@Slyr0x, this is your opportunity to become a special adviser and consultant on web security to the Federal Gvernment of Nigeria. Go! You can do it. |

Am going through the hacker profile, it is time we all wake up and ensure high security measures in websites we develop for clients. But to be sincere with you, 10m, no b small thing oooo. They can't even provide a dedicated server, dts crazy, open source for government? Men those webmaster should be sued, U need to give them a custom solution. Anyway, Federal government, webmaster section of nairaland can do a better job with just half of the price you pay. |

With Regards to web and security,Joomla has not faired well. Its highly embarrassing and a national insult to us all. I hope this does not repeat itself. That's not to say opensource is not the way forward. The White House uses Drupal. |
Re: I Won’t Stop Attacking Nigerian Websites –irish Hacker by webmpro(m): 6:18pm On Jul 08, 2013 |
Na wa ooh, 10m for a joomla site? what if they were to develop from scratch that means they would have been paid 50m. anyway, to the issue of hacking dont we have professional hackers in nigeria who can fight back? Even if it means hiring hackers for 100m to build a custom and secure portal for the government. |
Re: I Won’t Stop Attacking Nigerian Websites –irish Hacker by yawatide(f): 6:57pm On Jul 08, 2013 |
Joomla isn't the issue, IMHO. I mean, the white house uses Drupal. The issue is that most likely, they didn't implement a key process for a project like this: web security. If they done this during the development phase, then that audit would have more than likely uncovered the hole the hacker exploited. If I know my people well (and I think I do ), an oga at the top got the job for n10m, then paid someone no more than 200K to do it. That person in turn just downloaded the default joomla, got the cheapest shared hosting solution, installed, did his/her job and called it a day. Oga at the top then turned it over to GEJ and went to Dubai (or wherever) with his mistress to enjoy the loot. If the above scenario is true, then we need to do a top-down audit of all our systems (hosting, ISPs, servers, etc) and processes to ensure it doesn't happen again. I personally consider it an insult that the hacker is (supposedly) not Nigerian. 1 Like |

10m? Well, like yawatide said, a potbellied agbada wearing man collected the 'contract' and paid a web developer 50k to do the job. |

Some time last year or so, I rallied volunteers from this board to design a site that could have been handed over to the FG, even for free. I remember being laughed at by those who reviewed the site's design, never mind that I asked for volunteers and had to roll with the resources at hand (naija! Na wa for una o!). Looking back at it, given the rigor put into it, from design to security testing, I dare say it was better than what we had, prior to the hack. A site is definitely more than the design and getting a cheap host. Hopefully, these guys learn their lesson. |
Re: I Won’t Stop Attacking Nigerian Websites –irish Hacker by GraphicsPlus(m): 4:50pm On Jul 09, 2013 |
@Yawa, I sent an email to Mr. Labaran Maku this morning asking him to give me a go ahead instruction to redesign the website from scratch using custom codes then convert to drupal later. After redesigning and developing and hosting the website, I wil then go on twitter to challenge paddy. I think he should be told how stup!d he is. I told Maku that am not ready to collect a dime from FGN. All I want to do is to prove to this naughty guy that what he knows that there 101 people that know it and how to lock him outside the website. I mean, this is ridiculous. I cant afford to watch Nigeria been ridiculed like this. In fact, I have started working on the UI of the website. Will wait for Maku's reply. 4 Likes |

This man clearly has free access to the server. Sad that the webmasters dont know any better. I mean why would any sane IT personnel keep deleting an intruder's file instead of locking him out completely? I'm pretty certain paddy has more access to the server than the so-called webmasters. The first thing to do is to get a dedicated or atleast a vps server. How can a federal goverment's website be on a shared hosting server? Doesnt make sense. My personal blog is on a $20/month vps on linode. |
Re: I Won’t Stop Attacking Nigerian Websites –irish Hacker by mrperfect(m): 6:47pm On Jul 11, 2013 |
But that won't solve the problem as Nigeria government don't really need these websites going by the way the operate them. Some of them don't even know the url of their sites. |

