Macedonia Elite Hackers
My web hoster got hacked last night, not something to be proud of, by Macedonia Elite Hackers. Taking from my post here, they certainly did not cover their tracks:
[start]
Alright, here's my findings:
I'm scared of MySQL
I've been using PHP for a bit over a year and half. It's come to my conclusion, that I've never used MySQL in any of my applications. I think I'm scared of reliance.
I tend to use either a simple flat file (like WorkSimple) or pjjTextBase (Torrentino for example) because they're quite easy to manipulate. I'm not sure why I don't use MySQL, being PHP's soul. Everything you see nowadays for PHP uses MySQL.
None of my applications use MySQL (or anything that is 'modern'). Hell, Sysode, Torrentino and Ticketo (my larger projects) all use PTB. Plus, flat file is faster. Skip the middleman, and write directly to the file system. Additionally, I tend to keep my projects/scripts small.
I'm for sale.
I'm starting to freelance now, so I'm up for any work and make an attempt to build my portfolio. I'm available to do any work, small to medium sized projects. Stuff I can do:
- Code PHP
- Remote adminstration of Linux boxen
- Some MySQL stuff (though I hate it)
- Installl scripts (Wordpress, Drupal, WHMCS, etc..)
- Help with hosters (I know my way around WHM, cPanel, WHM and so forth)
- And probably a lot more useless stuff.
$explode[2]
Finally, school is almost done so maybe I'll have a little more time for my projects and such.
I've been working on Sysode lately, and it's been coming along. It's still very beta, so register if you must.
Me birthday is on the 23rd, and I've been thinking of getting a pi tattoo, maybe shoulder blade or chest somewhere. If not, was thinking about a Blackberry 8330. The G1 is on Rogers and I'm on Bell for the next 2 years....
Anyway, finally get some time off so going to go play ET:QW
Friday
It's finally Friday, been waiting all week. I now have four spare processors, dual Xeon socket 604 processors. It'd be great if I could use them.... Also have some RAM too, 4GB's in total!
Torrentino has been running fine so far, server load has been low. PunBB uses a small amount of CPU usage, Torrentino itself (the system) uses next to nothing. One server for the front end + PHP, another for static content (CSS, images, etc.). I could have another server just for PHP processing, if needed. Well, atleast I'll have the hardware to expand ;)
Ticketto - semi finished
I coded Ticketto in around 5 hours. You can check it out here: http://jroppie.co.cc:45/ticketto/ and try logging in with 'test' and 'test' respectivly. Also, check out the admin panel: http://jroppie.co.cc:45/ticketto/adminby using 'admin' and 'admin' for the username/password.
For those that don't want to check it out, Ticketto is a simple support ticket system. Users/client signs up, picks department and creates a ticket. Admin signs in, answers ticket and set status of ticket to closed, answered, etc. More features are planned ;)
Anyway, if anyone wants the source, just leave a comment.
PHP Support Ticket System
Ticketto (rhymes with Geppetto) is new project I started today; it's based on mail (MailX) so the foundation is already there. A client can create a support ticket in different departments and view the response from staff/admin/whatever. Admins can have seperate departments, so three admins three departments.
The client will also have their own area for other stuff (I'm working on it.)
Anyway, it's Sunday so I'll be watching some TV (if the satelite isn't out still).
Troubles
So, we moved 4Box Hosting to a new server (since it was on the clients server) the other day. The WHMCS SQL DB imported fine. But what else did I miss? The email forwarders. Great. Even the email accounts weren't set up. So for the last couple days we haven't received any emails, only those from from WHMCS cronjobs.
No orders on Nojde either, I wasn't expecting any. I'll have to build some sort of CP where customers can change what jobs they have running, if they need to remove/add more, etc. Right now its based on one single form which is very effecient.
