hacks are being pirated!
 

guys, i think there are people pirating hacks off vB.org. i found an XXX site using my post redirection message hack (w/ HackTracker). somebody refresh my memory, though...isn't it against the license agreement to run an XXX board?

<a href="http://www.hololith.com" target="_blank">http://www.hololith.com</a>

there are many sites that distribute VB hacks since some people on VB get the licence to run a FX board and then give out hacks.. there is no way to stop it unless it is your code and you get them on copyright violations.

E-mail piracy@vbulletin.com . Obviously there's a customer out there that's letting a friend leech off the ability to add three usernames to that special form.

i thought of that, but do they really have a way to pinpoint that?

The link I posted +++++ >(

(j/k)

But I knew poeple that use to get hacks from there all the time :\

They have a hack getting request area fro hack on vb.org

Actually - there is nothing in the license agreement against a XXX site using the software. I think you are thinking of the reference to warez type sites...
How do you know it's a 'pirated' copy of your hack? I've installed several of your hacks, but at this point in time I have not made my site URL known here - and I know several other members here who run either private boards, have boards under construction, or just don't desire to share their board location for various reasons. Also, there are also many owners of licenses who don't have the skill set to install hacks themselves, and get third parties to do it for them, and in such a case even if the installer clicked install, the installers site URL may not reflect the URL of the site where the hack was installed.

Finally - if you think the board is an illegal copy, report it to Jelsoft, they swing a lot more weight in dealing with a pirated copy of their software, than you would in dealing with what you believe is an illegally obtained hack you authored.

BTW - looks like yer HackTracker works darn fine, eh!

Take care,

thanks for clearing that up. i was inclined to think it was pirated because the title of the board is "0-Day XXX Passwords"

Really...:)

Settle down filburt1. :) I know what you're thinking... ;)

LOL, I actually did ponder it but those stupid morals...:D

huh?

With a complicated series of exploits it's possible to get admin passhashes if HTML is enabled, and a brute force attack can make the MD5 hash into an actual string.

I've never done it, but I'm sure it's doable :)

...he turns his html off! :nervous:

He or she is reading this thread. :) All he needs to do is look at his server logs, and wonder at the spike in traffic, and trace it back to this thread.

NanoEntity is cool... his distribution of hacks is irresponsible however :D

I can't believe some you morons are actually talking about attempting to crack a site in a public forum [regardless of that sites content]

Bravo

ppffftt that link to site is illegal to distribute the hacks. I registered and found out that one unlicensed member request several hacks (different authors) from vbulletin.org and you complain about members here talk about "attempting to crack a site in a public forum" You gotta go and tell them that it is illegal to distribute the hacks to unlicensed members :rolleyes:

in case if anyone dont believe me.. check the attachment :P

Edit: They even have gforce2k2's comments hack, I heartwholely doubt that gforce2k2 allow them upload his hacks at anywhere beside vb.org...

Show me the post where "morons" are talking about cracking the site. No one even suggested it. Filburt1 pointed out that the forum had HTML turned on, which is a security risk. Most of us are responsible and experienced forum admins who would be very much against forum hacking. At least for myself, I am dead set against any form of forum hacking, which is highly illegal and morally wrong.

OK sure whatever - never try and kid a kidder -

I think I might sign up and provide him with some "code";):D

j/k

I would never do that...

1.) I dont know how;)
2.) I am too paranoid:p

Satan

Anyone has Ravish's URL?

Let's submit http://www.vbulletin.com/contact/piracy.php with his URL like crazy :) :D

um why? Ravish didnt remove vbulletin copyrighted or did I miss something else?

His url is.. http://www.computingtalk.com/

hmmm, i wonder what u were doing looking at XXX sites...

I run HOLOLITH now but I didnt make any of the forums the host is down now I will take them off if it will cause a problem its not as bad as it used to be. There are only been releases of ones they made. or Styles

and I am pretty sure no one send or uploaded the hacks to the server mainly because uploads dont work

Ok...just to clear things up.....

Yes, i run an adult site.

NO, that is not my site.

NO, my site does not allow piracy of ANY type, much less distribution of VB hacks.

NO, my site does not have naked people.

Hope that clears the matter up :P

(sorry, got a few inquiries from some folks who had contacted me in the past and knew i ran an adult oriented VB site, and wanted to put the lid on THAT pot of rumors before they went any further.)

is it illegal to have hacks uploaded the the OWNER uploads? I dont think we were breaking any laws. As to my knowlegde there where no uploads that accually worked

Mystic, it is illegal to provide the hacks to unlicensed members. I can tell at least hald of members are unlicensed. I asked few QQ about it and Xenon confirmed that it is illegal to distribute the hacks outside of vb.org also does anyone ask some owner's permission? I m sure that g-force2k2 didnt not allow anyone to attach his hacks (user's comments, thats one example) outside this vb.org.

hey whoever runs vB.com/.org can you leave my friend Nemisis alone and let him open my site back up WITHOUT hololith under there I had no idea it wasnt licenced and DIDNT make any of the forums you can check the admin logs and match the IP to mine and see it wont be the same Nemisis just wants me off his server and I want you to let him get rid of hololith is that possible? I only hosted Hololith on my account because Nano wanted it back up but no one to run it. SO I asked and he approved but I didnt know it was to be unlicenced. PLEASE e-mail me @ ace_51035_06@yahoo.com I will await a e-mail

@ Mystic Gohan - contact vB.com directly with your request by going here:

http://www.vbulletin.com/members/support.php

they are all pist at me and I didnt know I was doin anything wrong so I dont think they will help me much.

I haven't read all the posts in here, but isn't it obvious hacks are going to be handed about?

A person who pays for vbulletin could be using it for anything, and who says that they're not using it for a warez board (although yes, that is not within the terms of agreement), we all know warez is widespread. Hell, I was looking for some php help the other day on a program called overnet, what came up? vbulletin hacks and vbulletin 2.2.8.

www.overnet.com if you want to report it, but it'll be difficult to trace folks through that program.
