Plagued 4chan - the Internet hate machine

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.

Will the 4chan hack be the end of it?

the leak had DMCAs table. There were many anti-Switch 2 threads on /v/. I want to know if the console companies would actually go as far as to request user info for making slanderous threads. I'm more interested in things like whether consoles or publishers ever contact 4chan. I get nervous when I want to call out corporations for being "woke" or making bad games. What are the chances of that actually happening?
 
And now, for something completely different.

If this is too much, I fully understand why you'd think that.

As someone whose web dev experience is making a hello world.html page once, what is the harm in disabling PDFs and just putting the site back up? To me it seems like the worst case is that someone finds another exploit and they deface everything and call the jannies niggerfaggots, but that is the status quo without having a website up
Because that was just one vulnerability. 4chan's source code has been leaked, so now everyone can just comb through it and find another exploit to get shell access again. Disabling .pdfs doesn't remove the hacker's shell access either. Since these incompetent faggots didn't keep backups, they can't get rid of the hacker without massive data loss or rebuilding the website altogether.
 
Being a 4chan moderator, or janitor, must be the most self-humiliating job ever. You can't put it on a resume. No one respects you. You don't get compensation or any benefits. And if your personal information is leaked all you get is a timid "thank you" from your boss who expects you to keep doing it for free.
Judging by most of the posts on /j/ it seems like a bunch of whiny faggots who keep willingly do the thing that is making them depressed. I have no sympathy for them.

These aren't sweatshop workers in mainland Asia whose only career prospect, the thing that affords them their daily rice, is moderating 4chan. From what we've seen so far, janitor duty is a side-gig for the sort of people who don't belong on 4chan at all. Then the non-rotating positions (moderators) are a tight clique of well-to-do white collar people who survive off the table scraps of Silicon Valley. Swaglord alone is a validate candidate for mocking these people until they buy rope.
 
This summary was very interesting as a social outcast and single dude who is also a weeb and avid traveller and likes to keep fit and hates lefttards more than anything I can honestly say 4chan is my life, it has to come back up.

I AM NEVER GOING TO FUCKING REDDIT!

I've also met heaps of cool people from 4chins too. It's nice not having to hide my power levels amoungst fellow knowers and noticers.
 
the communities aren't compatible. You'd be mixing free speech extremists, mod-fellating sycophants, and lolicons into your userbase. The resulting autoimmune response would cause the craziest shit that's happened on the internet since Usenet
This. Some anons will fit well enough, the diggers and the researchers, and it looks like a lot have already migrated here over the years. but anons need a high threshold of retard sandbox to do what they do best -- AND there's a perfect ratio of good anons-to-retard anons-to-reject anons in order for the retard sandbox to make magic, there's a chance image board culture wont recover.

The logs show cooperation with CSAM agencies primarily. DMCAs and IP theft / NDA disclosures are a meme.

With their underlying OS having exited support life in the last decade, none of their underlying packages will be up to date, meaning more or less anything they process data through using shit like shell_exec and exec is going to be touching dangerously vulnerable stuff. From my looking at it, the current code may have at least 2 other possible high sev vulnerabilities (maybe, maybe not. I've only really glanced at the code), simply because it can be assumed that they pass data to outdated system software.

With the source being known now too, finding vulns is trivial for anyone that does appsec or code review, so unless they audit and damn well ensure that everything is handled 100% securely, they'd continually get fucked week after week until they finally iron everything out under pressure.

Intentionally running shit-assed broken code like that could also have compliance and legal issues re: due dilligence if they just sorta threw back up a knowingly half-fucked codebase. Getting root on their server technically exposes their httpd logs, which leaks IP addresses and other sensitive stuff that they might or might not (honestly don't know off the top of my head) be legally compelled to show due dilligence to protect.
 
I'd scrap everything and deploy a solution from scratch. This would fail due to performance issues.

This is exactly what happened to 8chan

interesting. my thoughts too but i would imagine a site with the hardware in place could manage faster than 60 days even from scratch. where was the bottleneck with 8chan?
