Not sure if this is against the rules or not

The IPs of all janitors and admins have been leaked

4chan's entire tech stack is built of outdated and insecure myPHP

Not sure where the source code is from but I think it's the forum that did all of this in the first place

I know it's a 7z, but still not even a megabyte. That's really impressive.

Not really, source code zips ridiculously well. A prolific and dedicated coder could probably fit their entire life's work minus assets on 5 floppy discs

I comment in base64 images

Not me. I code in a big font

I mean, this is only source code in text form, there's no assets or anything in the leak. They also don't use composer or any package manager, so there's no large dependencies in the project.

there’s no large dependencies in the project.

The one fucking thing 4chan does right and not even the big boys try

quite a welcome change that this leak is tiny unlike most others lol
