bandwidth / site

Just a quick note to report that my site is back up. My web host was concerned about the traffic spike, but upon further review they're going to be kind to me. Sorry for the inconvenience to those who wanted to see the video when the site was down.

Re: bandwidth / site

Apparently, I am not the only one wanting to get on to your site. It's timing out for me so would guess that it is mighty popular now. always glad to see popularity but not necessarily for this kind of thing.

Never mind. It just came up for me, so now I must go learn.

does "sp2fucked" imply what it seems to imply?

Re: bandwidth / site

One of the exploits from that site indicated by AV is a MS04-013 exploit (MHTML redirect...)

My computer has not been patched, luckily AV picked it up...

My take on that domain name was that someone was mad because Service Pack 2 effed up their business model - probably using active x controls. So now they using a more evil and malicious mode of attack using these exploits.

It looks as though that site was removed by the provider.

Is sp2fucked shut down or not?

Matrix, notwithstanding the "This site has been posponded due to breaking rules" wording, I think the sp2fucked site is still operational. I'd say the folks running that site have put up this front-page text as a sort of decoy, e.g. to throw us off the track. The actual exploit pages are still in place.

They are tricky little sh!ts, aren't they? I will remember not to take what I see on the surface as the truth.

Thank you Ben!

Re: Is sp2fucked shut down or not?

I think that the index page of the site is shut down or that message is to through people off track. The other parts of the site are still active as far as I know.

Edit- oops sorry, I see Ben already posted about that.
