Title: What is this SR Quick Buy?
Post by: Yama Dass on December 18, 2012, 08:40 am
I'm noticing that the top items in each category have a modified image for SR Quick Buy superimposed on top of their original image. The image also contains an incomplete wallet address. Has the SR image server been breached? What else do they have access too? Can anyone confirm they are seeing this also?

For now I think I will be emptying out my wallet till I know what is going on.

Yeah, they are changing the images on the top selling items for each category. It looks like the image server is the only thing they have access to.

Just came to the forum because I noticed this.

Instructing to deposit directly to a nonexistent bitcoin address, in other words right into a black hole. Shit is seriously fucked up.

hmmm, it's possible that they are holding the private keys to these addresses but they haven't been announced to the network yet.

I found one on the block chain it's on Powerade's listing:

Ok so they are real, but some haven't been announced yet. This ain't LE, but some kind of hackers.

Post by: utf-8 on December 18, 2012, 09:21 am
A lot of the images also have the addresses cut off/incomplete.
It is possible that some of these addresses are private or on another block chain.
I do find it interesting that they all link to different addresses though.

Examples of incomplete or cut off addresses can be seen in the links below:

Just seen this and came to check the forum, even if the vendor is trusted no way would I be "quick buying" anyway.
Title: Re: What is this SR Quick Buy?
Post by: astor on December 18, 2012, 09:25 am
The cut off is probably a mistake of whatever mechanism they are using to insert the overlay. In other words, they're not very good at what they are doing. :)

Someone in chat mentioned that it could be SQL injection hack rather than complete access to the image servers. It makes sense given the speed they are changing the images.

Post by: astor on December 18, 2012, 09:36 am
Apparently this happened last night too, at about the same time, when the forum and most likely the main site have the fewest users (and no admins around), but last night almost nobody noticed. Maybe it was a quick test run.

I think they are generating the bitcoin addresses on the fly and inserting them into the images so fast that they aren't even announced to the network and searchable on the block chain when you first see the images. Perhaps if we keep checking, more of them will show up. Announcing the addresses isn't critical. As long as you have the private key,  you can claim the coins at a later date. It's just conventional to announce even unused addresses because people want to check and see that an address exists before they send coins to it.

God you'd hope to think not many would fall for it? Bound to be some.

Nothing quick about typing out a Bitcoin address copied off an image, manually, vs simply sending it to the vendors account name via SR. Surely SR should just be put offline, if is possible, if in this state?

Post by: c3ri110 on December 18, 2012, 10:02 am
Most of the people just for being here, means we are "IT educated"enough, we will never send money to those address unless an official announcement is made. It could be an attack , small but an attack since just the top products on the listings are being affected and its using social engineering in order to confuse users to send money to these addresses.  Lets wait for an official announcements, but it does not looks like a big deal from an IT point of view.

Yeah I did change them manually .. my shipping options were deleted a few days ago except for the 1g amphetamine listing... thought it was just some kind of bug but now with the new pictures it's seems more like SR got hacked. I also changed the pictures manually again but it seems that someone has access to all the listings and can edit them.. scary thought but at least no BTC got withdrawn at least as of now.

Already contacted vendor support , we'll see what they have to say about it..

My top 2 products keep changing, i first notice that the postage option disappeared 2 days ago and found it odd..

Now i have re-uploaded my product image and add the postage option back in twice and it keeps changing back.

Hope this gets resolved soon.

looks like hacked graphic library, something like watermark on pictures in e-shops you use, they are generated automatically by gd library in some script (it explain why it is again even when vendor reupload picture, some part of code generating this was putted there)... it do not mean SR was hacked overall, probably just some door issue into this graphic script, but still
hope some official announcement from admins will follow soon

Yeah, they are working from the top down. Eg look at the ecstasy listings: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/category/6

All the thumbnails show the overlay. So it's a massive coordinated attack being rolled out now.

Whoever is behind this: fuck you you fuckin fucks.

