I did, that's the webpage that is having problems.  I've contacted InfoSec which runs the IACRB and they are looking into it and will get back to me within a few days.

I sent them a screen shot of the problem. 

Well I haven't officailly passed per se.  I have yet to turn my results in but seeing as the instructions say that to pass I need to get full root access to both systems and then also document everything I should pass.

InfoSec's website to submit my results is not letting me. I am trying to contact them to see what the deal is but when I go to their link and hit submit after loading my either Doc/Docx, or a zip file it says "this option is not available"

I did it, found the root password for the server.  I am done.  I was running a Hascat for 18 hrs doing a brute force attack and it finally had a hit.  Double checked it by trying to log into the server under root and it worked. 
I had one day to complete this as my extension ends on Jan 1, 2012.

Thanks for everyone's help.

So my buddy has gotten into the admin panel and has removed the screen that you saw when you logged onto the site.  He's working on it slowly but seems like he is getting there.

According to my friend that told me a few days the DB was backed up with the defaced version.  He said they back it up every month and maybe that month ticked down seeing as this has been like this for maybe a week or so.

Looks like it was just defaced.  Seems the VB that my buddy using is less secure than the most recent updates and the version that we have currently is one that everyone else stays away from.

Getting on the VBulletin looks like the admin's made a toold to help get rid of the defacing problems.  I forwarded the link to my buddy and let him help and then I will help out where I can.

Good heads up.  I looked into VBulliten defacing and found a few things that I sent to the owner to look into.

Also give me a opinion on this.

I reported their Facebook acct to FB as I feel that with them having a FB acct that FB is allowing them to run a criminal enterprise.  They clearly do this for fun/money as it's not just this webpage but many others and have a large outreach program to get others to join their efforts.  So hopefully FB will inquire why I reported them and then I can go into detail further.

All about making the hackers job more diffuclt to communicate with others.

Networking, was my big thing when you go to the monthly meets but have not been to one yet.  Get your name in the Security crowd here in town.

The company that has the backups only has a backup of the hacked webpage.  So the owner is saying they may have lost everything.

I emailed the guy today and am waiting for a response.  They also have a facebook page that I may go on as well.

So many of you know who I am but what you don't know is that I am a moderator on another forum that deals with my hobby outside of work.  It's a car forum my friend set up for the people like myself that own a specific type of car ( Mitsubishi Evolutions or also called Evo's)

Recently the site was hacked by a Sudan Security Team and my friend is having a hard time getting the site back under his control.  The company that owns the Vbulliten has  a back-up but it is of the pirated version that you see here. 

The site's address is called Coloradoevo.com

So is there anything that any of you can suggest or do for us.  There is around 400 members and this site has been a great palce for us to get together and talk about topics regarding our cars.  If anyone could help please let me know.

Why don;t you look into the FBI's Infragard.  This will get you an FBI background check.

I've heard it's anywhere from 30-90K per level of clearance that you need. So I need a secret so it would be like 60K.

It's exspensive that's for sure.

I don't know.  I had a resume that showed my little experience and my certs and I had some passion in there as well.  They could see that.

I just had in interview for a Jr. Pen Tester yesterday while shopping at Target.  So these jobs are out there.  They found me online and contacted me for the interview.

It is I agree.  I was able to get Metaspolit runining last night for the first time.  Nothing postive though came from it.  But just being able to get it to run is an accomplishment in itself.

This book was refered to me by a Sr Computer Forensics Analyst years ago and then a few months later in school this was the one we used as the book for the class.  Very good book
