How to fix it:

In register.php, look for this ...

if($action=='register'){

... and change $action to $_POST[action], to make it specify that the "action" variable is coming from the register form and not the URL Sure, it's still possible to just go in the Register page and flood there by registering the normal way, but at least it'd be slower and more time consuming ...


Of course, that'd have to be done on every AcmlmBoard he decides to flood, and whatever flood did get done must be cleaned up (should be easy, just a DELETE query)

Thanks, Acmlm. *FreeDOS adds to his board.

Janus: GameFAQs: There are approximately 4028 registered users currently using the message boards.

They're legimate, but unfortunately 80% of them are stupid.

Yeah, it looks like someone was able to stop it -- but not before the number of users climbed to 5,506 -- and the highest number of users online at once was over 900.

the highest number of online users I saw was 1051

Glad to see Silver X disabled register.php, though.

This guy must be totally gay, but seriously it could be someone who posts here reguarly, or just a stupid ch00b who got banned lol. It also helps to remind us exactly how important security is especially to boards with large amounts of users and activity.

Well seems kinda like spam, but anyways to me a ch00b is some retarded newb flammer. Basically a rank lower than a n00b.
