That's called externally abbuse register.php with some stupid script; one of the many reasons I added a more secure register process on my board. Acmlm Board's register page is way too 'soft', not only because it's easy to launch scripts at it like that, but banned members can re-register oh so easily.

And don't give me shit like "There's an IP ban feature", we all know that works like crap ever since these morons found out what proxies are.

It's true. Any half ass can find ways around an IP ban...

If I got off my ass and actually looked at it...I probably could find more than one way around it.

The thing with DESnet is that I was online while the person was doing this scripting thing. So I was able to stop it immediately. Only some 50 accounts registered.


How exactly is this bug being exploited, and how does one fix it?

Weasel, all you need to do is make a register page with some simple checks.

There's a lot of ways to stop a multi-registry script like this. A simple sollution is to add a random number/text string in the bottom which the user needs to type exactly in a text box.

Another sollution, which also proves effective against re-registering halfasses (and I can tell, since I've been using this method at my boards for a long time now, even had it on my Acmlm Board long ago), is to add other checks to the register page, such as:

Checking if the IP addres is found in the DB.
Forcing the user to enter an email address to which a confirmation email is sent (and do this when the user wants to change the email address later, too). Because I was most bothered by AOL lamers long ago, I added some checks that AOL users needed to enter their @AOL.com email address.

And then of course, there's the little checks making sure email addresses are correct, as in containing an '@' and '.'.

I don't understand. You mean mean
if( $_POST['action'] == "register") ?
I don't quite follow what you mean...


I understand what Tuvai said That makes a lot more sense.

The $_POST thing basically stops people using links to say, posts PMs to me

And getting AOL users to use their address, clever :o

I don't know PHP, ask Ace about the POST thing, all I know is that's his method of solving the URL registering.

Someone on AIM has been sending me links telling me what they're doing to TEK... THat'd be Knuck.

However, it was mainly a link to someone's profile [Admins: The only person who sent me a PM so far] which contains a link to a HTML file. in the mini/ava and layout possibly.

Have fun.

$_POST is simply an array containing all the POST variables (things submitted through a form) ... there's also $_GET for GET variables (sent in the URL), $_COOKIE for cookies, and a few more like that ...

Using $_POST instead of just the variable name alone prevents it to be gotten from anything else than POST, so you can't pass it as GET (in the URL)

Yup, she just got permabanned.

Sorry for having our users... well... end up flooding your board with new users accidentally.

Did you all notice that if you view her bio you still register 5 accounts on TEK Hacks?

You know, this prooves what I've been saying all along. Some rules can be broken. If not, then technically, most of us should be permabanned from Tek Hacks. A rule is a rule...rrrright? >=D

Extinuating circumstances I say.

As I just said, it was wiped. I'm going to bed soon, but if she re-regs and I notice tomorrow, I'll take care of it.
