you might want to disable guests from voting in thank you's because there is some noob that is just thanking everything.
I'd do it myself but meh
it's not even in a package setting. mods could change it before.
Just letting you mods know if you guys see this post first :|

Hey... just wondering. How do you get an account on the usbgecko.com/codes site?
And just a comment. I've never had one person give me someone elses code when asking for hacker status. I have ALWAYS made them post it in a support thread and then have moved it over. People would notice more if they saw someone steal credit in public. PLUS it's not too hard to search for the code before giving away mod status.
just my 2 cents.
BTW.... you can get EVERY value you'll ever need from the USB Gecko memdump server which BTW has it's password leaked thanks to a certain number of hacking attempts...
All someone would need is a calculator, a memdump, and a friend to give em an answer on the WiiRD About page and they're in..
You'd never know because the Test is too easy. If I were to make a test like that I'd at least make them not obvious questions that can be figured out by reading the codetype page and a few google searches
For Once I think I agree with Jassim. Personally, I don't think giving out access to a forum with server information would have been a good idea. I realize that it's now on a different server and it's not as deadly as before, but that's the kind of thing that would have been a big loophole only a month ago.
I'm sorry i'm just a bit angry.... not sure why.
I wonder.. according to settings, Guest thank yous are disabled.. even the database verifies it for all users.. seems like some nasty bug in the script.. for the hacker test.. I realize memdumps allow to pass it - do I care? Not really - it is just intended to be an extra instance of checking.. yet people with ramdumps could even do codes and well.. as mentioned.. I prefer people having hacker status who cheated rather than people who stole codes and getting hacker status that way. So in the end make the hack test and steal codes unfortunately still work, however in that case we could tell people, we're sorry because we actually do a basic check. However.. if you search for the totally secure webpage.. then it does not exist.
The test indeed is supposed to be easy.. dead easy to admit the truth. However, looking at beginner codes many of them really only use 04, 02 and 00 codes.. asking a beginner "What's the code type to add assembly to [pointer address]+558" would just scare them out. Besides I already mentioned.. And before with the code system I went the same way with support thread and moving over but that didn't work before and that won't work now anymore.
For access to usbgecko.com/codes - please contact James0x57 for access.
I changed the passwords to the memory dump area.. I realize it was a hole, however, I want to continue that area.. When trying to port codes, there's nothing better than a ramdump.. in my former times of a Gamecube hacker it was often not too easy to get to them and therefore I decided to go for a central upload area. I admit.. when it was created the forums were still at usbgecko.com - when moving them to my server, I simply forgot about it.. and left it open with all accesses enabled.. including script upload.. right now, even though it's at another server, script upload works, but script execution is impossible. Which I admit, should have been done in the first place.
Why didn't I do? Who'd expect it.. I ran hundreds of forums.. and even the beloved vBulletin forum Nuke used is pretty to easy to hack, there are several known holes. And that applies to 99% of all forums in the world.. even webpages which are 100% accessible to only their administrator are hackable.. notice how often microsoft.com was hacked in the past. Just I seriously do not care on how people hacked.. what I wonder is: why? What did attract them.. was it the anti cheating club? Or as all people were telling people who felt offending for maybe stealing their codes. I ignore if the codes were stolen or not.. it was just people guessed they were - and if that's reason enough.
Personally I am fed up to even say the least.. so if it happens again.. download to database.. download to forum files.. PUBLIC.. and locked.. if people want to do lame copies.. okay! It's just that I didn't want the codes to disappear.
