phpBB sites hacked.

Hello:

The phpBB sites are hacked. If you search for "HACKED BY CYBER-ATTACK"
on msn.com you will get a list of all the sites hacked.

Anyone knows what is the way to clean this up ?

Thanks.

This seems to be turning into an annual event. Try searching for "this site
is defaced" and see all the sites that got hit last year.

Don't use phpBB.

Hey folks... I have a standalone phpBB forums and just recently installed PHPNuke on my website. I know phpnuke comes with it's own version of phpBB. How can I make it possible for members who register through phpnuke to automatically be register with my standalone phpBB? If this is not possible, how can I transport my standalone phpbb to the one that is included with PHPNuke? (I've visited both phpbb forums and phpnuke forums and...

Well the title might be a bit misleading: Some time ago I was trying to reverse engineer the authentification system in phpBB because I was building a community site in which there was a phpBB Forum integrated as central component. The idea was to give the users the possibility to log in once and then move on the entire site without having to bother about login again. It didn't go very well, I was able to use the login data and some other...

I am trying to installing phpbb 2 on Windows XP to host a very lightly used BB, with the main objective of trying to install the phpBB, web server and such. I am using Windows because I don't have a spare machine to install Linux. I am using these components: Apache 2.0.50 php 5.0.1

About a year ago I obtained a username in the forums at http://www.phpbb.com in order to discuss a peeve about phpBB - it's search function. I posted a forum entry questioning the value of the two search context choices: "Search message text only" and "Search topic title and message text". Is this not brain dead? I used the example of the very topic of the "search"

I've recently seen a phpbb forum hacked. The hacker removed all accounts, formed only one admin acc under his control and removed all articles. How did he do that, anyway? And how can I protect my forums? I presume programers of phpBB took care of SQL injection and such well known attacks... so, what can I do as forum admin and (relatively) skilled PHP/MySQL programer to make sure something like that doesn't happen to my forum? (ofcourse,...

Please does someone know whether a tool that I look for exists and where? I need some PHP script that would transform phpBB codes to valid XHTML. phpBB codes are the metatags used to format posts to phpBB-powered forums, like the one at http://www.winlyrics.com . I started writing my own parser, but still I would rather use some more tested code. Thanks, Ondra

Hi, Is it possible to configure phpBB to display threads "newsgroup style"? What I mean by this is to show replies to the top level post indented in a tree structure. One thing I cannot stand about phpBB is that all replies to a top-level topic are in a long train. You never know if somebody is replying to the person before him or the original poster, etc. If not, does anybody know another open source forum tool that does this,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
