Holy shit, I hadn't looked at the code yet but if this is the kind of stuff it's doing, then I'm more surprised that it took this long for the site to get hacked.
most likely it didn't take this long to get hacked, it just took this long to get hacked by a grey hat who would publicly release the info and not just stick a backdoor in it and use it as his own private database of troons and fags to harass
 
/vp/ became shit when the mods decided tostop policing the board and let it become an unholy amalgamation of /fur/ and /l/.
/vp/'s quality fell off a cliff with the Switch games. By that point, it was clear that Game Freak completely lost interest in trying and a significant portion of the userbase left. All that remained were porn spammers and yawnfag baiting any thread that attempted to talk about games released prior to 2016.

A handful. /tg/, /po/, /qst/, /sci/, and /gd/.
Thanks. No wonder I didn't know about this feature since I never went to those boards.

At this point if I ever apply for my country's security clearance I fully expect to be confronted with reams of printouts of my 4shits posts...
 
It's crazy that there were THAT MANY fucking jews on 4chin. I knew there were some, but this is crazy.

This brings up the possibility that 4chan has been hacked before, and no one knows. Is the site even salvageable anymore, or does gookmoot need to get a goon out to nuke the site and start completely fresh?
 
The only thing I’ll ever miss about /pol/ is the Skyking General threads, Just a bunch of schizos listening to encrypted USAF shortwave radio messages and watching plane tracker maps, waiting for the bombs to drop. Shit was comfy,
/nsg/ was also good. Or the occasional "aryan art appreciation thread".
 
I for one had some janitor or moderator inject ban-worthy posts under my IP on blue boards in order to ban me from arguing with their hivemind on a particular NSFW board. I look forward to seeing if that gets unveiled, because I did shamefully use a throwaway email to stop from getting captcha cucked.
I wish the hacker leaked all the ban logs, because I believe we would learn a toooooon from the "private reason" field.

Put a sticky note on his door that says "I know". Nothing else.
Sounds good, easy enough, and not harassment. Realistically, what are the consequences of doxing jannies? Pizza delivery? Dragon dildos? Worst for some (most?) is being exposed for their fetish shit I guess. If they don't react much then I guess that doesn't make them lolcows. Also, it must have been karambit or newton who squashed discussion of Daphne Westbrook, one of the few decent, fun conspiracies from /x/ and /pol/. Also, would any kiwibros point me to a place to discuss conspiracies and /x/ stuff? Is that around here?

it's not really a possibility so much as a certainty. It's happened dozens of times at least. I have screenshots of most of them

/sig/ was very comfy so the tranny jannies deleted it
/sig/ was the only general on /pol/ that had a research paper about it as far as I know. Which is funny because /sig/ always had trouble gaining followers since anons on /pol/ were more interested in wallowing in their own despair than improving their lives. Just goes to show that you had normies terrified on the concept of self improvement among /pol/acks.
 
4chan was horribly mismanaged and security was appalling, but in general parsing PDFs looking for malware is difficult even for websites with proper security, it's an abomination of a format and you can hide all sorts of arbitrary code in it that reader software will happily execute
Malware sure, but this doesn't seem like malware. This sounds like 4chan's code was interpreting PDFs during the upload phase (for boards like /tg/ I suppose) and there was a vulnerability which allowed a payload to be hidden and executed when said PDF was processed.
In this case what they should have done to avoid this is to have outsourced their PDF code to a maintained and secure library (of which I'm sure enough exist) which could properly sanitize the PDF.
I think it comes down to hacky duct taped code, not even necessarily an issue with the PDF format (which is very shit I fully agree).

I suggest running the list of janny emails that end in "gmail.com" through a database of known email addresses associated with feds and university faculty and then further consider the consequences to these individuals
 
Now imagine someone snatches away the handkerchief and shoves a bowl of shit in your face; that's what it felt like going back to 4chan after 8chan got shoah'd around the time of the Christchurch shooting.
I pretty much skipped entirely on using 8chan, thought the whole posturing and "exodus" larping around gamergate was gay and lame so didn't bother, and by the time I thought to check it out it had become a Q psychiatric ward.
I do believe you that it was better between those points honestly.

Dear Anon,
I noticed an over 9000 pages of eulogy to 4chan and I had to join in oldfriends. Here's to 4chan, which was a close friend to me when I came to accept myself as an anti-social teen freak unfit for society. A friend which gave me laughter and shelter from the storm. I started lurking 16 years ago, for all the irrevocable harm it's done me(I read that in his voice) I've been an on/off degenerate, chronic masturbator, once upon a time I had sex with a bonafide human woman, took her out to a fancy restaraunt, and then I permadeleted an entire asian ladyboy stash all for this woman who I thought I loved and that she loved me back. No foolin'. And how did she repay me for this chivalry???

Got everyone I know to call me a fag relentlessly and she won't return my calls. Who would know how much I sacrificed?? Who was there for me? I'll tell you. Retard savants with that irreverent genius which could only be molded by lone wolf spergs, or those normie passing autists who had come back from the outside to share wisdom, often ghastly stories of the hypnoworld. Anonymous brothers who'd beat me up for my folly and pick me up to live again. I've kicked my porn habits and that was a walk in the park compared to my attempts at leaving 4chan (even with its quality dilution over the years). I'll miss those long gone, lifesaving greentexts which never got a screenshot and are fueling the aether to sweeten God's nectar, but today, it is time, time to stand on my own 2 achy atrophied feet and declare independence and pay my due respect. I spit on your grave, with love. R.I.P worldwidewebdotfourchandotorg.

P.S. I like the farms, but I won't lose years of my life while here like I did elsewhere so I think coming to this place is best for me. Maybe I'll clean my room with some of the extra time. I know there is a massive influx of refuganons who will forget their account once chan comes back online because they're so eager to see scat and black cocks on the screen like Christmas lights. But, to me kiwifarms is a retirement vacation home to relax on a couple days per week. I'm a broken retard leaving my cave to climb mountains. Thanks for reading my blogpost. Whatever happens, happens. See ya later, spaceniggers.
