Server gets hacked. Admin posts details to Reddit. The exploit author responds
- finid 10y agoReminds me to always update my servers. And to always install a FIM (File Integrity Monitor) on the system.
- vonklaus 10y agoPedantic correction: the hacker does not respond the author of software exploit tool responds. Firefart himself did not actually hack into the sysadmins server, he wrote the code for a PoC that exploited dirty cow vuln. It seems the hacker used this code to gain root because of the unpatched software
- hhandoko 10y agoThe HN post title is incorrect. It's the exploit author who responded, not the hacker / cracker.
- dang 10y agoOk, we edited the title to say that.
