Im very sorry about that mike,
The OP hasn't even made a ticket yet, and I made it clear I will only respond to issues and complaints if they are lodged as a ticket - Accusing me of inaction at this juncture is a little unfair.
The issue you raised was under review, I took a significant amount of my own time to look into that. It was when RabidBat recruited his script-kiddy buddy to attack the server with SQL Injection attempts, and malformed HTTP requests that I pulled the pin, cancelled the investigation and banned you and your fellow faction members which displayed a malicious attitude toward the server.
You keep bringing this up but I have no idea what you're on about. There was no scripting or hacking attempt by any of us and we definitely didn't recruit someone to attack your server. I'd love to see some hard evidence that we were related to something like this, other than some easily forged "chat" quotes or a random article about some hacker getting arrested. Heck while you're at it, I'd love to see the hard evidence that I scripted or exploited the game, which is why I was banned in the first place. Unfortunately however, you guys never seem to have the hard evidence for anything, yet still throw your bans and accusations down anyway.
Ask RabitBat about Halcon / Freak. Trevor posted on his YT about my server, and a user named Halcon.tv posted a reply - something along the lines of "nice SSL vuln, faggot". At that point I checked my Apache logs and saw a lot of activity coming from a halcon.tv address - the SQL injection, et cetera exploit attempts. I found halcon / freaks IRC and asked him about it - and he said his mate RabidBat had mentioned that he was having trouble on my server. I never mentioned Rabid to halcon, he volunteered that info. I documented my version of events here: https://goo.gl/TAot0P
And how do you know that this wasn't some random dude who had come across the video from the forums where Rabid originally posted the video links, or possibly somebody who had it out for you and took the opportunity to attack your server? There is no evidence to say that this was Rabids doing or responsibility. There are a lot of crazy and bored people on the internet that don't really have anything better to do than cause mischief, and if this damaged your server then that sucks, however it wasn't any of our faults so please stop using it as a reason to say that we are bad people.
A pub landlord owns a pub. They pay for it. It is well within there rights to be a dick to there customers and bar them all. But its a bit bad for business isnt it... And it'd turn into a pretty quiet boring pub.
If you read more of the posts below the one I linked, you would see because someone who chose the username "freak" joined my IRC and said "SSL vuln much faggot?" - I run the IRC server he joined, and as such I was privy to the IP address he used to connect with. That IP address resolved to halcon.com.au. I probed that address and discovered an IRC server running. I joined it. Someone named "Freak" was in the default channel. Then I asked them about the SSL vuln, and so forth - and then he asked if it was RabitBat who I had banned.
Well if no one can fight due to their lack of military ships then they're technically keeping the peace? At least I imagine that's Klowns way of thinking.
Firstly, they didn't break in - they were probing it for a way in. As I stated in my post, there was a potential vulnerability in that I was allowing SSLv3 - which could have been a potential problem if someone was able to sniff traffic (unlikely). Freak who had probed my server for vulns probably decided to antagonise me, in an attempt to appear more knowledgeable, by posting in my IRC (in case I didn't see the YT comment I guess). I find it unlikely that when I joined freak's IRC he would pull a random name out of a hat and ask me if it was RabidBat that I had banned.
Wait wait wait so this guy didn't actually harm your server? He informed you of a vulnerability and didn't actually do anything with it? If he was asked to attack your server, why in gods name would he help you increase its security and not act on a weakness?
I'm really growing tired of this. I disabled SSLv3 as a precaution, SO I DID ACT. This is all documented in the posts you obviously HAVE NOT READ. He didn't succeed with any attack because the vuln he found could not be exploited by him.
Keep in mind everything this Freak person mentioned had already been publicly posted on the Mikelands forum, so he could have easily gotten the information he needed off of there.
Okay so why would Freak bother committing a crime that didn't even impact your server? How does anyone benefit from that? The jigsaw pieces aren't fitting together.
