LHC Web site Hacked

SizeableSSonic · 09-12-2008, 09:10 PM

Uh-Oh.

They were apparently one system away from actually taking control of the collider...

Backstaber · 09-12-2008, 09:24 PM

Wow, fucking assholes.

Ah, damnit.

I thought they hacked the content of the website and put random stuff about Half Life - just for the lulz.

As if this thing wasn't dangerous enough (no i'm not against LHC at all, it just has an enormous power output) .. idiots going and hacking into it and fucking with shit that could potentially damage shit and cause a catastrophic failure in which they would all be linked to terrorism because that's how we roll in the US.

One system away?
Are they THAT fucking stupid? If they really have their web server connected to a secure LAN (Or have their secure LAN with an out-side line), they're fucked.

I know I'm a network security guy, but give me a break. You keep your web server on a DMZ and you don't let it touch anything secure directly.

p.s. Doctor Zyo, funny as hell. You got my props.

However, there have been growing concerns about security as remote or wireless access, notebooks and USB sticks offer new possibilities for a virus or worms to enter the network, not to mention hackers and terrorists who might be interested in targeting computers to shutdown the system.

I suspect Willy Wonka security will be implemented.

I think anyone is fucked if they get carried away by a gang of small orange midgets.

This is going to sound really stupid, I'm sure, but I'm curious and I don't mind when I sound stupid on purpose. I do it accidentally a lot anyways!

So... an internet connection is like a two lane highway, upstream and downstream. North and South. Left and - you get the idea.

So couldn't they have it hooked up to the Internet and just have the downstream completely closed off? Data gets out, virii /h4x don't get in.

SizeableSSonic · 09-14-2008, 01:31 AM

I beilive the upstream is needed to send ping/requests for the website.
