Down Time

[Particle]

Did the version of vBulletin we were on salt and hash passwords or just hash them?

XS may not be as big of a community these days as it once was, but I think we've been fortunate in a way so as to be relieved of a lot of the cruft and left with a better core.

I didn't know there was a xs team, do tell the details

Thanks, Fugger. I came to check things out last week, and though maybe this was the final blow. I was crushed.

I may not post much anymore, or even logon much anymore. But I visit very often to see whats new, and watch the build logs. I was crushed I tell ya!

[LutaWicasa]

Though I never post anymore, I do pop in on occasion to bone up.
Good to see you're back up.

Pleased to see XS back up but .....Where do we now stand on the missing months? are they gone forever or is there hope?

Can you tell I know nothing of this stuff ??

[Ket]

I think if a more recent database could be restored it would of by now but who knows, maybe fugger is still working on something we don't know about.

I recovered newer bare metal backups today, some progress that we may be moving forward.

I will keep digging a bit more, I am trying to restore bare metal backups after deleted partition.

Hey Fugger,

could you please respond to this question posted by Particle,

None of my accounts have ever been compromised, but on the July 22nd I received and email from Twitter stating

"We noticed a recent login attempt from an unusual device or location. "

Now my XS password is not the same as the Twitter password, but does have some common characters, so a straight answer to Particle's question would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advanced for all your hard work!

:-)

Thanks Guv'nor

[madmaxx]

Was wondering what the heck was going on, damn bastards! How many attempts is that now?

Good to be back

[DashTrash]

Glad to see XS back up. Thanks for all the hard effort!

Hey since we went back in time 2 years, can we bring Dave back?

Well Movieman's posts are closer to the top of the forum now...

[chinobino]

Does Google offer their "backup" copy of your website for free?

Google cache has a lot of missing threads, e.g. Splave's ***Official ASRock z170 OC Formula Finger Pop OC Bonanza #UKNOWDAT Edition FTW ETC*** thread.

Thanks for keeping the site going, Charles. I haven't been posting much at all (been busy with real life BS), but I still come here more than enough.
My password is now old, too, so I'm not worried about anyone hacking into anything.

[xpower]

from 2014 till 2016 data is on risk. hope charles manage to bring that back.

[Charles Wirth]

As of right now I have a restore a few months newer, I have already started to update and convert to UTF8, my plan is when its on the same version is to sync the two.

From what I have researched that he "user" table has the salt, I can only assume they took the salt hash since they did pull the user table.

[Sparky]

Is it sea salt or the plain jane table salt?

Either way, I already changed my password.

[Don_Dan]

Thanks for bringing XS back, Charles!

However, I need to take a break, so many of my threads have been lost.

[Shadow_of_1]

Thanks FUGGER for getting the site up and running again.

[Kingcarcas]

Long as I don't lose my crunching points in those 2 years, I'm good
