Title: SR server has changed
Post by: This_is_not_SOCA on October 08, 2013, 01:13 am
At some point between Thursday and today it looks like the seized silkroad server has changed or been rebuilt. (edit update: probably on sunday morning EST)

The server was configured with UTC/GMT - now it is is configured UTC-1 hours.

Also previously it was possible to cause the server to return the Silkroad banner using a malformed query with a carriage return in such as:
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/someoldbollocks/%0a/
The above request would generate a 404 and return the camel and the SR header. Now that same request returns a bog standard nginx 404 and the remnants of the SR content that were on the server are no longer accessible.

Exciting? no; but I thought it was worth mentioning - I was very surprised last week that whoever seized it didn't just blank the server and roll out a fresh one to display the seizure notice - i mean if you are the FBI would you feel comfortable essentially just replacing the front page of a web server you had seized, tweaking the nginx config and still leaving the system accessible?....

Rebuilt maybe, but to do what ?

One point is sure, SR was hosted on the same server as the forum...

You can still go on SR mainpage "error" , introducing few ))) in forum url

EX : http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?action=post;topic=218994.0;last_msg=1594784

     http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/ind)))))ex.php?action=post;topic=218994.0;last_msg=1594784

SO it is a fact : SR and FORUM was (and still are) hosted on the SAME server, NOT REALLY SECURE

WE NEED A REAL GEEK, IN A FOREING COUNTRY WHO HAVE ACCESS TO A PRIVATE SERVER AND REBUILT SR

I don't see how what you're saying here proves both were on the same server. In fact I'm not sure what you're saying at all.

If u can access to a"SR error script" (from the main site) via the forum, doesn't mean both are hosted

on same server ?

give me your advice MarcelKetman, but respect mine.

No.  It just means the same error page is on both machines.  Have you ever copied files from one machine to another one?

No guys, nothing is on the same server. I promise. All that page means is there is:
1. the same error page between the 2 servers as stated above, since custom errors are configured by pointing the server to throw the same page.
2. It is redirecting across servers on error which is very likely.
3. Nothing, that page means nothing! It is not set up the same as SR, does not use the same page headers as SR, and uses in-line styles unlike SR, SR was all external styles. It's just an error page as many others have stated.

What he said - they are definitely not on the same server.

What I was trying to say in the initial post is that the SR server (not the forum server) was reconfigured or more likely swapped for a new one on sunday, by persons largely unknown....
