* ok Mark, at first I thought this was spam but on investigation it turn out to be legitimate college (not university ) work. Basically a college level psychology-esque piece of work realting to social engineering.

What we have here is several usual myspaz type survey questions with a couple of custom ones rolled in, the purpose of which is to guage whether people reveal details about themselves that could be used against them e.g. gaining passswords, if the password was a pets name etc., and a general questions asking computer based expertise to correlate this against how people perceive their IT knowledge and whether they inadvertantly give out potentially revealing information.

Obviously after this explanation this renders the survey results from this site invalid, however it is more important for me to ensure security of user accounts here. Sorry.

Your details led me to a website you've made penetration testing (a pet subject of mine ), While no doubt social engineering does work, I believe a lot more security breaches are weak password related, combined with brute forcing.

It takes very little time to brute force a 5 character dictionary word + 3 number type password. I would suggest you change your website password and mark me down as the first successful security breach

Anyway, good luck with the school project and if you get a copy of Left 4 Dead you should drop by for a game

MonkeyFiend

P.S. A good one for social engineering is to ask people what their pornstar name is (explaining that you make their pornstar name using their street name and their mothers maiden name) - quite a subtle way of getting 2 bits of personal info

1 question i have MonkeyFriend I understand you gained access to the webhost through a weak password which was part of the challenge, but how did you make the raw access logs show monkey-waz-ere-2009 like 10000 times?

I asked my teacher and have looked on the web and everyone reckons this is impossible, how can you access a website without leeving any trace or IP in the logs? Everyone I've asked has said this is impossible?????

I've secured the weakness on the website and have used a complex brute force proof pasword.. you can try and get in again if you want

thx

Mark

I'll reply to this (and take a look at the website) later... when I get some time free

However I just wanted to say

40 Who was your last phone call
some dipshit tryin to ask me questions like these

ok, finally got around to this again.

Your new password: Str0ng.p4ss***2 should indeed be enough to stop people brute forcing it.. better luck next time

*** I've removed these numbers, you really shouldn't use any digits from a home phone number for anything online

Logging in as you/web admin I wouldn't be able to falsify the raw access logs, so try ockhams razer: you know the logs are tampered, you know that it's impossible to login as an admin and tamper them, so in what others ways can they be tampered with?

We're ok for security testing here, but thanks for the offer. Speaking of which, I see you beavering away with a bruteforce on http://sneakymonkeys.com/forums/admin area - so you can stop now, please

As you may know invision uses this admin folder for super admin logins, which is precisely why I removed it and replaced it with a fake login page that has no users/passwords and doesn't go anywhere.

I mean, it doesn't even look legitimate!

It never fails to amuse me when people spend several days running dictionary and bruteforce attacks against this

Anyway, this isn't a hacking tutorial site, so I'll wish you good luck with your projects

but seriously, why try hack a website where you know the admin is incredibly more knowledgeable in the subject then you.

i love it when people do stupid shit like this. it's so funny!!!! is there a way we can get more of this?
what kind of teacher did mark ask? his english teacher?

Sry bout the bruteforse - just wanted to see how the security was here. And to fid077 - no I obviously asked my IT tutor and along with that if you look around google I found whole bunches of people on experts-exchange, ask, answerbag that say it's not possible to adjust raw logs without leaving any trace.

Apart from the logs being tampered with and a crazy song about monkeys in the root.

The only thing I've found from referrers

a user with a custom operating system
a custom browser with a .net version4.8 wtf?
The IP resolved to south america, then resolved to vietnam, then didn't resolve anymore - how the hell can a IP point to different places and then go nowhere?

pfft, that dog won't hunt seigneur.

I notice lots of link-to's from your college, I assume this site has beeen posted on an intranet or something... unfortunately I'm not the IT equivalent of the pied-piper of hamlin, so will no be replying to "haxx0r my mates p00ter, plox" or "teach me everything you know in 24 hours" type posts or emails.

There areplenty of books out there on security, protocols and computing in general. Go read

maybe your in the wrong school. i showed a couple of my teachers this and they say it is simple. maybe u should change your major to nursing or something like that what school do you go too? where is it located?

to be fair it's not that simple......

If this was some spotty linux wannabe that flattened their dell pc and stuck on red hat and apache just to be l33t, then yes... there's probably a lot one could do.

If on the other hand we're talking about a shared linux/apache webhosting service.. same as many you'd rent from around the place. The markdorley user is not a superuser and has no root access. In fact he has no actual real permissions within the server structure. For reference kernel 2.6.24.2dn.am with apache 1.3.41

Assuming I created a site called markdorleycantdowebsites.com and was assigned by the powers ((or scripts) that be a user account called fidoisgay with permissions to write files within the public html or www direcotories

The fidoisgay user is a restricted.

Commonly (unfortunately.. chroot jail ftw!) the owner of the access-logs is root (0) - even if the fidoisgay user ftp'd to their shiny new hosting and went to their access-logs folder they would find a bunch of files with 640 or similar permissions owned by root, (-rw-r------ if you prefer), the group can read em, but only the owner can write to them and I mentioned before the owner is root .

Fidoisgay would not be able to tamper with these files and would logout safe in the knowledge that his access logs are secure and could return to failing at bf2

but isnt that obvious anyway... no webhosting companies in their right minds will give customers root access to logs/apache conf files etc ... or am i wrong?

youd have to go dedicated or whatever for full rw permissions, unless your that 1337 that chmod doesnt apply to you

nope, quite correct.

assuming this is true, which i'm sure it is. you still touch youself at night

it's a dirty job, but someones got to do it

and user is fidoisgay is a secret superuser account that comes with all versions of unix.. it's just a well kept secret

I lol'd pretty hard at that..
Wouldn't be so bad if not for monkey getting so upset about it

I am quite happy to say I have noclue what your all on about

Agreed

I find myself wondering whats wrong with you, Mr. Dorley?

Learning about security is a good thing; but trying to do so by attempting to gain root admin on this site is frankly retarded.

Running linux (especially feisty fawn) does not make one l33t. All the form entries were santised here so there won't be any code injections or whatever the hell you thought you were doing.

Now...

1. Your computers root password is currently set to: markdorkley1, feel free to change this.

2. Once online, don't return here or mail me.. Attempting to hack this website does not make us bestest buddies

3. Get a haircut - stupid fringe; you look like a chav.

k. thx. bye.
