They are hosted on a free subdomain in Germany 2.Their poll (recently added) on their front page is courtesy of nupolls.com. Surely, the original OPP team could have scripted a poll in-house? 3. They have spammed every Oink-related thread I can find using the aliases of old admins and mods (see above) When questioned for specifics, they grow hostile or strangely silent. 4. Ex-mod Paine is operating a blog with actual information regarding the post-bust fallout. It has yet to be proven wrong (yes, he is also selling shirts at no profit- something the scammers included --then deleted-- an allusion to on their front page. paine has said that all new Oink sites are fake- at least the would-be private ones (which this one has claimed to be) asking for money upfront. 5. The front page has evolved from barely literate to something more polished, easily confusing some. 6. Read the page itself- there impossible claims made there. I won't say which ones because these theives have obviously incorporated feedback and have made their front more presentable over the last 2 days. It wont hurt to see on Nov 1 if this is legit. Sorry for the long rant, but these fools don't deserve a dime for ripping off the stupid and/or hopeful. I feel obligated to warn anyone checking out the .cx .la site that it looks 99% likely a scam.

1. They are hosted on a free subdomain in Germany

2.Their poll (recently added) on their front page is courtesy of nupolls.com. Surely, the original OPP team could have scripted a poll in-house?

3. They have spammed every Oink-related thread I can find using the aliases of old admins and mods (see above) When questioned for specifics, they grow hostile or strangely silent.

4. Ex-mod Paine is operating a blog with actual information regarding the post-bust fallout. It has yet to be proven wrong (yes, he is also selling shirts at no profit- something the scammers included –then deleted– an allusion to on their front page.

paine has said that all new Oink sites are fake- at least the would-be private ones (which this one has claimed to be) asking for money upfront.

5. The front page has evolved from barely literate to something more polished, easily confusing some.

6. Read the page itself- there impossible claims made there. I won’t say which ones because these theives have obviously incorporated feedback and have made their front more presentable over the last 2 days.

It wont hurt to see on Nov 1 if this is legit. Sorry for the long rant, but these fools don’t deserve a dime for ripping off the stupid and/or hopeful.

As long as we keep it simple, and use software that has held the test of time (apache, mysql, php, etc), anyone who finds an individual flaw would be less likely to seek us out for exploitation, since there are tons of better people to exploit. That being said, the main thing we would have to worry about would be a flaw in our own programming (namely the tracker), which can be minimized using certain programming practices. A) Use something along the lines of PHP with sockets for the program, since this is not as inherently vulnerable as a compilable language such as C++. Plus we could easily program in functionality to sanitize unwanted characters. B) By having it as an image, we could run it in a virtual machine. While exploitation is still possible (see recent exploits directed at virtual machines) it'd be much harder to break out of the sandbox. @29, I know what you mean, but the security is inversely proportional to the number of features.
