Ashoat Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Hey guys, This latest downtime was because I asked my university's CS department to try to hack HelioHost given an SSH account (I'm experimenting to see if we might be able to offer it in the future). Basically, I'm running a security audit to see if I can patch all the holes. However, I didn't make it quite abundantly clear enough that they weren't supposed to down the server. Hopefully won't happen again. Thanks, djbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashoat Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 I've patched the main issue that caused this. I blame cPanel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facha Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 why today downtime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermetic Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Well I think --and I suppose the other members are of the same mind-- downtime is quite tolerable if it means getting SSH access. The shell is always a good tool to have, regardless of how useful cPanel is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
