There's a wordpress DoS out that affects the latest version of Wordpress. It's in the wp-trackback.php file. The exploit essentially tells the server to process a trackback in thousands of charsets. You can find more details here: http://www.stevefortuna.com/new-0-day-wordpress-exploit/
This is garbage. This is an exact copy of a post I posted today. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1538741 He even stole my blog post word for word.
The blog is hosted at Theplanet.com. Send them an abuse/DMCA complaint although don't expect a reply. Feel free to use the Report Post icon at the upper right as well. edit: Oh, and there's no such thing as the 'latest version' of any software. They have version numbers for a reason. Please use them. Latest version is 2.9. Is that what you're running?
Yes, it was 2.8.4. Latest as of yesterday. I noticed they're hosted at HostGator and I've already sent them a letter. Thanks for the suggestion.
I still see 2.8.4 on wordpress.org, along with no mentions to upgrade within the control panel. How are you determining that 2.9 is the latest version. Is this version still in development, and not publicly released?
They're working on 2.9 right here: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk Feel free to download a copy. You're missing the point of what I was saying. Latest release for you is 2.8.4. Latest release for others is 2.9 or the development version. Had a client last week for the latest version for them was 2.6.something and they swore it was the latest version. The download is actually 2.8.4a I believe. That's why you should the specific version numbers as what you're running may not be the 'latest'. edit: In fact actually there's 4 different 2.8.4's now: http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/ reedit: Oh and they're not hosted on Hostgator, that's where the domain is registered. They're hosted at 174.132.114.6 which is a theplanet.com IP address.
I fully understand why I should have mentioned 2.8.4 along with latest version. But you can't argue that the latest version and trunk/beta/development are any way related. The latest release is still 2.8.4. And Hostgator is hosted at theplanet. If you lookup a hostgator IP, you will see similar response as the other theplanet IP. The reverse DNS on Hostgator's main IPs are theplanet.com
Bloody hell. No wonder why you're getting your content ripped off. Have fun dealing with your issue. I don;t have the time to beat you over the head with basic internet and computer knowledge.
Are you kidding me? Basic internet and computer knowledge? Hah...Don't be silly. Explain to my why some guy stole my content, please. And you're telling me this server: gator637.hostgator.com doesn't belong to hostgator...Thanks for being so much help...
Don't be an e-snob. hostgator is hosted on the planet's servers. 12 65 ms 67 ms 66 ms po1.car01.dllstx6.theplanet.com [70.87.254.138] 13 65 ms 67 ms 67 ms gator637.hostgator.com [174.132.114.2] And someone stole your content because it is exactly that.
