RIP Nectarine
By Yes on Tuesday 9 September 2008, 12:35 - News - Permalink
Using a security hole in a multipage class used in Nectarine, a script Kiddie deleted the whole Nectarine database.
In less than one hour, 8 years of work were deleted including php sources, Streaming applications, Music directories (64 GB) and of course, the Mysql DB.
The attack was strong.
Even if the DB account stolen using the security hole had no drop/truncate rights. the Mysql DB was deleted. All Debian logs were deleted at the same time. The Debian root password was changed. The music directory was deleted.

And backup ?!
*blinks* .... *cries* .... donates some money :-) I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
not such a great feeling when checking back after a while and seeing this mess.
Hope there's still some chance to track down that kiddo (although, I guess without logfiles, it's nearly impossible...), push him a long stick in the asshole and sue him to death.
Oh yea... and I agree with Ben: backup?
How are things coming along. I'm now displaying the ChipIN fund applet on my main menu which should help get donations rolling in.
Any news update would be appreciated.
Makes you consider reintroducing the death penalty.
fucking shit, these people should die
Please please make backups in the future (don't wanna be mean, but I thought you learned a lesson after the last hdd crash). Let me know if you need any support for backup solutions (if you want to you I could do remote backups to a system at my site). All of that assuming the hdd can be restored :)
Of course those script kiddies suck and should burn in hell!
Huh wtf? This is some seriously sad news... But yeah, what about the backups? You did make offline backups of all the music, right? This time it was a script kiddie, but it could have been a harddisk crash, or a fire, etc, and everything would have been lost as well. Website like these MUST have external backups (on DVD or so, or manually plug in an external hd every now and then and copy everything, anything a hacker can not delete.)
Ok I should have checked out the rest of the website first... I read that there are backups of at least the MP3's. Great news! :-) Good luck with the revival everyone!
Dammit, Yes.
I waited almost two years to audit the code. No, I'm not blaming anybody, but there have been SEVERAL goddamned SQL issues within this period.
Please open it to the rest of us, or just give up.

It was most probably someone from 4chan, Something Awful, Encyclopedia Dramatica, Fark, B3ta or the Patriotic Nigras. See why you shouldn't support these sites? Because their real intent is to gather sympathy in the front to support malicious people in the back.
I sure hope this case was reported to the authorities. A dead HD is not something we supporters have to pay for.
I want my favourites back at least so I can download the Mods/MP3s :(
Now we can see how Linux platform is secure. Ok, it's a joke ;-) First, when I walked on Nectarine I thought that it's gone - you know - shut down. But I didn't thought It was hacked. Really - why someone could destroy that great demoscene radio? I only have hope, that Nectarine returns :) Cheers 2 everyone on scene ;-)
What is the purpose of hacking a scene site of this nature? Must be "thing" that doesn't understand the philosophy of the scene.
guess some kid wanted to show his gay friends how his dick is big -_-
damn retards these days...
We need Nectarine back ! Of course is just the best ressource of this kind of music ! And don´t look back see it like a in german Frühjahrsputz
why there is no backup and it doesent matter if it´s one year ago
