So, a bunch of trolls got hacked? I’m not sure how I’m expected to feel about this, but frankly, I’m not feeling anything at all.
well thing is, they might be searching for a new home
As someone who has never actually used 4chan, I have popcorn and am just sitting back and enjoying the shit show
That’s the best way to consume 4chan content.
The 4chan Captcha never worked for me, so I stopped trying years ago. I used to go there to troll trolls when I was in a mood.
I posted an amused and positive comment on the orange site about this and in 2 minutes got a threat about me getting hanged in the near future. Tech bros be panicing.
I mean, the same will happen here if you post the wrong opinion. It’s not that different from Reddit. (See how I used to word and nothing happened, btw?)
I would like to be hung. 😏
Which one of you is going to hack reddit then?
ok ok I’ll do it
I never liked 4Chan even when /b was the big thing and not the /pol.
Oh god /pol/ is the hot spot now? I can only imagine the cess pit.
/b/ is just logspammers and porn now.
And the 15 min wait to post anything has noticeably slowed down any sort of discussion. Posts on /b/ can last for up to a week now because of it
That actually sounds like it might be an improvement…
someone hacked into the sewer and stole all the turds
Is that the average 4chaner?
Above average.
Start linking up 4chan IDs to real rich people like Musk or republican officials and watch trump start calling for the death penalty for the hacker.
It’s that incel elon musk starting all those facebook porn threads on /b/.
I think you guys have a weird idea of what 4chan is.

Allegedly Elon’s account.
Did 4chan had usernames and so? Wasn’t it’s deal that ir was anonymous?
Some of the boards use a system called tripcodes, which are essentially a username and password in one that are used when writing individual posts. It allows people to prove that they’re the same person across multiple posts, without anything as identifying as a user profile attached.
I always tough that they were cookie-generated, like you wnter the cookie assign a code for you that eventually go off. Pretty lame them pretending to not have user names while doing it.

doesn’t this essentially make it an opt-in system to user names?
I looked at some of the leaked source code and my god the code smells are so rotten its like they had a dead horse in the back for a while and its developed a stank like an Eric Andre skit.
It increasingly looks like nobody would maintain this bundle of wax besides under-experienced juniors who threw themselves at it, and apparently after moot sold it, it was never touched. It runs on an extremely old version of FreeBSD and PHP.
The fact this happened now as opposed to any time in the past decade is, I have no words.
I mean, the source code looks a lot cleaner than WordPress, which is an incredibly sad statement.
Kill WordPress now.
Really though, it doesn’t.
I absolutely hate the way 4chan formats their HTML + PHP intermingling in views. That’s not to say WordPress doesn’t do this as well, but oh man in a much better, cleaner, and more sparingly way. The 4chan imageboard view Github -> 4chan is absolute chaos. Why this wasn’t rewritten is beyond me. That’s just the first thing I see as I peruse the source, I can’t imagine it gets much better from here.
Here’s a fun exercise: What’s the deepest nest in this loop? Github -> 4chan Bonus points: What’s the deepest nested statement in the source?
Also, the owner of Wordpress is allegedly a piece of s…
…panish Inquisition
Didn’t expect that
Nobody does 😔
I wish people would stop censuring themselves on lemmy like they do for the other social medias. You can say shit, and a lot worse now that you aren’t asking a corpo for permission to speak.
Censoring*
Censure is like a harsh criticism
Shaaaaaving cream! Be nice and clean! Shave every day and you’ll always look keen!
Aaah, someone of culture, I see.
Stilton Cheese?
Satin undies?
Shit?
Satin undies?
Close. Soiled undies.
Ssssssandwiches
I wanna bet attackers probably thought it would be maintained by one or several of the most no-life, chronically-online users of the web… or that they would be waiting for an attack to get revenge in their typical unhinged way… and it turned out no one was maintaining or watching it at all XD
security theater is a quite effective deterrent at times.
Not even 4chaners thought it was worth protecting
I looked at some of the leaked source code
Where? I’d be interested in looking through it too
Link unfortunately dead by now…
here’s a new one: https://files.catbox.moe/d56ws8.7z
I can upload a new one. Ping me tomorrow when I’m awake again.
check some of the other chans and you will find a catbox.moe link to it.
Didn’t they get hacked pretty regularly in the past?
Question: what is the significance of /qa/, why was the board banned in the first place, and why did the hackers bring it back?
qa was my favourite 4chan board probably ever. it was a random board like /b/, but strictly SFW. so, they were the creatives of the site. the soyjak memes you see everywhere started there. they got into fights with other boards but it came to a boiling point when they raided 4chans LGBT board, and as a result qa was closed. they moved to another website. that website, or rather one of its users, then spent about a year navigating the very outdated freebsd from a decade ago running on 4chans servers until he was able to access the PHP admin panel, re-open /qa/, and then nuke all files on the server except the homepage. which itself now seems to return an SQL error.
Fascinating. Live by the trolls, die by the trolls.
Which site did qa migrate to?
it’s soyjak.party
its a website referred to as the party, but im not saying the actual name due to the fact that it regularly gets spammed with csam and other violent things of the nature, its really a lawless land and its hosted in russia. its not hard to find if you look on twitter or something. even as someone who went on qa before, i have never wanted to step foot there, its not the same.
Not interested in that other stuff, but are there any sites you recommend that are closer to the old qa?
kissu.moe is where most of the original qa migrated to, aka the people who were there before it started to become a raiding board. it even has its own version of qa there now which is really nice and they have drawing threads and talk about anime and stuff.
damn it’s even in the original 140p
120x160, actually, but effectively close enough.
(e: also it’s a static image; no need to indicate whether it’s interlaced or *p**rogressive, because again, it’s a static image. And before you get pendantic: yes I’m aware that PNGs can be interlaced or progressive—but this is a JPEG—and those terms mean something completely different when referring to static images, compared to video.)
pendantic
lol
It’s also not a progressive JPEG either.

