Solo SE hacked?

[mlc1967]

Hi All, I have a friend who has recently purchased a solo se from the sponsor, he had a message pop up on his screen (attached in photo)
It now appears he can only get free to air channels, as soon as he switches to subscription channel, (any satellite) signal immediately goes to zero
I have reflashed the box with latest VIX re-installed cccam and fresh bouquet but I think something has been screwed with in the boot sector, is it fixable?


EDIT: Screenshot removed as it had reference to another site

Solo2 se is a clone, you'll get no help here. Purchased from the sponsor? I doubt it.

[mlc1967]

100% purchased from sponsor, it is the new solo se not solo 2, apologies for the typo! now edited

That makes more sense. Lol.
A fresh flash without restoring any backups should get this running, but I fear the problem may have arisen because your friend is using a "server" for his pay channels, and again if he is you'll get no help here. Can you confirm he has his own viewing card in the box.

someone with WebIF access?

someone with WebIF access?

yh exactly. It is more likely that someone has access to openWEBIF which can allow you to post messages to the receiver. Nothing to do with the server

[mlc1967]

Hadn't changed his setting in webif but has now, how would all the subscription channels have zero per cent signal but free very strong? I

[TK4|2|1]

someone with WebIF access?

Yeah that makes more sense. Has he opened any ports on his router to allow viewing over the interwebs?

[mlc1967]

no access over internet at all now and message has not re-appeared

[willieone]

Same happened to me but the message only appeared for 30 seconds.
I had to get the ports on router password protected.
Mate helped me as I know nothing about this field.
CS World are bad news.

I take it you had access over the internet before so that you could stream from it. Do not do it again without securing your receiver.

There is a thread by Pembo regarding how to setup SSH keys.

Its not hacked you just haven't closed port 80 on your router. Its just a normal function of the WebIF send message service that they have used.

48100

If you really must have port 80 open just go into the webif plugin and tick Enable HTTP authentication.

48098

By doing that they have to know the username and password of your box to get into it.

They are just trying to panic people and advertise their forum. Its not the first time i have seen this.

[willieone]

They had me in a panic. Didn't know what was going on.

Why do they do this ?
I was told it's a forum of people banned from other forums.

Wonder why????????????

[manicscrewdriver]

The people who are doing this obviously have very little to do in their lives. Naming a forum in the message could however be somebody trying to discredit the forum, as its obviously not teh way to get new members, maybe an ex-admin with a grudge, its hard to tell :confused:

[blacknight]

seriously guys this has happened to me same as you willieone XXXXXX news wanted me to buy line from XXXXXX on XXXX totally wiped my box that site has alot to answer to messages and volume messing and turning box to different channel guys secure your box with good password

[abu baniaz]

@blacknight,
1. I have edited your post, I've removed reference to the site as that gives them advertising

2. We do not condone CS nor support it. We can only assist people with their legitimate cards.

[manicscrewdriver]

As i said before just Enable HTTP authentication on the webif plugin that is in most images and close port 80 and port 21. Also hange root password on the box by telnet to something else, if you leave the root password blank or the same as the one installed with the image you are going to be asking for trouble.

The only people who are going to get caught out is people that leave their box wide open to the internet with either no password or one installed with the image.

[blacknight]

i agree i have had messages my self and box has been played with volume up and down i have put security up my self i had the XXXXX message my self on screen couldn't get it off had to reboot box i agree willieone beware of XXXXXXXXX protect your box is there anybody out there that might know this person or were these originate from PROTECT YOUR BOX WITH PASSOWRD

[abu baniaz]

I have edited your post again. Do not do it again.

[willieone]

I got my box turned over a few times as well.
From BBC1 to the Adult channels.

It may sound funny but hey whatever amuses the simple.

[manicscrewdriver]

Its just sad little individuals who have nothing else to do and nothing more. Like anybody is going to buy a line from somebody who has just tried to hijack their box.

To be totally honest if you buy a line from anybody as in the words of Keith Lemon "Your a total mung bean"

[judge]

It's actually quite easy for anyone to find boxes open to the internet.
You're just asking for trouble doing this.

[notlikebo88y]

He is not referring to "world of satellite"

I have deleted the screenshots as they provide advertising

[judge]

Nobody in this thread has been hacked.
Some fool with too much time on their hands is just taking advantage of people who don't secure their boxes.
You can probably track them down by checking IPs connected to your box.

[notlikebo88y]

If you're going to leave your box open to the internet, it could be anyone.
Use
netstat in telnet to see what IP is connecting.
