Starcraftmazter Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 The reason I started this thread was because it has a lot of OOC content. If you observe the screenshots posted and the reply; http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=74958 http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=74976 The !@#$%* link in the screenshot is http://!@#$%*.com/a4de44c7f If you download the !@#$%* codebase, http://!@#$%*.com/!@#$%*.php?help=1 Take a look at the show part of !@#$%*.php (line 300), then more importantly function getPost on 320 of !@#$%*.class.php, and down to line 430 in the same file. This clearly shows that any incorrect link will in fact get an in-side error message - example: http://!@#$%*.com/m50e37f7 Other types of links, for examples: http://!@#$%*.com/m50e37f7xxxxxxx will get a 404. You may ask why the heck sometimes you will get an in-site error message, and at other times a 404. The reason you get a 404, is because the php script behind !@#$%* is never executed, instead the request to it is never passed by apache. Some of you who are not familiar with web development may be scratching your heads right now - basically the way sites like !@#$%*, wikipedia and others work in terms of URLs, is using an apache mod called mod_rewrite, which rewrites a url in place and directs the requests for a certain site in a particular way. For example, say I run an image site, where images are stored in the database - but I want to provide hard links for them. I could allow users to access images like so: http://www.site.com/12345.jpg And then direct mod_rewrite to rewrite the url as: http://www.site.com/showimage.php?id=12345 Why is this relevant? Because this is precisely what !@#$%* uses, and this is precisely why you get a 404 on invalid links - ie. links which could never exist. Presumably to save on bandwidth from bogus requests or other reasons, all requests which do not conform to a particular pattern of urls which !@#$%* uses are ignored at the web-server level, before they are passed to PHP. This is the simple code which does it in the default version RewriteEngine on RewriteRule /([a-z0-9]+) /!@#$%*.php?show=$1 Now as I said, the one on www.!@#$%*.com follows patterns, so it could be something like: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule /(d|m|f|)([a-z0-9]+){8} /!@#$%*.php?show=$1 There are several prominent patterns - like for instance, all day-long pastebins begin with a 'd', month-long begin with an 'm', and the forever ones begin with an 'f'. There are many others. Go ahead and try to upload anything to !@#$%* for a day, and see what happens to the URL when it expires. Does it 404 or will you get a !@#$%* site error message? Furthermore, check the first letters of your links. Go ahead and upload 10, 100 pieces of text and see if they change. As you may recall, wF would have you believe that the target list was at this url: http://!@#$%*.com/a4de44c7f which is also a 404. Thus, it is simply impossible that the link in the screenshot could possibly have been valid, as it is never even considered by the script. GG wF.

The AUT Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I'm beginning to feel slightly betrayed here. You guys fell for something similar when Ephie hoodwinked you guys. I suggest you guys do more research into the subject instead of putting it past you to avoid a repeat performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I don't suppose I was the only one who tried to go to the !@#$%* link when it was posted and went "well OK this CB is crap" when it 404ed? Nice research nonetheless. And now the real drama starts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Impero Romano Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Oh, so there's no possible way that the nation who gave it to WF faked it? You better have something to back it up if your standing here and claiming that the damn Viridian Entente faked a screen shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Death II Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) We arent saying you faked the screenie. We have proved that the rogue faked it and you guys fell for it. Edited December 1, 2009 by King Death II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find that in this particular threat, i have not mentioned VE nor made accusations about who faked it. In fact this thread is solely for proving the screenshot and more specifically the link within it, is fake. Defensive much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freedomfight3r Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Starcraftmazter, in your quest to find the truth behind this whole thing, you have earned yourself 1000Internets.
