Server Cracked

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s a f**king script kiddy. Not only because they’re annoying, but because they think it’s funny to trash stuff.
On the other hand, there is an upside to this. I spent the better part of yesterday trailing how they got in and did what they did, and writing scripts to counter it. As far as this attack goes, if it happens again, I literally only have to visit a web page to recover it.
Thanks to everyone for being patient while I repost the majority of my content – I should have an old backup of something around here somewhere. If you remember anything that I miss (especially the links…) please let me know by e-mailing me – nicktabick@gmail.com. And my compliments go out to the dude who did it (thanks for the e-mailed “confession”, buddy, and all those replies – you did a great job of helping me figure out where you live, it’s just a shame I can’t subpoena your backside). (“Great” skills; next time try taking over the box instead of deleting content. The true cracker doesn’t make his presence known unless it needs to be or serves a means to aid.)
And yes, I did just use the politically correct term.
