News about RSC?

Anybody hearing anything? I am going into withdrawl..... Kevin (aka tlgtr) **** Zip slowly, medical statistics show that over 100,000 people are injured annually by their clothing.

Some snippets of info I've seen... >http://www.vbportal.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=63642#post63642A post by Tim Wheatley Well what they did on our site is injected code (for a p*rn dialler and toolbar) into an inline frame on our mainpage. A member of forum staff in Australia then called someone in Denmark, who called our sysadmin and he called our host who then shut the server off until I could find out what it was, so we've decided to keep it off until Monday when out sysadmin gets back from holiday and he can update (I think it better than users don't have a load of crap installed on their PC). Until then I know little more than I've said... Though I would expect vbulletin.com to be back sooner than that and to have more info... Anyway that's what happened with us... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >http://www.net-security.org/vuln.php?id=3257vBulletin PHP Forum Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability Posted on 16 February 2004 Software: vBulletin PHP Forum Version Vendor: Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd http://www.vbulletin.com Versions: 3.0.0 Release Candidate 4 Platforms: Unix/Windows Bug: Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabillity Risk: Low /* Guess it's not that low of a risk after all .... :) */ Exploitation: Remote with browser Date: 24 Jan 2004 Author: Rafel Ivgi, The-Insider e-mail: the_insider a mail.com web: http://theinsider.deep-ice.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >irc://irc.boomtown.net/racesimcentral (2004-02-23 10:41 EET)10:41 < JGent> :) have the problems been fixed now O trollo O forum God :) 10:41 < Trollo> well im sick and they are working on it at work as we speak 10:42 < JGent> ah right, what was the problem if your allowed to tell me 10:42 < Trollo> JGent : i dont know at all all i heard is they are building a new server just for RSC. 10:42 < JGent> I think mathew Gold... something was looking for you trollo, he was a trackmaker for generally 10:43 < JGent> dunno if it was for anything important 10:43 < JGent> I bet the new server is UBER 10:43 < Trollo> okay JGent 10:43 < Trollo> it is uber ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hopefully they're back soon bigger and faster than ever :) Atleast Tim got few days of rest from all the admin stuff, sometimes it seems RSC is he's fullday job, and Kim's and Mikkel's and Phil's and all the other admin's and mod's :) And they do that without pay....... Pitty they only give creditcards in Finland only to people who wouldn't really need "credit"cards... no possiblity of paypalling them a donation... :( TlgtrProd wrote:

I'm having trouble getting a copy of Jim Pearson's "Adelaide 2002 Sprint Circuit" in the lite version, and without RSC it seems to be practically impossible to get the word out, or get in contact with JP or anyone else on his team. Sigh. Chris Noto, see Noto at tee dee ess dot net

Let me be the first to start a wild rumor ;)... Maybe they are upgrading the servers in preparation for a widely anticipated release, hmmm? GPL 65, anyone? Don't really think that's it (what with all the forum changes lately), but I hope I'm right... Kendt

I heard the egos of all the forum moderators finally reached critical mass and caused the entire website to collapse inwards on itself in a catastrophe of celestial proportions. Last I saw Tim Wheatley he was muttering something about XXX toolbars and black holes. He seemed shell shocked. Jason

Nope it's still a few weeks away yet.

GPL 65!?! No offense but if I don't get my daily SCC update fix soon..... Kevin (aka tlgtr) **** Zip slowly, medical statistics show that over 100,000 people are injured annually by their clothing.

See http://www.tptcc.com/board/viewforum.php?f=4 for updates on RSC. It seems that they have to sort a security/attack issue with their host.

It's a pretty big. 25megs for the whole thing (ok maybe not that big for cable users but big enough). Although it will probably also be available in user friendly segments too with the minimum starter pack being 4megs (physics, no sounds, no layouts, no gfx but playable with '67 cars).

Hopefully gpl65 won't cause too much of a problem, remember GTR2002 nearly brought it's hosts to their knees the first few days but RSC still just about handled it ;-) You never realise how much you come to depend on something until it's gone. Malc.
