Greentexts, memes, everything 4chan.
Slurs
Slurs
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4chan's entire tech stack is built of outdated and insecure myPHP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
Nintoddler being a slur is somehow very funny to me.
In the media soon: The notorious hacker 4chan strikes again, his latest victim: 4chan.
I used to use 4chan when I was a teenager, I didn't post much though, mostly just read through stuff. There has been a lot of awful stuff. I used to think it was cool or edgy, but now that I'm older and smarter I don't really think so anymore. Suffice to say, I'm not going to miss 4chan in the slightest.
Freedom isnt always pretty or smart. Especially at the edges. But those edges need to exist. Not for you, but for everyone.
My sentiments exactly. I'm content to watch it burn to the ground.
Not even the world's worst captchca saved them! Maybe if you had to solve one for every letter you type, they wouldn't have gotten hacked.
I'm giving lainchan a shot to feed my imageboard obsession and I've been pleasantly surprised. The average post is of a higher quality and the mods seem more active. At the same time there are still like memes and greentext culture.
Might look into sushichan too...
Only issue is having to use KurobaEx instead of (Blue) Clover which is a bit clunkier but otherwise I think I can satisfy my shitposting needs.
Can we finally get definitive proof that Taylor Swift is a 4chaner?
Cool. It’s 4 chan. What exactly are you gonna expose lol
Apparently some admins had their personal emaild registered, and I heard posts caught the IP of posters.
IPv4 addresses are not permanent and shuffle around a fair amount. There aren't enough addresses to cover the number of devices on the net. You'd need an ISP to map an IP to a specific time range confidently. Governments could do that but they could also do that pre-leak if they were investigating someone.
Of course its php
That's not a surprise, nor was it unknown. Pretty much all pre-"social media" discussion sites were PHP. Myspace probably was, too. PHP also isn't intrinsically insecure, it just doesn't lend itself very easily to security.
Early internet website, php is expected tbh
They prob have infinite tech debt to even consider converting to anything because I doubt they expected 4chan to still be alive in 2025, plus I'm decently sure all funds are being to keep the website alive and not hiring
Nothing wrong with php, except not updating it.
