Whats taking them so long to get back online?

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

It's not easy to upgrade from php5.5 to modern day to say the least. It will take a huge effort definitely since the code was all maintained by the old owner, at least that's what I got out of the video.

If they don't fix the vulnerabilities their site had then putting it back online would just lead to continuous hacks. I'm guessing it's going to be a massive overhall. 4chan was started by a 16 year old in 2003 and really hasn't changed much since then.

I wonder - does this put the other chans and kuns at the same risk of hacking or do they use different code?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The source code leaked is all custom code that hasn't been updated since 2015 and uses functions that have been removed from PHP for being insecure since 2019. The hack supposedly took advantage of PDF uploads not being scanned for embeded code. 4chan uses a program called ghostscript to create thumbnails of uploaded PDFs but the version they use is from 2012 and the hackers likely used a known exploit to get it to run embeded PDF code.

So unless the other websites are also running software from a decade ago, they're probably good.

Ah interesting. Yeah I wasn't sure since they all sorta look the same and wondered if they were forks of each other or something.

Maybe the staff don't want to come back after being doxxed.
