Server got "hacked"

***Antonio*** · **06-15-2012, 02:07 AM**

The server got hacked today, it seems that it was the new popular exploit(by using 'DUFF' server method). Since i now know how it works, i will be adding some extra security just to be safe of those freaks.

I'm now restoring the backup from 7 days ago, the server should be online today.
Sorry about the downtime.

For those wondering about the extra security measures.
I have been talking with the authors of xAuth and PEX plugins, and i got modified version of xAuth that addresses this issue. Also, i will be installing a plugin that locks specific commands for all players(including ops).
Furthermore, most likely a IPLock plugin will be installed, that locks a specified user to an IP. This would be useful for the admins.

It isn't fully tested yet, however i am sure that the author will release it as a new final version soon.

It is important that the knowledge should not be hidden, but rather it should be shared. Because if it is hidden, the world we know of would not exist. - Antonio
