Hello Moderator(s)

Can you delete my ILM "chips and Gravy C/D thread.

I wasn't paying attention and posted it in the wrong place (evidently)

Cheers.

james (james), Thursday, 22 May 2003 12:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 22 May 2003 12:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

hmmm 8 answers, my most successful post yet. Lets wait for a bit then and see where it takes us.

james (james), Thursday, 22 May 2003 12:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

Um yeah I was going to say that too, or something like it. As far as Mr Noodles' comment goes.

Hi, I just started a thread on ILM entitled "Sasha Frere-Jones and Gerald Marzorati discuss 'Hail to the Thief'" -- which I just discovered is practically identical to one that James Blount started yesterday. Is it worth it to delete or lock mine?

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 18:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

we can lock and link it to the other if your worried about dividing the conversation till both die off. A link to Blounts would be great help.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 18:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

thanks, noodles.

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 18:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 18:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

Side note, we need to update the FAQ on ILM/ILE so it points to this thread or whatever active thread we are using for requests.

are there any moderators posting from a CAN READ ANYTHING environment?

there's someone posting porn to ILM threads, and i'm at work

(IP = 64 246 11 102)

mark s (mark s), Thursday, 5 June 2003 11:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

have they all been done now? Can't find any more. If porn images causing probs use the "hide images" option in your settings -- this makes it easier to mod thread with images in generally

Alan (Alan), Thursday, 5 June 2003 12:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

cool (yes i think they're all sorted for the moment)

As I think one or two people on this board are aware, visiting a link on this thread: Song Poems: RFI turned out to be a disaster for my computer, which was imediately infected by a Backdoor.Apdoor.bIŽm trojan horse (jfhwlsg.exe) and a series of glossalalia trogan proxies (bdyubdh.exe, joaspoi.exe, kmavwic.exe, krvwfgc.exe, lqsgzhl.exe, pwprvrc.exe, rkddqcm.exe, zdcaedn.exe, and zhbxgrn.exe). The immediate effect was inclement irksome pop-up's and other weird things, which lead to me to suspect the content of my computer was being accessed. It took weeks of inevistigation to locate and eventually delete the offending files (and there's still a startup programme hidden on my computer (impotant now, though, I hope)). According to Boclean, who gave me substantial help: 'It's now possible for a "rogue" website to actually embed trojans, worms and/or viruses directly into a web page. In the past, pages that offer seemingly attractive downloads which contain such malware required you to click to start any download to your computer. BUT Now it's become automatic, using features in the Windows operating system known as scripting. These scripts can load programs without you knowing, and then they run immediately. All you have to do is visit the site, without doing anything besides viewing the page'.

The American Song Archives is one such rogue site, so I propose the post where it is linked to should be deleted to save an unsuspecting user of this board time, expense, anxiety in the future. Can you let me know if and when the post is deleted, 'cos I daren't even visit the thread to check (I know this is silly, but if you'd been through what I have!).

For the record, and to illustarte the sheer pernicuousness of that particular trojan, this is the response I got from BoClean, after sending them a copy of the file and the startup log:

'TRULY nasty indeed. The VIRUS which starts the proxy is that jfhwlsg.exe file in question and it's a cutie. What it's DOING is hiding inside Norton's code space AND inside the EXPLORER.EXE program as well. Fortunately, you can stop this nonsense but it takes a little trick.

First step, OPEN an MS-DOS (console) session. LEAVE IT OPEN ...

Now bring up the task manager and STOP EXPLORER.EXE ...

The traybar will vanish (this is why you have the MSDOS session open) ...
this is what you WANT to happen here.

Now go to the MSDOS window, type in EXPLORER and hit return.

This will bring BACK the traybar. Some icons may be missing, but the
programs that were running there will STILL be running, Microsoft doesn't
do a very good "restart" notify and that works in our favor here.

You SHOULD be able to go and delete that file now. Reboot, then clear out
the rest of the trash and unless it's being fed from another program
somewhere (should have been detected by AV) then it should be gone for good
now'.

This worked - the virus left the building (I hope so and verily).

'It's now possible for a "rogue" website to actually embed trojans, worms and/or viruses directly into a web page.

Assuming you use a bug-ridden browser like Internet Explorer, and/or have stupidly low security settings.

Tip for everyone: never ever use IE or Outlook Express. Your computer will be much safer.

MODS, please do NOT delete links to sites on the basis of the above long post

mark s (mark s), Thursday, 5 June 2003 13:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

a suggestion: when we get troll attack using images could there be a button that a moderator could turn off images for all untill the the troll gets bored. Just an idea?

Ed (dali), Thursday, 5 June 2003 13:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

i forgot to check the IP, sorry: has the one up-thread been blocked?

64.246.11.102 has been "banned"

Alan (Alan), Thursday, 5 June 2003 13:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

theres another 16063 addresses on 'Everyone's Internet' though, with it being an ISP, they'll might have a different one on that range next time?

gareth (gareth), Thursday, 5 June 2003 13:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

could you explain a bit more for me -- I'm hard of understanding and I don't have much time to do all this while I'm working. What is "Everyone's Internet"? is the poster on a range 64.246.x.x ? (Also, I'll need to see all the posts details before they're deleted to do anything more than ban a single IP address)

Alan (Alan), Thursday, 5 June 2003 14:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Everyone's Internet" is an ISP that has a lot of addreses in the 64.246.x.x range.

(I happen to know this, cos the company I work for uses them for hosting; therefore we have servers in that address range)

caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 5 June 2003 14:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

They wouldn't be a scottish firm would they?

Ed (dali), Thursday, 5 June 2003 14:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oddly enough, no. They're based in Texas.

Good work Sterling, beating me to the punch.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

i went to go take care of it, but can i say that i'm really thankful i didnt have to?

jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Its appeared on ILE once before the tub girl stuff at that IP address here.

Im at home today so its not such a biggie. But please people, if you post a link to the message itself it can be edited with being viewed directly.
(Just click on the admin link for any message and replace the message id with the one for the offensive post in the URL and you got nothing but html of tubgirl.)

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

Good old gaping anuses, who got that post before I?
Bang Part 2.

Im of half a mind that we keep the post and remove the image so we can keep track of the aliases and the IP addresses being used.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

OK, we have about five or six in a row from the same IP. You'd think they'd show some creativity instead of using old old old (like five or six years) pictures from E/N sites.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

Something incredibly obscene and horrible just happened here-- p2p song/artist mislabeling: a crime against humanity

s1utsky (slutsky), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

Tubgirl's getting 'round, she's on the "I hate sex." thread now too. This is crazy!

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

We been dealing with it all afternoon, same two pics, same IP.
I suggest we add a couple of if statements to the code to stop loading of redcoat.net and goatse.cx servers. More effective then IP banning at the moment perhaps.

I Hate Sex link was deleted.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

(Hopefully I will never ever EVER encounter the phrase "good old gaping anuses" again)
