ALi hacked

Watch out...when you go to the website...there is virus...my virus checker just caught it...

 

[MiniMe69]

must be white people...u can tell from the saying "Kill all the japanese"

 

[rickn]

there isnt any virus on that page

Your white people remark is just rude. Chinese don't like Japanese either, so what's your point?

 

[Macro2]

What virus? You can get a virus clicking on a web page? Hummm.
Mac

 

[MiniMe69]

it goes to your temporary internet cache...check it out...mcafee came up and detected it. and yea chinese don't like japanese...but it was probably someone who just watched pearl harbor. as for being rude...don't be so uptight...geez.

 

[Budman]

Real mature.

Must be some 14 year old kid with nothing to do.

I do not see one in the page source of this page, but I have had IE automatically download stuff from webpages. Luckily I use netscape and always get asked when a download starts...

 

[rickn]

MiniME69: InoculateIT found no such virus. I viewed that pages source code, nothing suggests there is a virus. I think your smoking crack

 

[MiniMe69]

it is called linux/ramen.defaced. if i knew how to put a picture here i can show what mcafee caught.

Ramen was a worm that affected redhat machines that would attack vulnerableservices (named I think). If you are a windows user it will not affect you. And I see nothing in my cache (cleaning it just to be sure )

 

[MiniMe69]

why call me a liar?? when i click the page...mcafee comes up that it detected a virus called linux/ramen.defaced. maybe my mcafee is on crack...not me...

 

[MiniMe69]

and i was just giving people a heads up...geez...say one thing and you get hacked to crap here...some people...

 

[n0cmonkey]

<< and i was just giving people a heads up...geez...say one thing and you get hacked to crap here...some people... >>



I explained what ramen was to my knowledge, explained that I saw nothing in my cache (after mentioning that IE CAN download things for you without letting you know) and mentioned I was going to clean my cache just in case. We are not jumping on your case, just letting you know what happened for us.

 

[DarkManX]

looks fine now.

 

[MiniMe69]

sorry n0cmonkey...not you...the other guy...at least you said that the virus macfee saw exists.

 

[bluemax]

Man - I just went into a panic and grabbed my Norton Antivirus 2001 that came with my Chaintech motherboard. Chaintech rocks!
So I'm safe, I guess. Phew.

 

[rickn]

BlueMax: safe from what? There is no virus on that page.

 

[bluemax]

I just saw the message and went into a panic getting Norton in there. Damn that ah heck for scaring us needlessly - unless there's a genuine Linux virus in there!

Can a Linux person confirm?

 

[Macro2]

Well, I'm sitting here with a newly built computer without Antivirus installed yet. I clicked the link. Anyone know a quick check? Running 98SE.

[Dark4ng3l]

well you could always reformat...

As of now, 00:51 GMT (that's 01:51 BST, 20:51 EDT, 17:51 PDT), I swear that that site carries no virus. It looks like the sort of sh*t script kiddies put up when they crack a Linux server box; you can download cracking kits and some r33l 3l1t3 d00dz use them. The Ramen worm used the same techniques to spread itself. Maybe McAfee saw something in the page suggesting the Ramen worm got to the box, but I don't know what it can be if it did. Anyway, right now, there's definitely no virus there.

As with all network software products, Linux has had security flaws. Most that are found are fixed within hours, with packagers/distributors releasing patches within hours; it's only admins who don't keep up to date who risk script kiddies with their cracking kits getting in. Before anyone starts to flame me about Linux, please note that Microsoft's Windows series of operating systems has been through rather more serious security flaws than Linux, and it's only recently that Microsoft has made any effort to respond quickly with patches.
