Around SBN: Full Coverage of 2012 Coke 600

Screenshot2012-01-27at95413am

Anonymous had initiated #OpUFC and has hacked the UFC site again. Since posting Dana White's personal info (not linking to it in accordance with BE policy), they've begun uploading files taken from the website to the internet and now they're defacing the site again.

also worth noting that

#OpUFC is trending worldwide. It was the second most trending phrase in the united states for quite a while tonight.

I bet dana doesn’t ask them to do it again tomorrow. Everyone needs to eat a little humble pie every now and then.

not condoning or condemning anons actions.

and on really romantic evenings of self, I go salsa dancing with my confusion.

considering their most crucial fight card ever is in 36 hours this may turn out to be a great hand fate has dealt the ufc.

This whole situation has been like watching a couple of three year olds argue. Neither side is right, and now both sides look like morons.

You may like Diaz, but Brock actually won a title that mattered.

It’s important to note that this hack is pretty lame. “Injections” simply means if you search for a html string (such as the one to the anon image) and the search results reads the html and displays it like so. That is, no one will ever see it unless they follow anonymous specific link. Making a video boasting of something this harmless will prob only make DW more confident that they can’t actually do anything to really hurt him – why should he even care about this? The sites are running as normal

Mcloviiiiin!!

thinking the same thing, even though I don’t know shit about hacking, so far it seems they can’t actually do anything but mess with there websit, its not like he shut them down for days on end buy putting some advanced virus/bot into there systems,etc. It makes me think anonymous at most is a low to mid level hacker ???

zuffa should pay some more advanced hacker ? look what happend to to Kevin Mitnick when he messed with Tsutomu Shimomura

they can usually take a site down by overloading their servers (Ddos attack), which if you have the right program is easy to do (I guess the hard part is making sure you don’t get caught). This however is nothing, no one would ever see it except for the hacker himself if it wasn’t for that screenshot. This image only exists on this extremely long and specific url (you can see the image link in the url itself which is exactly why they call it "injection). Unless you type in exactly that in your browser you won’t see my “hack” so it’s nothing that will affect any other user. But the screenshot makes it look like they “took over” ufc.tv which never happened.

But for sure, there are some of them that are the real deal and the guy who did this may be capable of doing other things, but this is all smoke & mirrors for the media (which I guess is pretty smart)

Mcloviiiiin!!

Nope

It’s an XSS injection. Basically, you submit a query that gets repeated on the results page, but those with injection vulnarability will read everything as normal, meaning if you query a code snippet that code snippet will be processed as part of the code of the results page (meaning you essentially control what code will be on the results page). As you see with the link I posted, you can get it to display whatever image you want, but that doesn’t mean other users see it. A redirect other users do see, but this post isn’t about a redirect – you can see “search results for” in the screenshot. Like with my Chael Sonnen “hack” no one will see it unless they go to that extremely specific url, so it’s pretty pointless unless you take a screenshot and trick people into thinking you’ve taken over the entire website. Used to be super common for link spam though.

Mcloviiiiin!!
