Don't worry about it Ravi, you haven't done anything wrong.

Walter is not a regular here. At best he is a lurker who neither asks 
Python questions nor answers them. In the last four months, I can see 
four posts from him: three are complaining about Nikos, and one is a two-
line "Me to!" response to a post about defensive programming.

No, you are welcome here. You've posted more in just a few days than 
Walter has in months. We need more people like you.

Thanks for the welcome!

But No thanks for the non-welcome -- I dont figure why Walter Hurry
(or anyone else) should be unwelcome just because I am welcome.

The world (and the python list hopefully!!) is big enough for all of us

Who said Walter was unwelcome? It's *his* choice to leave, nobody is
kicking him out.

Steven,

You make a fair point. I have posted very little recently, for the 
following reasons:

a) I'm not really competent enough to answer python questions, at least 
not yet.

b) I try not to post my own Python questions unless as a last resort. I 
prefer to try to solve my own problems by reading the fine documentation, 
and DuckDuckGoing.

However, I do lurk assiduously and have learned much by reading excellent 
'answering' posts from many such as you.

The 'Goodbye' post was made in rather a fit of pique, for which I 
apologise. If I am allowed a second chance, there is actually something 
puzzling me at the moment. It's a UnicodeDecodeError, but I shall start 
a separate thread about it.

Sorry again.

Walter

You're allowed a second chance, and a third, and a seventh, and a
seventy-times-seventh (or a seventy-seventh, depending on which
translation you read). Welcome back. And yes, starting a separate
thread for the actual question is definitely the best way :)

Indeed, the list eagerly welcomes folks who want to learn Python (not
just have the answers spoon-fed to them **ehem**), so based on
your "I prefer to try to solve my own problems by reading the fine

Oh boy is this fun!!!  Is this Nikos or is this not Nikos, that is the 
question?  Thinking that I could hack a website, there's more likelihood 
that it's the latest member of the UK Royal Family.

Why would I want to sue someone who's very kindly given me the longest, 
loudest laugh I've had in years?  Besides I can't afford a lawyer, don't 
want to put any money the way of ThievingScumbagLawyers.co.uk, and what 
is the point of sueing a person who almost certainly is going bust and 
hence can't afford to pay up.

Finally it was most certainly *NOT* me who did the hacking.  If it had 
of been I would have taken the same type of action just to teach Nikos a 
lesson, but I would have owned up to my trickery after a few hours.  As 
it happens my skills are so outdated that I wouldn't have the faintest 
idea where to start, unless of course I'd have taken the trouble of 
wading through the gazillions of posts talking about websites here with 
the occasional mention of how (not) to write Python.

Yes, so we can add "basic internet security" to the growing list of 
things you know nothing about:

python programming, etiquette, http, dns, tcp/ip, mimetypes, utf-8, basic 
internet security

And this is just based on the last 30 days of your posts!

In reply to#55173
:

Imagine, if you will, a pub landlord. I'll call him Nick.

The pub Nick manages is a run-of-the-mill affair: he leases it from a
brewery, and they look after most of the technical aspects of the
business. When it comes down to it, Nick is just a reseller of alcohol.
If one of the regulars mentions that they like Joomlager[1], all he has
to do is call the brewery and they'll handle the rest.

After a little while, Nick decides that his six months experience behind
a bar qualifies him for greater things. He's heard that the cool kids
are all drinking artesanal, micro-brewed Python Ale these days, so
thinking to himself "how hard can it be?", Nick throws syrup, yeast and
water into a big bucket next to the bar (reading up on how to do it
properly is too boring for Nick), and after a week or so, he's got a
sludgy mess for his trouble.

"Great!", thinks Nick. "I can sell this no problem".

Unsurprisingly, Nick's "beer" is awful. His customers aren't that fussy
(they're in Nick's bar, after all), but the stuff doesn't even seem to
get you even slightly merry, and a couple of people have gotten ill
after drinking it.

Undaunted, Nick decides to stick at it. He still can't be bothered to
learn anything about fermentation or any of that boring crap, but that's
okay, because he's discovered the local Python Ale Brewing Club.

The PABC is a friendly, helpful bunch, and a lot of the members really
know their stuff. For example, when Nick asks "how do I avoid letting
that scummy residue into the glass when I dunk it into the bucket to
serve someone?", they try to explain to him that a) serving directly
from the same bucket he brewed in is a bad idea, and b) if he'd brewed
it right, there shouldn't be any scummy residue in the first place.

Of course, Nick doesn't have time for any of that - he just wants an
answer to his question. He resolutely ignores anyone who tells him
things like "anyone could spit (or worse) in that open bucket; you need
to think about safety", and if someone tells him he should add malt to
improve the flavour, he just throws some ovaltine into the bucket he's
serving from, along with any half-finished drinks left by his customers.

Meanwhile, a lot of the members of the PABC are getting tired of Nick
asking the same questions over and over again, and not listening to the
answers - and especially his casual disregard for the safety of his
customers. They're enthusiasts, after all, and he's the kind of guy that
gives drinking establishments a bad name.

So, one night just before closing time, one of them pours bright green
food dye into Nick's bucket - nothing that would hurt anyone, but
something that Nick couldn't fail to notice before opening up the next
day. It's a little sketchy to adulterate his product like that, but he's
proved impervious to everyone's attempts to get him to take safety
seriously - maybe *this* will shock him into action.

Sure enough, the next morning Nick starts crying about how someone has
poisoned his beer. It's okay though; he's covered the bucket with a wet
towel, and he challenges anyone to get past what he believes is his
now-perfect security.

 - - -

In other words: you weren't "hacked". You'd been repeatedly told that
you had publicly visible source code on the net containing passwords in
plain text; all anyone had to do was login to your server with the
credentials you negligently exposed, and open a text editor. If that's
hacking, I'm Neo.

That's not to say someone else *hasn't* pissed in your bucket, but if
they have, they won't have publicised the fact.

By the way: if you haven't already, you'll want to remove the extra line
from your .htaccess file. And in case it isn't obvious: no, it wasn't

I'am aware of that fact, but the line you are refering too was just 
initiating a mysql connection:

con = pymysql.connect( db = 'mypass', user = 'myuser', passwd = 
'mysqlpass', charset = 'utf8', host = 'localhost' )

That was viewable by the link Mark have posted.

But this wasnt my personal's account's login password, that was just the 
mysql password.

Mysql pass != account's password

Because there's no chance with the brilliance you display that there could
be any possibility of login details being kept in plaintext in your
database.

And of course your database is so well locked down that no attacker with a
login to it could then execute arbitrary code on your system.

And there's also zero chance that your personal account login details are
also available in plaintext somewhere that you're unaware of.

Or the statement is a blatant lie and was meant to be

    mysql_password is not account_password

as they have the same value, but are set independently.  (too much Python Ale…)

I wont get mad but i want you too answer all of my questions and:

1. state by which method you managed to break in since at noplace at my 
awareness did i psot my account's login pass, only the source code of my 
main script which is now fixed by me altering the httpd.conf file and 
placing extra lines into my main .htaccess file

2. Be sincere and tell me if you have created a backdoor on my server 
that allows you to remotely login and do stuff.

I will even thank you for not destroying my system, but i want these 
questions i just types to be answered so i take action to fix things ven 
better.

Please, this is a business server.

I think it will be the line YOU did NOT enter. Just take a look yourself. The best way will be to compare it to a backup you made before the change.
