 | | perfidious: <steve>, your self-portrait as a <South Park republican> elicited a chuckle from me. Keep up the good work! Good humour is always welcome. |

| Aug-28-22 | | Rdb: Interesting post by <Keyser soze> , defending his buddy <George wallace>/<big pawn> and criticizing <z> Well, admins had given ultimatum to <z> and he decided to co operate with admins
, he complied. Everybody - including <saffuna> , <chancho> et al - cooperted with admins except...who is the guy who did not co operate with admins but instead kept on defying/threatening admins in aggressive/rude/insulting way ? Yes , <george wallace>/<big pawn> |

- Is this happening when you analyze every game or just certain games?
- It will be helpful if you can please send some screenshots of what you see when the error occurs to: chess@chessgames.com

| | MissScarlett: What's the nature of these purported server attacks? Assume complete ignorance on my part. |

 | | stevemcd87: The hackers are looking for vulnerabilities in the site using SQL injections (https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_i...) |
|

 | | OhioChessFan: Boy, those hackers are really obvious.... anyway, no change whatsoever in the narrative. |
|
| Aug-31-22 | | stone free or die: <<OCF> ... no change whatsoever in the narrative.> Indeed. It's a story almost as old as the bible. |

| | chancho: Strange how some people want to defend the indefensible... |
|
| Aug-31-22 | | stone free or die: <chancho> indeed² It's curious that <Missy>, of all people, insisted on technical details. . |
|
| Aug-31-22 | | stone free or die: Another intro to SQLi attacks:
https://portswigger.net/web-securit... <...
In some situations, an attacker can escalate an SQL injection attack to compromise the underlying server or other back-end infrastructure, or perform a denial-of-service attack. <What is the impact of a successful SQL injection attack?> A successful SQL injection attack can result in unauthorized access to sensitive data, such as passwords, credit card details, or personal user information. Many high-profile data breaches in recent years have been the result of SQL injection attacks, leading to reputational damage and regulatory fines. In some cases, an attacker can obtain a persistent backdoor into an organization's systems, leading to a long-term compromise that can go unnoticed for an extended period. ...>
Note DoS can also be a component. Seems I remember a bunch of DoS attacks on <CG> - not too long ago, in fact... |

Waiting for who? Godot doesn't make house-calls since the beginning of covid. You might like to join in this zoom conference call instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVu...

| Sep-01-22 | | Rdb: <OhioChessFan in <Susan freeman forum> : I recognize you're on okay legal ground on the banishment. And if the accusations on <steve's> forum are correct, it's all good. But if they are wrong, I think you're on shaky legal ground, as those claims trend toward libelous. And to allow one of your admins to make such claims in an open forum but subsequently refuse to address them is really poor form.> I do not understand this post of <ohiochessfan> at all. Can somebody please explain it to me what <ocf> is asking , what he wants now? <Ocf> and couple of other 'buddies' of <gw>/<bp> asked for the details that admins did not want to share but admins eventually disclosed when these people were not moving on. So , is this matter still not closed ? What more does <ocf> want ? Does anybody know ? Thanks. |
|
| Sep-04-22 | | Rdb: As <ohiochessfan> still dissatisfied about <gw>/<bp> issue , i am reposting his post from <Susan freeman> forum to <stevemcd87> forum , in case Steve chooses to spend some more time to satisfy <ocf> <OhioChessFan: <Rdb: Well , matter closed then to everyone's satisfaction , i guess....>
No. And I figure <Miss Scarlett> likewise.
<Susan: Except George Wallace I have been wrong before in my life. I am not a tech person.>
Working in the dark here, but how hard would it be to impersonate another kibitzer, yada yada yada. Working in the dark here, but the case was so airtight your admin appealed for help identifying the perpetrator. Working in the dark here, but creating a lot of accounts doesn't amount to hacking a site in my view. And you nailed it in terms of me thinking you may be mistaken but not lying

| Sep-04-22 | | Rdb: Steve may or may not respond . Meanwhile , i respond to <ohiochessfan> even though i do not think any response would satisfy <ocf> 1) in many cases in courts , there may not be 100 percent proof for the culpability of convict . Friends/family of convict may always say (without substantiation) things like : DNA was planted at crime scene , witnesses were paid and coached and so on. 2) that is what <ocf> is doing , as i see it. Someone impersonated <gw>/<bp> ? How ? Attacking the server from ip of <gw> and sending those messages , email stuff ... ? Come on ! Someone with such skills would be doing something much more profitable than to frame <gw> in a case for which the only penalty for <gw> is to get banned from cg.com for the time being . 3) appeal made by Steve ? It was not appeal as Steve explained in his forum in the response of a post of <miss Scarlett> 4) this is too embarrassing guys...just move on please .... |

| | MissScarlett: [bad chessgames.com link] This is a bad link that used to bear the <GOTD> title <I Have A Dream>. The gid suggests it was an Australian correspondence game. Any way of identifying the game or even when/why it was deleted? |
