Although it is running IIS, it could have just as likely been running Apache. In fact, IIS has a much better track record in this regard as Apache.

Regardless, somewhere there is a sysadmin who should be looking for a new line of work.
(but since it was hacked, maybe a MS server),

From this angle.....I can tell you, unequivocally, that its......BROKE

RE: Regarding your server problem
To be honest, I'm surprised hdforums is even up at all at this point. I'm betting that there is some serious flattening/rebuilding efforts going on right now. (At least I would hope so.)

As luck would have it, I've been doing some self-study on computer forensics for my job over the past few weeks. Based on what I've been able to pick up, I don't envy what the site admins and hosting company are having to deal with right now.

BTW, if you want to practice hacking, I need my hard \\;disk formatted. My IP is 127.0.0.1.

RE: Regarding your server problem
It's easy to fix a problem by bypassing it, i.e. ignoring it, chucking everything, and starting over. With the collected experience and wisdom here, I think we're all glad that isn't happening here. Although, think of it: starting over with brand new threads on azzless chaps, fingerless gloves, windshields, dino/synth oil, girls' bikes, and the wave.....

RE: Regarding your server problem
The problem may not actually lie with the server itself, but the code that was used to develop the site. \\; Keep in mind the .NET server has a back-end database server such as SQL (MS WINDWOS) or Oracle (UNIX) that it interfaces with and can be an issue.
While this site more than likely resides in the DMZ of the firewall since it is hosted on the Internet, it doesn't look lilke a hack job.
For a site that probably doesn't generate much in the way of revenue, I impressed that it has been as reliable as it has been. \\; The last issue that I recall was the search problem that was eventually fixed after about a month, I'm assuming this one will take the same amount of time to get addressed by someone doing it in their spare time.

Jsans, The site belongs to InternetBrands who owns a lot of these sites including carsdirect.com. Their net income last quarter was 3 million, up 30% from last year. The host is mzima.net, the largest hosting service in the world.

RE: Regarding your server problem
Listen, I am just telling you what it is. You do what you want with it. Ive worked on computers since late 70's 80's when you had NO screens and you would flicked a switch. My guy is with the School Board and its for all the schools that belongs to that school board he works for among others. Hey, like I said, just letting you know what he said. And yes we all can get hacked. LIke the Mafia Boy that hacked in NASA 15yrs old little canadian kid. \\;