^^^ Then maybe we should start there. Start from the very basics...The genesis. We also need to stop the culture of recycling the civil service where someone keeps redeclaring their age so that they can remain employed. Only when the new generation are firmly in control can stuff like this be truly appreciated. |

yawa-ti-de:. Lol guys, i fink the idiot used a ddos attack to introduce himself at first(u guys shld try pinging the site nd si its get_records), them due to the open source nature of the server they're usin, he explicitly has enough access to the server than they can imagin , nd wat did the stupid web admins o'er there do? Removed the portal page which had already been cached by the smart hacker, so wen dey removed it, he simply reissues the page which had contained links to the site itself with some scripts. Instead of them to disable all links with a quick counter script, they removed the index page'! So stupid, nw the hacker finks he has devoured a big whale, dang! Wish sm1 smart wuld help those guys o'er there |

this is a very important advice to us all,learn some languages and learn to develop from the scratch and leave all this open cart systems for me personally,i prefer developing from the scratch except am using a well and very secure host that i know would not fail me e.g if am hosting my site on google,like my blog. |

GraphicsPlus: @Yawa, I sent an email to Mr. Labaran Maku this morning asking him to give me a go ahead instruction to redesign the website from scratch using custom codes then convert to drupal later. Have you received any response from the IM.Public officers in Nigeria rarely reply e-mails. Writing custom and then migrating to drupal later is like taking a 2-way flight to Lagos from PH.So just start with Drupal. Will be glad to help. |

Seriously.If I were to follow your advice,my quotes will be running seven digits for simple projects.I rather fix the loopholes of the CMS than build from Scratch.That way,I can focus on other aspects of web development and allow the CMS to take the load of managing users,permissions,security,file mgmt. Besides most clients can't afford the cost of developing a Custom CMS. |
Re: I Won’t Stop Attacking Nigerian Websites –irish Hacker by yawatide(f): 12:46pm On Jul 13, 2013 |
^^^ Personally, I don't think joomla is "strong" enough to handle the "pressure". Given the poor quality of the design and the content on the site (Have you visited the "national forum" page? Check out spam now. Also, given that most Nigerian access the web via a phone, it makes sense to have a mobile version. Joomla 3 supports mobile. I guess they didn't know that), it might make sense to just start from scratch, rather than try to plug the one problem. Now, if they have the budget (of course we do, given our oil resources, but u sabi as we dey. They will make it seem like they don't), I would perhaps be in agreement for a total security audit of the current site and use that to determine if it is necessary to continue with what's there. Depending on the results, I then may or may not keep the current site. |
Re: I Won’t Stop Attacking Nigerian Websites –irish Hacker by Nobody: 1:11pm On Jul 13, 2013 |
TO be frank security is a big deal, you get hacked easily especially government sites because we all know how they handle their contracts, that being said. There are few Nigerians good with security however the government won't employ such like that, hacking has been a pure interest for me, especially when someone from India showed me how sites can be hacked via images. But really i don't support paddy, but am more tolerant with paddy than the Government, i mean Why the F.cuk shud corruption be given a lighter pass than homosexuality. So Homosexuality is more serious corruption, its all diversion to get us to think about this while corruption still goes undetected. GEJ and his Cohorts are just pure mediocre, this is the type of shi.t we will have to deal with 2015, am also more disappointed with Christians; much time is fought on denying the rights of others than their own rights. I don't support Homosexuality but i don't support religious institution tackling Human Rights especially when such Religion has been responsible for deaths of many. sorry for my rants. 1 Like |

Why don't the Nigerian government Umaru Dikko this person called Paddyhack back to Nigeria and try him. He would learn a lesson when he spends time in a Nigerian jail and have his arsse bastardised like the people he is fighting for. He would never attempt such shyt again. |
