This is going to hurt.
 

Sorry guys. Most recent unencrypted database backup was from January.

Our (now former) host was hit with a ransomware attack. The Cry36 variant of CryptON has no decrypter available at present, so this is where we stand.

I've spent all day/night getting us to this point. PR is in worse shape, going back to a July 2015 database. My jerky site is completely wiped from a database perspective, but that's fine, as I was done with it anyway.

Thankfully the encryption they used didn't work on zip files, so I had the full most recent site backup of everything but our databases. I've moved to a more secure - and more expensive - host as well as switched us to Centos from our former Windows box. They got in through RDP because the box wasn't patched properly due to the shady cracked version of Windows 2008 Server the host had us on.

This won't happen again. If a decrypter comes out, I'll try to merge restore the past 5 months of data into this instance. For now, this is home. There may be issues as Linux and Windows are two very different things. Please report them as necessary.

Many of you will need to re-register.

Onward and upward.

well...... fuck

Oh man. This does hurt!

Godam all those weeks posted lol

Lol PR's only had 22 posts since 2015.

At least I'm close to being in the green now

Throw some rep this way


@Diode if you need anything let me know, I'm here

I've got the records saved, up to but not including last week.

So much effort has been lost though, for everyone who's competed as well as for those running it!

Ugh!

A decrypter will be out eventually. They managed one for Cry9 and Cry128. This one's just a little more devious as it's multiple layers - AES and RC2.

Only a matter of time.

It's like a reboot for a not so good season lol

Ouch

This is obv work of Russian hackers afraid of Bags/Des 2020

Name change, please LOL.

"Dre" workds or Amen.

Thanks a million.

Cool beans... I think! Considering I studied I.T. basically all I know is how to use Word, Excel and only the most basic basics of Access and Powerpoint! Lol

Linux ftw

yo @Diode is there a way for a user on netcees to back up parts of the site just for our own personal use?? just wondering thanks..

not unless you save a website snapshot of whatever page you're browsing.

Damn....nc hit again.

Damn.

I was wondering why everything looks different.

...what's your move @Innovator?

Nessy clearly did this as punishment

so theres no way to save the network ***he?? cause like im going have millions of pictures for like... what two three posts you know what i mean??

Waiting to see if the data can be recovered if not I guess repost lol

We can still battle. Good for site morale

i kind of like the idea of the league continuing... its wednesday now... so we need verses tomorrow night.. unless anyone need ext... get it up @Innovator.... i'll have a verse prepared by tomorrow night if thats still cool with you...

Was looking forward to ill nik-a vs Schadenfreude

We went back in time.

I told you years ago Apache was much more secure than IIS. And in a virtual machine no less? Shame on you. It's all good, just jokes. But I have worked in hosting in the past. Centos is good.

You're an idiot. It was a WAMP stack on the old box. Apache just runs HTTPD, which it did there. It had absolutely nothing to do with an RDP vuln in Windows 08 that went unpatched and allowed access to the file system. You are (as always) out of your fucking element.

And yes, this forum is run on a VPS - why would anyone pay $60-100/mo for a dedicated server for something as low-impact as our tiny community?

Yeah I'm still down.. I haven't wrote a single word yet or had the time to key anything up. Been dealing w/ crazy thots & work, but I have the time now.

I've been sitting on 12, lemme know whenever you match it boss

right so innovator do i have a battle with maximus this is week 8 im not joking haha here we go if i dont know otherwise i will have a verse with maximus but i dont remember the topic so i dont know ill pick a topic later when i write it but i dont know if maximus is even around but thats who i was battling anyways...

oh and by the way im 0-7 in this league er sumn... with one no show this season.. that is... talking season 7s different... i been trying to run the lines a bit different kind of in a way if you know how triple0 writes in the first place... you get me...

just kidding just kidding i dont have anything... and fill it with what? you feel me... eyo to any of them cats on netcees trying to keep this rap shit alive... where you at my fellow brethren... lol... bretheren.. except i still havent taking the dog out yet... keep it all inside.. please... aawww cant take no joke though can he... lol i never post anything so good for me for being one of those cats who does sign online and write shit about people who are having difficulties with my translation mwhaha and 2triple0 shut the site down and all the threads from the past like night really... it was only a night... haha i think thats what its called... its a link to a bunch of photographs of random people and animals...if you feel me... it was weird... really strange stuff... like shit that like people ilke lars would post about you feel me... i wish i could explain... there he said it again.. haha anyways... keep rap and netcees alive once and for all..

@Sharp

Can u re mod myself and pastor in the AOWL

So I can start to clean up and repost

lol id sacrifice 6 more months of nc history if it would guarantee amen remained as DickNoze for an equal amount of time lolol

also des/bag 20/20 will not be DETERRED BY MINOR RUSSIAN HACKING ATTEMPTS

tbh this thought crossed my mind as soon as he posted ITT w/ dicknoze

one of my greatest accomps along with Gloss

Any chance we can get back the current state of the site at all?

This time travel makes me wanna snort some shit.
