tayyar.org hack

around 8pm tayyar.org got defaced for some time and then it was all chaos, between defaced and not so normal site.
now it's back up and running
here are some screenshots taken by a freind of mine

admin edit: to whom it may concern, nor Padre or LebGeeks is responsible for the act represented in the following picture.

Re: tayyar.org hack

well Padre.. u did it again  ...

There was also a DOS on the site

well regardless of political opinion
I believe that this kind of stuff conflicts with the values of the ppl doin it
ano. there should be respect w democracy and those kind of values
and defacing kinda conflicts with the above values
and really.. no one can shut anyone up in leb

anyway..maybe they should have put some kind of message on the site.. or add a pop up or something
not a complete deface

Re: tayyar.org hack

Am I a predictor or what? While i was on the site at ~4PM yesterday, I noticed a database error and figured something is messing up with their web site. At first I thought it might be database overload because of the high-traffic the site is getting. But soon after I realized something was wrong..

Looks like zone-h didn't mirror it! Oh well.. too bad.
Oh and, I don't want this conversation to turn into politics.

Re: tayyar.org hack

It wasn't a DoS but if it were, I think it would be attackted by hundreds (thousands?) of zombies rather than a single computer doing it. That is, if he (or they?) did not use a vuln that leads to a DoS attack.

Re: tayyar.org hack

hide IP : 212.138.64.144

the proof he has lot of ram is that he is using 4 ie7 windows
media player

that means he has lot lots lots of ram to be able to run those
and since he never considered alternatives.. than.. it makes u think so

Re: tayyar.org hack

teh hide IP: 212.138.64.144:80 is a saudi proxy if i'm not wrong.

and the 4 IE7 windows are 4 different windows, not tabs, so each one could even contain more than 1 tab

Padre, i was establishing the link between battikh's reply and the one Mir made :)

There was also a DOS on the site

seems it has plenty of ram.

===>

I think it was a DDoS by hundreds (thousands?) of zombies rather than a single computer doing it.

Re: tayyar.org hack

tayyeb, now we know that the guy:
-uses win XP
-has a toshiba laptop
-should have at least 1GB of ram
-uses a proxy in saudi arabia
-uses firefox and IE7
-have a 1440x900 screen resolution (using an external LCD screen? a docking station?)
-chats a lot
-uses google web accelerator

but still 1 problem:
if the defacement happenned on thursday at 19:00 beirut time (depending on tayyar's site), how come it's still wednesday 3ando? is he a person comming from a parallel universe?

Re: tayyar.org hack

i did, but it makes more than the maximum.
eno on his computer: wednesday 12:57pm
attack on tayyar's site: thursday 19:00pm
wich makes a difference of 30h and (la 7add 3elmeh) there is not a GMT-28
i'm still on my first deduction, he lives in a parallel universe

Re: tayyar.org hack

ok then maybe the page was opened, and then screen shots were taken later :)
or the date was modified.
anyway, i dont think that the guy that sent the pic , is the one that hacked the site

Re: tayyar.org hack

Maybe the date and time properties are just wrong,because I visited the site at 21:06 and it was still hacked.

Re: tayyar.org hack

yeah probably.
anyway, i would be interested to know how this was done. scince im sure lots of ppl were trying to deface the site and it must be pretty secure. so let's come up with "how-to" for this one. any ideas ?

Re: tayyar.org hack

Sure Padre :)

Notice the ad for sleep comfort? i'd say the attacker injected the new page using an sql injection vulnerability..

or, another scenario, a little bit more complicated:

attacker knowns the webmaster is using a known cms,  he discovered a cross site scripting vuln, sent him a poisoned URI that automagically replaces the homepage's content with his. But as I said, it's a bit more complex and requires knowledge of the underlying system tayyar is using. So I doubt someone took the time to do it for something IMHO, a bit stupid (since a defacement brings nothing of value).

Re: tayyar.org hack

here's the server config:

Apache/1.3.37 (Unix)
mod_auth_passthrough/1.8
mod_log_bytes/1.2
mod_bwlimited/1.4
PHP/4.4.4
FrontPage/5.0.2.2635.SR1.2
mod_ssl/2.8.28
OpenSSL/0.9.7a

openSSL seems outdated, but it seems most of the vulns are for DoS/Crashing purposes.
I didn't check the other stuff, maybe later..

btw, the guy that is hosting their web site is on my MSN contact list, i'll try to contact him for further investigation :)

Re: tayyar.org hack

yeah please do :)
as for their CMS, they built it. i dont think they are using any premaid cms as i can't see any know CMS signature in the code, but maybe im wrong.
as for the injection, it is possible. well i guess the most plausible. but from what i checked, it's kinda hard to inject smth into their code. duno, but maybe it's just me.

Re: tayyar.org hack

you can also tell from the picture that he had a headache and that he was abused as a child

but one thing puzzles me though... where did he hide his pointer ? i'm tempted to consider top right ... what do you guys think ?
