger and was wrong and I appologize. It was not mature of me, and was uncaled for.

appologize <-- busted again
uncaled <-- busted again

With all due respect Mr. Pritchard, a mess *I* made? Funny shit. I spent day in and day out trying to improve the way business/servers was/were handled there. I ran things a hell of a lot better than they were when I got there.

Your point is? You started at split thinking you were a big shot, you still do. You knew fucking NOTHING. You wined and moaned that you wanted to do support shit. Instead you were doing sales, or should I say TRYING to do sales. Instead, you spent all day either on the phone, or talking on AIM, or playing video games. You're nothing but a waste of company time and resources.

Joel, you don't know shit about me. I've been in this the internet/hosting business since you were hiding your veggies in your pockets. You don't know ANYTHING about what I did, or where I came from, before I started at split. And you don't know shit about what I did when I was there.

But since you want to talk about it, thats fine.

I sent my resume on Monster.com to splitinfinity. My phone rang 5 minutes later, it was Chris Jester. I hardly lacked the qualifications required for the position. You want to talk about Chris teaching me everything I know, thats pure bullshit. I ran that support department, ALONE for 4 years. Sure, there were 2 other guys during that time, but they were all worthless. Until Jonathan came along, who was a major help in the hardware department, but as for customer support, server administration .. who was in charge of it all? Until the last year of my stay, Jester was never around, he was never available when you needed him. I'd get the run around much like customers would. I'd be lied to in person, just as if I was another customer. Truth is, I was on my way out that door 2 years before I ever left.. Unfortunately for me, I cared too much about the customers, and didn't want to see them fucked over.

As far as looking for the bigger buck. You have it so wrong dude. I took a PAY CUT, to leave splitinfinity. After 4 years, I took a pay cut just to get away. What does that say?

Jester even asked me to work for him on the side after I moved to a competitor. Several months later, he had Jonathan ask me in person, what it would take for me to come back.. if I wouldn't come back, if I would work on the side.

So what does that say about me, and what I did for Chris. I covered his ass when he needed it.

Joel, let me remind you of the AIM message you sent me a couple days after I left Split. This is when you were still a sales person working off of commission.. wanting to become a tech.
--
Session Start (prodiac:SplitJoelP): Tue May 03 15:04:20 2005
[15:04] SplitJoelP: hey do you think you could help me with somethin real fast?
[15:04] prodiac: what
[15:05] SplitJoelP: chris just gave me a new server and i got it setup, but i was wondering what files i have to edit to add new users and to specify them to a single directory
--

Now Joel, did you figure it out yet? Just what files do you edit to add new users to a server and specify their home directory?

The only person that has to learn everything they know from Jester, is you.

By the way, stop AIM'ing me to beg me to not post a reply to your message, as you don't want it to make the company you represent, look bad.

Note, I was keeping my sig out of this thread out of respect to your company, but your ignorance shows that respect isn't deserved. I proudly display the fact that Phatservers, is who I left splitinfinity for.

Now lets get back on topic and discuss this hacker .. we all know hacker threads can be valuable when filled with important information.

So far we know he is somehow gaining root access through mysql to servers
that he targets which run nats. Nats is not the insecure item. Its mysql I believe. Im going throught the c sources tommorrow and ill let you know what the proggie is actually doing.

One thing you always need to make sure of if that any sniffers they installed are killed or made useless.

I found where his sniffer was creating a lock file and I made my own file there that was not readable or writeable with chattr and that cause his sniffer to segfault thus disclosing its location (error message disclosed path to program).

Well how about this then.

Received: from mail.suavemente.net (mail.suavemente.net [66.11.112.15])

mail.suavemente.net now shows a forward entry of 66.11.112.16, my guess would be the ips are on the same server, or you just change servers after that one got hacked.

Well thanks for that. We appreciate all the evidence you've put forth to convince us of this. I now believe you and will believe anything else you say from this point forward. Everyone, believe what he is saying. Why? Because he says so, that's why!

That's one hell of a mysql exploit. Let me guess, it was something like this:

"INSERT INTO mail.suavemente.net SELECT AWESOMER00TZ0RKIT./dev/k4rd FROM 65.110.62.120 WHERE THIS.THREAD = BULLSHIT;"

Still doesn't explain how your mail server got rooted, or what that has to do with NATS or why NATS would be running on your mail server, but because you say it does, I believe you.

I didn't make you look dumb, you do a fine job of that on your own.

MySQL has seen many exploits over the years...

one example would be the MySQL UDF Dynamic Library Exploit.

MySQL provides a mechanism by which the default set of functions can be expanded by means of custom written dynamic libraries containing User Defined Functions, or UDFs. If MySQL is installed with root privileges, the UDF mechanism allows an attacker to install and run malicious code as root.

Credit:
The information has been provided by Raptor.
The original article can be found at: http://www.0xdeadbeef.info/exploits/raptor_udf.c

s can be seen from the example usage below, the attack is done by linking the provided code as a dynamic library. If MySQL is installed to run with root privileges, the attacker can then create a UDF which points to his/her malicious code and run it with root privileges.

Usage:
$ id
uid=500(raptor) gid=500(raptor) groups=500(raptor)
$ gcc -g -c raptor_udf.c
$ gcc -g -shared -W1,-soname,raptor_udf.so -o raptor_udf.so raptor_udf.o -lc
$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:

And the list goes on....

So how was the hacker connected to the box once you "moved" it?

I'm sorry, but it seems to me you're just marketing your "supposed" work, while infact you're not sure what you're doing.

The 2 exploits you posted, one is local, needing to be first log'd into mysql (didn't check further), second is remote, but do you even know what it does? Or did you just go to google and typed "remote mysql exploit". Not only is it written in 2003 and patched with version 4.0.15, to exploit this you need the mysql root and remote access for that user to be allowed. Even after that, if the exploit works, you don't have root access, but rather the access of the mysqld user, which still wouldn't allow him to run you sniffer in /dev or /lib.

Please don't think we're all sheep here. There's 10000s of mysql exploits out there, very few are capable of gaining remote root (version specific), and you sure as hell don't know about them since you won't find them on google, where you seem to have found these obsolete codes.

Just the MENTION of those fucks at Sago makes me SHUDDER.

FUCK Sagonet....


I am in Tampa and they begged for my biz.

I spun up ONE server and it was the worst experience I have ever had with a hosting company... Shitty network and shitty support.

My comments are not coming from a Newb.
I am a sysadmin and know my servers and bandwidth.

Run, don't walk if you are hosted at Sagonet.
They are costing you business whether you realize it or not.

Big time agree. They almost cost us our Amazon.com contract ... :error

Just saw this one... All I can say is ouch.

Is this the same thing as the current issue, or something else?