Now thats a meme i havent seen in 20 years
It’s an older meme sir, but it checks out.
Boxxy must be what…40 now?
She turns 33 in few days.
I’m assuming that if you know that, you probably also know what she does for a living now… And I also want to know that. Programmer? Porn? Paralegal? I can’t even take a guess that feels right.
I can’t help you with that, I never read about Boxxy before yesterday. I didn’t use 4chan either…
I bet you didn’t even look that up.
No, I didn’t even know who Boxxy is before this. I looked her up and Google gave out her Birthday.
I still would
34 or 35, I think. I remember learning that she was around my age.
oh hey you were 13 on 4chan as well?
Queen
I remember when she was popular learning that that she was like 10 years younger than me, so 35-ish.
The hacker known as 4chan hacked himself? 😮
Turns out the hacker known as 4chan barely knows how his own code.
Who is this anonymous and why does he keep talking to himself?
Come over to Marblecake and I’ll explain.
Not the type of hacktivism we need but the one we deserve.
The hackers who took 4chan down come from an imageboard known as soyjak.party or “the sharty”. They are unironically, in terms of politics, more far right, and in terms of culture, far worse than 4chan from what I’ve heard and seen from the website.
Yeah - the real freaks left because moot dated like Brianna Wu or something stupid and weird like that. 8chan was the place for a bit.
4chan is owned by an anime figma company at the moment - i think Nendroid?
What’s the point? 4chan seems like such a low value target.
A bunch of chuds got angry that they were banned because they went brigading against LGBTQ+ folk.
This was the end result
Ah yes, there’s no honor amongst thieves.
By my understanding, 4chan left themselves vulnerable which, given the circles they foster, means they were going to be compromised. No fear of reprisal or consequence for it either. Not like when attacking a major corporation or government.
i’m fairly certain there are more than likely a LOT of politicians on there with very questionable posting records who would probably be on a sex offender registry if it got out.
If they’re Republican it won’t matter.
Badge of Honor for them, probably.
For the LULZ obviously.
For revenge
The Elon thing is possible, and there’s a screenshot in the Reddit thread that’s kinda convincing, but I’m still not bought in.
Tinfoil hat brain is wondering if there’s something in there someone’s supposed to find but 😂 🤷🏻
10000 line file with no comments is honestly relatable as someone who took a job and had to wade through code like that
My nightmare source was only a few lines less, and it actually was commented. But in French. Label names were also dereived from French. The original author was dead, and Google translate was not yet a thing.
I’ve seen code where all the comments were simply URL references to tickets on a now deleted Trello board. Great, real helpful thanks.
