45 hours without 4chan

>>384117
I checked desuarchive out of curiosity. Every thread that was active when it happened has been dumped to the archive, so if they do bring it back, it's more or less a complete reset.
Guess that's for the best, people were mad at me for this get.

ETA: Few Days

>>384226
I honestly think this is going to kill the site. Anons are getting comfy in their new altchans and when 4chan comes back the cuck timer is going to remind people why those altchans exist in the first place.

>>384226
>a few days
Watch it go down again shortly after. A few days is not enough to fix the internal issues 4chan has.

Something tells me that a lot of staff have quit and no way in hell they're achieving the old staff count when it's still hot news. The few that are remaining will become even worse cunts than before while still doing J-A-C-K-S-H-I-T to counter the shitposting.

rapeape email (real????)
approx 7 hours ago

Hey,

I'm sending this to everyone, just in case there are people who weren't in Discord or IRC, haven't been paying attention to the news, and are completely unaware of the events that have transpired, but are still checking their email. On the afternoon of April 14th, one of our servers was breached. The attacker managed to exfiltrate quite a bit of data before going public with a brief shitposting spree, at which point I became aware of what had happened and shut the servers down. Over the next ~24 hours the hacker released some of the data he had taken.

Relevant to you are that he released mod and janitor usernames, password hashes, email addresses, and the IP address last used to log in. With this information made public, people were able to find additional information from public sources, including major data breaches on other websites, to partially or fully dox some 4chan mods and janitors. Even if you have not been doxxed, please check your email address against https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see if there may be leaks of data from other websites that may be associated with you.

Unfortunately there's no way for us to take this back and undo the harm that you've suffered due to this hack, but you can take steps to mitigate further harm. I'd recommend that everyone change the password of the email account you used when applying to be a janitor, and any other email accounts you have used thereafter in association with 4chan. You should also add two-factor authentication if at all possible, ideally via an authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator or Authy.

I would also recommend using a password manager of some sort, such that you can use strong passwords easily. Keepass or KeepassXC are good examples, but there are other popular password managers such as Bitwarden, 1Password, or those integrated into popular browsers like Firefox. Generate random passwords of at least 16 characters using upper case, lower case, numbers, and symbols. Do not re-use any passwords. If you had used the password associated with your mod or janitor account elsewhere for some other account(s), you should change that password for those other accounts as soon as you can. We will be doing a forced password reset when the site is back up, and 2FA via an authenticator app will be mandatory for both mods and janitors.

Most IPs are dynamic, but if your IP address is static, you can usually just unplug your modem or router overnight to get a new one. Failing that, you should consider calling your ISP to have it changed. In either case, you should also consider using a VPN such as NordVPN, Surfshark, or Private Internet Access (there are plenty of options here).

A lot of you will want to change your login names, discord names, or email addresses. I will contact each of you individually on Discord to discuss these changes, so please wait until I do so. Much easier keep things organized that way, contacting each person in turn rather than having to get blasted with hundreds of emails or Discord messages of people asking to change info.

As for when the site will be back (and it will be back), "We get there when we get there". Obviously we have a lot of work ahead of us with respect to patching holes and updating software, so please bear with us. Maybe catch up on your backlog, watch some anime, play some vidya, and enjoy this extended break from reports and shitposting.

For those of you who have had personal information exposed, I'm sorry this happened. We had bought new servers a few months ago and were working to transfer 4chan's functionality to them as quickly as we could, but obviously we weren't fast enough, and all of you have suffered due to our failure. I know you've placed your trust in us to keep your personal information safe, and we have let you down. I can't undo what happened, but we're going to do everything we can as fast as we can to secure 4chan's servers and codebase, and get the site back online. All I can do is hope that, despite what you've suffered, that you'll continue to help keep this community alive. There's nothing else quite like it on the internet, and without you, there might never be anything like it ever again.

Regardless of your personal decisions in the coming days and weeks, I want to thank you for all the time and effort you've put in to this website and this community. 4chan's users might not show it openly, but I know they appreciate what you do as well. I think they'll appreciate you even more when 4chan returns, as now they've had time to feel 4chan's absence, and absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Odds are the contents of this email will be posted on Sharty and Kiwifarms shortly after I send it, but I don't much care. If they want to make fun of me for appreciating the 4chan Team, they can go right ahead. I think you are all wonderful and I don't care who knows.

