Explored a bit and sent the guy an email at the whois address of another domain that seems in his possession. The email address in scripterous.com seems broken. root@localhost doesn't seem to get read. Hi, Your site scripterous.com is a security leak for your server. I was able to kill web server processes, investigate your server, and generally do things I shouldn't be able to do. A denial of service attack would be easy by constantly killing the web server and if there was a local root exploit (which I didn't look for) I could have executed that as well. I wanted to send an email to the root account on the server, but it doesn't seem to get read. You can view a bit more of the discussion on the security implications at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=827500 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=827500 (Despite the name and the subject we're discussing, that site is normally not about this kind of hacking.) Your site is an interesting concept and it would definitely be interesting to have it around. Nonetheless I fear that the concept of the site is the cause of the security leaks. I'm not a security expert, but it is my opinion that it's not possible to make a site like this secure, without reimplementing PHP.
