Today a hacker invaded Packardgoose.com. Result: a guestbook filled with spam and a member with a fake ID. We managed to resolve this. The guest-book
is back to normal and the member IP is banned. So, if you noticed a lot of weird things going on in the site, you know why that is.vivien_o_blivion - 28-3-2006 at 20:45
mmmm...me thinks this could be the work of james--jimmy--jobby or w.e.t.f he's calling himself thesedaysBBP - 28-3-2006 at 22:04
Actually this member was a genuine spammer, posting porn links in the guest book and stuff. His IP-number came from Poland.scallopino - 29-3-2006 at 06:31

Oh, that's atrocious. Who would wanna hurt the goose?DED - 29-3-2006 at 08:45
Dunno who it was. The IP points to Poland indeed. But somebody else can have asked some help on those famous hacker forums.
Actually we have to be glad about this. We're backing up the goose very regular and what concerns the guestbook we,ve putted the back up file in,
with no lose of serious postings. It was a corner of the site we didn't look at and we noticed that there is an admin account for the guestbook
with a password bbp didn't know. Browsing trough the indexes and settings we managed to get the password. A visit to the site of the
guestbookmakers learned that there was a new version with a spam blocker. Off course we installed that right away. And working our way to get it back
on the feet we changed the lay out a bit so it wil be read more easily then before. So we learned a lot about PHP these days, thanks to the hacking
guys.
It brings the site back to normal again. But I can help Bonny as much as I want in keeping this site up technically, the content is worrying me. There
is not a lot I know about Frank Zappa (apart from the hose trick he did in the early seventies). For the discography I "lent" content of the
German Zappa Site but Bonny is not a supporter for "second hand" content. So I hope you all will help to get the facts,biography and so on
back on his feet making this site to the very best fansite on the net.

Please DED, no pointing fingers. You have no evidence of QB interference whatsoever. I already wrongly accused him of deleting the forum, which was
embarrassing.DED - 29-3-2006 at 14:29

You think your guestook was a mess.
You haven't seen the zappa.com guestbook yet
They work with cgi and a custom written program, be glad that you use updated standard material.Puptent - 30-3-2006 at 12:05
You can spoof the ID by using a public proxy server, most of these spammers do to make it more difficult to track them down.vivien_o_blivion - 30-3-2006 at 21:37

Do you reckon it's the same people over and over?BBP - 13-11-2006 at 11:10
Yep... You can tell by the shape of their e-mail address and web-site they link to. What kind of loser is that anyway?BBP - 22-11-2006 at 18:18
Today I finally discovered how to chuck away accounts. So check the member list: we went from 4 to 2 pages.DED - 22-11-2006 at 21:17