I will be in touch with each of you via Discord in the coming days, but if there's something that can't wait, please reach out.

damn that blows but i suppose i was somewhat naive to assume i could just pick up where i left off like last time the site went down
this time is some real shit
read somewhere someone say it would take a couple weeks for them to get the site back on the rails

>>384242
I haven't spent much time looking into it, but the retards apparently went something like a fucking decade without updating their software. I work in IT and I sausage if events conspire to stop us from deploying updates to our systems within 30 days. I suppose bigger things like OS updates are a bit slower and we wait for the vendor to release the first round of patches or two so that we're not the early adopters, but we always have a fucking plan to get everything updated before end of life.

>>384243
feel like in the coming years after its eventual death rattle more will come out about the mismanagement of the site that has led to catastrophic shit like this

>>384262
That's not necessarily from this hack by the way it's just if you have been ever. If you are on it you should change your passwords and stuff though.

>>384263
Fair. I did a complete overhaul wipe of my accounts a couple months ago, and neither my actual accounts nor my sock puppets have any registry

A bump to say we are still here. Hearing unconfirmed reports of the site being up within the week but we shall see. Now onto day 3 of being down.

I honestly don't even miss it anymore.
It's obvious at this point that the slower boards were just 99% jannies posting to flame bait and gaslight people, and the faster boards were 99% corporate/political shills stifling legitimate discussion and 100% of the time I would have otherwise wasted, taking the bait, on the off chance that I was actually having a legitimate conversation with another human being has now been diverted to things I actually enjoy.

>>384355
Yeah, out of all catalogue on /mlp/ I only give a shit about the dozen of threads and participate in 2-5 at any given week.

>>384254
That would only work if Troy Hunt ends up getting ahold of a leaked database so he can add it to HIBP. So far said database doesn't exist and I doubt the hacker would care about selling it.

>>384355
The main reason that I miss 4chan are the general threads on /vg/. As shitty as the general threads were, they were a hell of a lot of better place to actually discuss a game than plebbit or discord.

>>384254
>>384364
>>384190
It's sort of a moot point. Hackers are not trustworthy actors. We know that a data breach has occurred. It is prudent to assume that any lists of email addresses associated with 4chan have been identified, and that any password that you may have used with 4chan has been compromised. If you re-use that password anywhere, then you should go change it as soon as you can.

>>384381
Sure, it doesn't hurt to be safe regardless.

>>384355
I only miss /tg/ for the generals of the games I liked it and it doesn't look like they moved to any splinter.

>>384401
/vx/ has rpgs here.

>>384381
In general I sincerely believe that if you're not using a password manager in this day and age, you deserve to be hacked anyway. Just download keepass it's that easy

>>384401
>>384403
This. /vx/ is expressly for TTRPGs, (pno-pony) Video games, and /X/ content. It's only been used by a handful of anons for years, so feel free to make yourself comfortable

i refuse to trust digital password managers because it just feels like putting all of your eggs in one basket
all it takes is one one zero day exploit and it's game over
either memorize your passwords or if you absolutely must record them then write them on a sheet of paper and stash it in a safe or some other secured location because paper can't be hacked [yet]

>>384415
The thing is good password managers (for example: keepass = good, lastpass = bad) don't connect to the internet and the only thing that can be "hacked" is the encrypted database file, assuming you sync it between devices and put it in backups and stuff. But the encryption is normally very standard stuff that is almost impossible to get wrong unless you're a moron.

So the only way for the password manager to get exploited is if you get a virus on your computer and it tries to attack the manager. But if that happens it's game over anyway. A keylogger is vastly simpler than a secret 0-day and will slurp up all your passwords just the same.

