"The Master" is definitely from Gallifrey...

I have it on very good authority.

He's a Persian prince from Gallifrey.

[Francko]

Gallifrey? Not according to wendingo and the administrator aka sasguru.

What's Wendingo? A cross between Wendy and a Mandingo?

He's from Gallifrey.

Isn't that in Ireland?

[spongebob]

Careful - I'm watching you, SpongeBob. Don't you know the Master is well hacked off?

Do you mean the Persian prince? That wasn't me who defaced his avatar.

[TheMonkey]

Rant away... it gives us all a laugh... and the clown buggered off.

[TheMonkey]

Apologies for the rant - those clueless bastards do my head in.

[sasguru]

Monkey, you've saved the day. I hope administrator AKA sasguru is grateful.

On a different note, well done you simian thingy ...

[kramer]

Good work monkey....

What exactly is a port, other than a parking lot for ships?

Thanks,

Port is a fine drink to be savoured with the finest Havana have to offer.

Can't believe someone has not already hacked this url. 6 ports open. Almost too easy.

I would almost feel guilty for defacing this site. Admin learn quickly or become a techie.

Advice. Close ports

21
22
25
53
80
443

Or just filter them. Do it speedo or brain dead consultants are going to pushing their monitors confused and powerless, in the morning.

I knew this site would not be secure, but to have port 53 is just asking to be ass raped.

I love wannabe hackers. So full of clue and grace.

1. URL is a service-specific piece of terminology. A machine doesn't have a URL. Services do.

2. Do you know what the services actually are or have you actually ever run a web server other than "OMG I INSTALLED APACHE ON REDHAT - J00 HAX0R?".
21 - FTP-control. Fairly basic hosting thing. Only control is open so firewall is stateful only allowing FTP-data after initiation of control connection. Good job sirs.
22 - SSH - well it's better than leaving telnet on.
25 - SMTP - well how the feck else are you going to get emails?
53 - DNS - perhaps it is a DNS primary or secondary? You need it open to do zone transfers. It's probably secure but I can't be arsed to look. Could probably be locked to an IP but there are other security measures.
80 - HTTP - Well I couldn't post this otherwise could I?
443 - SSL - Quite handy too when you want to encrypt HTTP

3. Just because a port is open, it doesn't mean there is a service (look at xinetd manpage).

4. Just because a service is open, it doesn't mean it's 100% hackable. If this were the case, the internet would be gone.

I therefore hit you with the fuc king clue stick. Now crawl off back down your hole before I hit you a again.

Plus those crap milan and AtW bots.

I like it when people spell my nickname correctly, please continue doing so.

[spongebob]

And I love being able to see all the aliases people use - can't people be happy with just one ID eh Lord Prescott? Nice avatar though so worth the new nick just for that I guess

If everyone were happy with just one ID there would only be about three people on here. Plus those crap milan and AtW bots.
