Kev's Server

By smithdm3 - Posted on 14 February 2006

Poor Kevin, poor Steve...

Kevin's server, at home temporarily in Steve's office and housing both haggaret.com and stevenandjody.haggaret.com was hacked. Kev and I spent a bunch of time getting the data off and starting to put Ubuntu on in place of the e-Smith install he had previously. Kev had started to put Gentoo on a different server but couldn't get it to mount a drive (his CDROM I think...). Anyway, now he'll use the same distribution as I have chosen.

We did have a few wrinkles in attempting to get it back up and running last night. I think maybe we didn't install things in the right order, so it wouldn't allow us to do some things we wanted, so sometime this week (not tonight, as it's Valentine's Day and I've got a hot date :D ), maybe this weekend when I'm out at his place for poker already we'll get it back up and running.

I'm pretty sure it was a spammer that hacked the server this time. Yes, you heard me right, this is the second time I've been 'hacked'. Thankfully both times nothing really destructive was done and I was able to recover pretty much all my data.

Big thanks to you Dave for helping me out last night. I'd like to do some work on the server tomorrow night (since I wont have anything else to do) so if you're planning to come see the new place, do me a favour and bring my server along with you will ya? :)