>>384413
>>384403
I meant with my old homies from /gurpsgen/ and /mtg/ who probably aren't into ponies

>>384415
>>384419
Here's my take for it. For anything TRULY important, such as the passwords for online banking/stock broker/etc, use a unique strong password and record it in duplicate on pen and paper and store them in a secure place like a safe or safe deposit box. It is a hassle storing them this way, but you shouldn't have too many accounts that fall into this category. I think a paper copy should be recorded so that close family can access the assorted banking accounts in the event of your death, or so that you can remember the password in the event that you are injured in a way that impairs your memory.

Furthermore you should have a dedicated computer for interacting with these critical accounts. A simple laptop or something should do. This banking computer should only have essential software installed on it and you should exclusively use it for banking tasks. No games, no recreational web browsing, etc. Just the barebones of what is needed for any interaction between your banking or investment accounts.

Then, on your recreational PC, use a password manager like keepass for everything else.

I bet you're one of those sites that have inane password requirements that make it impossible to generate

>you must include a letter, a number, and at least one of these special characters
>but those special characters are invalid for some reason
>yeah have fun setting the custom character set in your generator just for my website!

>>384465
>inane password requirements
Not particularly. Minimum of 8 alphanumeric characters, maximum of 64, 90 day lifespan, MFA is required. Fairly basic stuff, if a user can't create a password longer than 8 characters they'll be given a password. Service accounts have a minimum bit entropy of 128 with additional security measures.

>>384470
He does have a point. Most of those have no relation to how strong a password is. They just make them harder for you to remember.

>>384449
>No one can hack/datamine a spiral-bound notebook
But like anon said, a keylogger can compromise the password as you use it. That's why I think it is critical to have a separate computer dedicated for any kind of online banking that you may partake in. That way you can minimize potential exposure to software vulnerabilities and malware.

>>384472

I'm surprised people aren't more concerned with microsofts telemetry habits, or the incoming Recall feature.

>>384474
Yes that's what I mean. Numbers and special characters don't faze a computer. They're only a problem for meatbags.

>>384474
>I'm surprised people aren't more concerned with microsofts telemetry habits, or the incoming Recall feature.
People won't care until it, inevitably, blows up on microsoft in some huge way. Right now my banking PC uses windows out of convenience, but I'm probably going to transition to linux in the nearish future for it. My recreational PC is probably going to be stuck using windows 11 due to a mix of software compatibility for windows and my opinion that persisting on OS that is beyond EOL is a greater problem than dealing with 11's warts.

>>384475
>Yes that's what I mean. Numbers and special characters don't faze a computer
Here's the thing. It's not what computers are capable of doing, it's what the hackers instruct the computers to attempt. Including numbers and special characters within the character set used to brute force passwords does increase the amount of effort that a computer needs to check the possible combinations by an appreciable margin. They're usually not trying to hack you in particular. They just want to steal as many accounts as possible as quickly as possible because they're racing two clocks. The first clock is that the user might change their password in response to hearing about the data breach. The second clock is that a third party hacker who also bought a copy of the data from the data breach might hack the passwords first and steal the accounts before he can. A computer might not care about running through all of the permutations of numbers and special characters to brute force a password, but the hacker behind that computer sure fucking does because the expanded character set will slow down his brute forcing relative to the hackers who don't include the special characters. Consequently his more comprehensive cracking attempt is likely to lose the race to compromise the legions of shitty weak passwords.

tl;dr, this is sort of like that saying about encountering a grizzly bear while hiking in a group in the woods. You don't need to outrun the grizzly bear, you just need to outrun the slower people in the group. It's not about making your passwords uncrackable, it's about not being the low hanging fruit. The hackers are all chasing the low hanging fruit because weak passwords are everywhere and it is more profitable to pursue them.

>>384470
>maximum of 64
Why? Even bcrypt takes up to 72. Argon2 and others can take much longer passwords. This is important to allow long passphrases.
>90 day lifespan
Also why? The only way for a user to comply with this is using a password manager, but if they use one they can generate a good enough password that brute forcing it would take 90 millenia, rather than 90 days. The rotation then just forces extra annoyance in having to go through the change procedure. And for anyone not using a manager it just leads to busywork e.g. having an incrementing number at the end of the password they increase every time, giving basically no extra security.

