Congratulations Adelaide Massive!

Hello everyone!

As many of you know, I host this website on a server which I manage as a part of my business. In the last week I've been doing some general maintenance/analysis etc... I discovered that this site generates by far the most amount of traffic (measured by the amount of page views) out of the over 150 domains which I host.

Congratulations Adelaide Massive Crew! The prize is absolutely nothing!

Some other interesting things I discovered were the following:

• The busiest hours of the day are 3-4PM
• The quietest are 4-5AM
• A suspicious (IMO) amount of traffic comes from State Government web gateways
• An equally suspicious (IMO) amount of traffic comes from TAFE SA networks

So, from the statistics I can conclude this message with a few points to consider:

• Most of you are browsing this site from work - be glad I'm not employing you you slackers!
• There's always AM'ers overseas, hence the traffic at unusual times of the day. What? Isn't Adelaide good enough for you? 
• My tax payer dollars are paying state government employees to post on this forum. What would you do if I blocked all traffic from httpgate.sa.gov.au?
• A lot of you students are spending time on here when you should be studying! 

That is all.

Discuss...

Nothing sus there! just shows that the majority of people on here work for the government or are studying to. I'd say the country's in pretty good hands!

It wasn't me! 

Thats is a bit suspicious though

Do you reckon SAGEMS or my IT have this webpage logged as being accessed lots? I dont come on here that much, just once or twice in the morning, lunch and a lil in the arvo depending on my workflow

dodgy government bastards... at least they allow u access. Uni is so tight I have to go through an overseas proxy server to get on AM.

I came across some program called UltraSurf that gets around blocked proxies yesterday. I haven't tried it yet though...

I am sure if the network admins at wherever you people work or studied cared they'd have blocked this site by now...

Haha bezz. The funny thing is that places who restrict web access don't do it properly and/or allow users to install applications to get around their own systems.

 All I had to do at work to get full net access was go into network connections and untick ' use a proxy server'

 

Never ceases to amaze me how poorly managed/configured networks are all over the place.

Reminds me of the time I was cruising around my old school network hitting up various areas etc. and found a list of every student in the schools medical conditions etc. i.e. who has dyslexia, depression etc. etc. Only a little bit illegal that I found it that easily.

Now that kind of security hole really is a worry...

Especially considering that there are rules in place that school admin (as in the network for the office staff) networks are meant to be physically isolated from the student networks.

Exactly. It was a pathetic server. A heap of students got together and BruteForced the majority of the teachers passwords at one stage as well, which anyone should know how to stop. Two other things stand out to me which prove how hopeless the admin was. 1) I pulled off a ping -t and crashed the entire school server for a day. 2) I found out the admin password simply by looking through the window to his office and seeing a yellow sticky note there with the password on it.

Haha...

I have some stories from my school days as well but I'd rather not make them public to be honest.

... Cause they're more serious than yours.

Oh really? Although I never disclosed what I did with said admin password. Probably shouldn't either.

Sometimes it certainly is best to keep your mouth shut...

OOOH JUICY!!

 Oli I bet you hacked in and changed your grades from d's to a's.

 Then you almost caused a nuclear war and after that you learned your lesson.

 I even found some old security footage from your school -

 

 

 

We did that. That was nothing. Kind of got out of hand though because we changed heaps of peoples grades to F's and ours to A's. Needless to say they clued on pretty fast.

 Damn Gen Y 'ers.

 My genius is lost on you *exits*

Wargames FTW!!!!!!

Yeah completely missed that. I do understand the reference though. I'm too busy looking at people's webcams. Something interesting happening in a hotel room right now.

Stryke how'd you find that pic of me? I thought I formatted the hard drive on that server at school!

i got it! havent seen it for ages tho

ha ha! yeah joshua had it sussed all along I reckon, he was just tryin to get a stir out of falcon and the rest of the US!
