does anyone know about "SegmentationFault" hacking into websites and overwriting index.html, default.htm files?

Info on Seg Faults: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault

Found a hacked site by the "Segmentation Fault Group": http://www.hma-assn.org/index.htm

umm...thanks for the info, but it has nothing to do with memory...I just want to know if anyone know about the so called SegmentationFault group or whatever, especially how they break into the site...

umm, if you read the terms and conditions of this site, I'm sure you'll find talking about hacking websites is a prohibited activity as are requests for pirated software, etc.

And I did provide you a reference to the group, though it was a small example of their "handiwork".

Do a little diggin' on Google.. it is all there.. not on here.

no, I am not interested in breaking into websites. I want to know how they break into them so I can find a solution to stop them. It looks like it might be a frontpage exploit or something

What is the HTTP server? Apache/IIS/Domino?

What is the webpage written in?

You mentioned front page, so I am assuming you are talking about IIS? What version of Windows? ARe you up to date on your server OS and patches?

What is your access level set to if you allow documents to be generated? A la this site?