>>384474
>Unsurprisingly Accounts and HR are always lacking
Imho mandating a company-wide cloud password manager is probably a decent compromise. Yes >cloud but it's for a company. For example 1password I've seen used in some pretty security-conscious places. Then you just mandate that 1password is used for logins, and must also be used for password generation, and assuming HR karens are able to follow the most basic of instructions they shouldn't have any more issues with bad passwords.

>>384473
MFA is pretty good against keyloggers honestly. I'm not too worried about any of my accounts I have MFA on.
Hardware (U2F) where possible, but even TOTP makes it vastly harder to hijack even with full keylogger access. (Honestly it'd be easier to bundle the keylogger with a cookie stealer and hijack your session in most cases.)

>>384084

>MFA is pretty good against keyloggers honestly. I'm not too worried about any of my accounts I have MFA on.
Oh definitely. I didn't cover multi-factor authentication. I hope I didn't come off as inferring that it shouldn't be used. MFA should be used wherever possible. I just think that a standalone banking computer is a prudent extra step to help segregate work and play. I don't think that recreational computers can be assumed to be fully secure. But when it comes to protecting your retirement nest egg, I think that a 2nd computer used exclusively for banking is a reasonable extra safeguard that is more likely to be secure than a recreational computer. Granted nation state level actors probably still have backdoors into everything at a hardware level, but Uncle Sam probably isn't intending to steal your money via password cracking when it is so much easier for him to do that via inflation.

>Also why? The only way for a user to comply with this is using a password manager, but if they use one they can generate a good enough password that brute forcing it would take 90 millenia, rather than 90 days. The rotation then just forces extra annoyance in having to go through the change procedure
The problem is assuming that it will take 90 millenia to crack the password. That may be true today, but that isn't necessarily true for tomorrow. Advancements in mathematics or computational capabilities might identify flaws in the encryption algorithm or vastly improve our ability to perform calculations faster. Password expiration places additional strain on the attacker. Now simply being able to crack the password isn't good enough. They are now on a strict deadline to crack the password before it expires. This makes things more complicated and more expensive for an attacker.

That completely doesn't answer "why".

>Not a configured option. No new password can be related to any previously used ones.
Assuming you're doing it by storing hashes of related passwords, any metric of "related" you use will be limited in some way and users will find some workaround that does let them use a related one. You cannot possibly pre-empt every possible mutation scheme an annoyed user that's being forced to change his password every three months will come up with.

>And I immediately stomped my foot down at that suggestion because it's fucking retarded.
Elaborate.

>>384493
>The problem is assuming that it will take 90 millenia to crack the password
There are certain realistic limits on computation to where around 200 bits or so of entropy, it starts becoming likely that a universe-sized computer operating at maximum theoretical efficiency would not be able to crack it before heat death. Now this does hinge on the definition of maximum theoretical efficiency but, while I don't remember the exact assumption, it was something pretty ridiculous and I think it's safe to say that we're not getting anywhere close to breaking that limit on a universe-sized computer any time soon.

And another thing is that even if one day it does become possible, it's pretty certain that it won't be within the next 90 days. Unless suddenly google announces Quantum Password Cracker 9000 available for commercial purchase out of fucking nowhere, but if that happens, you can just force a password expiry for all users at that exact point. And up till then, passwords that took 90 millenia to crack last quarter will still take just as much by next quarter, and there's no need to reset.

Besides, quantum computers are not a panacea and it's completely unclear whether they'll ever be useful for more than just a pretty limited set of algorithms. Maybe they will, but theoretical quantum algorithms have been under research for decades (completely independently from the engineering progress, since the algorithms are again purely theoretical) and we still aren't anywhere near any sort of general quantum computing model. So if you really want to be anal, use a quantum resistant hash, which as far as I can tell currently most good hashes basically are. And again, if a new paper comes out called New Quantum Algorithm That Completely Breaks SHA Family Hashes or something, then you a) update your backend to use a different hash and b) force-reset everyone's passwords.
Or just fucking wait because nobody has a working useful quantum computer yet and might not have any for decades. None of this warrants resetting every 90 days.

The jannies switched to discord because they couldn't figure out IRC.

