Designing an unbeatable CAPTCHA

Blindkilla — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 20:03:37 +0000

The CAPTCHA has been around for years, but most designs are still not perfect. In fact most can be defeated with some simple image manipulation and a decent OCR algorithm. For those of you that don’t know, a CAPTCHA is an challenge-response system in which the user is presented with a problem that they must solve in order to verify that they are human and not a spam-bot. There are many popular designs around (reCAPTCHA, Egglue, etc) but the important question is which is the best?

Dreamhost? More like Nightmarehost!

To anyone that hasn't used Dreamhost before, they are not the greatest host on the net. There are regular down times on their servers, and if the server is up then it's going slow so you're contacting support at least once or twice a week. However, this new incident with Dreamhost takes the cake. Here is a direct quote from their status blog.

We had to take this machine offline while we investigated the source of widespread website defacement. Fortunately we were able to determine that the machine was not completely compromised and are now in the process of cleaning up the mess that was made. We apologize for not providing information sooner but due to the sensitive nature of the situation we wanted to complete our investigation before disclosing details.

Update: the vulnerability has been confirmed as fixed (we had actually previously addressed it but this specific machine had become vulnerable after a reboot – the cause of that has been corrected and will not be a cause for concern any longer). We are now in the process of cleaning up and our Abuse team will be contacting customers who were effected.

Security issues much? Looks like everyone's FTP was compromised during an attack where the hacker managed to find an exploit in their servers. How can such a professional company, have such a big big flaw.

The hacker was "NobodyCoder", someone Vorbb has run into before when he hacked our forum using a MyBB exploit. Thankfully he only uploaded index files and didn't really do any damage.

For anybody thinking about trying out Dreamhost, I would strongly advise against it.

Cabal cracking, dead?

Blindkilla — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:51:00 +0000

For those who don't know, a few months back Vorbb created an account cracker for Cabal Online. Until recently it was great, we shared the program with users on various communities to use. It was a great program until recently when ESTsoft got a little smarter and made some security modifications for both Cabal US and EU. The reason why I consider Cabal cracking dead now is because of the following reasons; Cabal EU now requires users to have a secure password, at least one uppercase letter and one symbol (!@#$%^ etc). Not only that, but and account gets locked out after only 5 tries so the chances of successfully logging into an account are basically 0. As for Cabal US, for every 200 invalid login attempts your IP gets blocked from logging into the game for 24 days! Can you believe that? Pretty drastic move for a security flaw that could have easily be avoided with a simple captcha. Nevertheless, I don't think Cabal users are willing to get banned for 24 days.

There is however one last option for Cabal US crackers. It's to use a Cracker that has proxy support. Cohen on our forums has made such a thing, it's a console based program that takes usernames, passwords and proxies in three separate text files. This is a good alternative for those users still looking to crack accounts. This is a free download, to go to this thread click here.