>>384502
I always wondered: how do you use Rizon? All I saw was #4chan.
Do you need a password? An IP? I never understood how people used that as a chatroom. I tried, but I never get it.

Watch out for a site being shilled that's called miladychan. It's run by an indian pedophile named Rohit Krishna Okhandiar who currently namefags as @charlottefang77 on twitter. He is a child groomer who previously ran a discord server that targeted underaged girls for self-harm.

>>384529

I fucking knew it. They made it intentionally frustrating and unreliable to pressure you to buy gold accounts.

>>384515
Rizon is an IRC server, one of the few old big ones.
There is a pony IRC server too, irc.canternet.net if I recall.
hexchat is generally the preferred desktop IRC client, but there are probably thousands of others for every platform imaginable.

>>384537
I've never played tbh. Is it still alive?

>>384541

>>384540
>captchas had a chance to fail even if you typed it in correctly
This has it backwards. When you type the captcha wrong, there's logic that will falsely show "post successful" if cloudflare thinks you're a bot (score < 80) AND you aren't a "known user". Not 100% sure what "known user" means, but it looks to be something like: you first posted >= 1 day ago and you've made >= 3 total posts. Once you've hit those thresholds, or if cloudflare thinks you're not a bot, none of this applies.

>>384502
I remember when the internet became popular in 1995. All the children from my highschool class (ALL if them) were able to use IRC (after being taught how to of course). Apart from a few people like me, none of them were nerds. Just regular people in secondary education (not even top level either). What happened to society that they have become unable to operate a simple program?

>>384543
i don't think itll ever truly die

>>384549
Public education is uninterested in teaching children how to think critically for themselves, communicate effectively, or organize beyond the next meal.
Parents are kept too busy to teach children anything beyond how to wipe their own bum.

>>384546
Known user is probably someone who has a recent 4chan cookie on their device.

>>384564
It's a bit more complicated than that - there are a bunch of different checks in the isUserKnown function. The cookie needs to be at least 1 day old and have 3 posts associated with it, and there are other checks about how recently / how often you've changed IP addresses while keeping the same cookie

>>384573
That last must be how the detective proxy users, since there was a rule for that.

Where's the complete source code leak including the captcha? I only have the source code for the main site.

Holy shit I can't believe this place still exists but I'm glad it does, came here via Kiwi Farms.

You guys have probably discussed it ad nauseam but they were running a 15 year old unsupported OS and hadn't updated the code since Moot left, I am shocked this didn't happen sooner and with the source code leak it is 100% gonna happen again when they come back online unless they completely rewrite it or just admit defeat and switch to Tinyboard or something.

I'm astonished by the level of incompetence and stupidity.

Astonished certainly isn't the word I would use...

...fair, the only thing they changed since Hiro took over was the captcha and we all saw what unusable shit that was.

Also the janny exodus is supposedly real

I wouldn't stick around either if I was getting doxed for $0

funniest thing in that is fact that moderation has been already shown to be full of shit, meaning rules were followed and not followed wantonly and boards turned shit due it. So that reads pretty much "oh nooo, we didn't do shit before this and if people leave, then we would need to do shit and we don't want to do shit, we want things to be as they were". So yeah, no hope there.

Hiro is going through his day like if nothing happened to 4chan. It's fucking funny.

Looks like this is actually going to kill 4chan. Wow.

I felt like this would happen. Paid shills and jannies won't get paid to do nothing. They will find new jobs.
It's USAID for 4chan spammers. It's going to lead right back to the glowniggers handling these shills.

It's for the best. People will regroup. If it does come back it's going to be the new reddit.

Hey anons, I came back to congratulate you all

In the end, /mlpol/ outlived /pol/, it outlived all of 4chan. Congrats guys! mlpol.net is the best bunker after all!

That's like saying you lost your limbs but are still alive. Thank you anon for the sentiment, but you'll hear no cheers from his end of the gallery

Yeah, it's outrageous. WTF were their admins fucking doing? Just fucking each other in the ass all day? It's bad to be slow on your software updates. It's worse to be slow enough that your software reaches EOL. You can't make it up that you let it stay EOL for a decade and a half.