Merry Xmas to all the noobs losing their coins, and Merry Xmas to all the vendors losing a full day or two worth of xmas orders, and Merry Xmas to all the clients who can't get their holiday orders in on time.

Someone in chat mentioned that it could be SQL injection hack rather than complete access to the image servers. It makes sense given the speed they are changing the images.

^^This.

SR displays images by encoding them directly into the HTML code generated by the server. Some lame ass skiddies must have found a way to inject the same "SR quick buy" generator code into every bestseller image regardless of size or any other constraints.

I have a feeling that this may be LE trying to do their best to disrupt the market. The Australian feds admit to these kinds of operations, so just imagine what their counterparts in the US and UK are trying. Of course there's an equal chance of it being some l33t an0n h4x0r script kiddie. Any knowledgeable hacker would have rooted this server ages ago without tipping anyone off. SR would just wake up one day to find all the btc gone. Trust me, there have been plenty of opportunities in the past. Looks like most knowledgeable hackers respect this place for now, although that doesn't explain the lack of attention from the "cybercrime ecosystem". Either they make too much money running scams or selling drugs on SR, or they figured hacking it in pieces would be more profitable (and practical) than pwning the whole market at once.
Title: Re: What is this SR Quick Buy?
Post by: northsouth on December 18, 2012, 12:18 pm
What worries me the most is how they are able to delete or somehow 'bug-up' the posting options. One could fear that they've found SQL-injection, but seeing as they've had to pull this silly 'alter pictures, remove shipping options'-stunt (which honestly can't be very effective), they probably have very limited access.
If they could steal our bitcoins, they would had done it already.

^
The 'inappropriate characters' filtering script, that resides somewhere inside SR's code, is there to protect against things like SQL-injection. My theory is that the hacker is someone with access to a vendor account, and that the SQL-injection 'hole' resides in a user-input only accessible to vendors (like the user-input necessary when you create a new listing - the postage option input perhaps?). This would explain why nobody has found it until now.

SR staff needs to fix the issue ASAP. If it is SQL-injection, it could be much more extensive than what we're seeing just now. If I was DPR, I would give out a BTC reward for finding holes in SR's security-systems and reporting them.

It would cause too much thought to actually type that address manually.

Unfortunately, it's highly likely that if someone were really desperate to purchase a product and couldn't due to the missing shipping options, they would probably type in the address manually.  Only if they didn't know better, and only if they were really, really desperate for the product.

so true.
However anybody willing to do that is desperate to lose money also.

This really sucks folks but remain calm. Nobody seems to be posting about lost BTC or finalizations screwed up or lost escrow.

Seems for marketplace, even a black market place, of this size the level of profit, there's been remarkably little feedback from DPR (or anyone else who is in contact with him), regarding what's gone on, etc, or defense, I know they can't have a team of computer hackers non-stop guarding SR, but a one man army doesn't seem to cut it. Getting harassed by a bunch of script kiddies. It's the lack of information that concerns me most, though.

This is a lot worse than when the site goes laggy or down for a few days, genuine infiltration and partial overtaking of the entire system is really fucked up. If I were a vender unloading serious weight I'd be sweating my ass off.

WOW not a big deal really

SO IF SOMEONE HACKS INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT  YOUR LOCAL BANK AND JUST CHANGES AROUND A FEW ICONS THIS WOULD NOT bother you this would drive me up the wall I would take my money out of that bank 5 seconds after I heard that my banking account was hacked I don't give a fuck if they only hacked it to change my middle letter of my name the fact that they hacked any portion of my banking account is unacceptable in any measure.  Therefore having silk road hacked in any fashion is unacceptable this is not fake virtual money in my account it is actual real money that I earned. the security at silk Road has gone downhill fast over the past six months and the pending reports from wiki saying that LE is going to be doing a massive attack on silk Road towards the end of this year and the beginning of next year makes me think that silk roads days are numbered.

So yeah....this is all very disconcerting isn't it.

Extremely.  Frankly what worries me more is that people will overreact and vendors won't be around.  If there were a better attack, they would have used it.  This really is... kind of pathetic.  Don't get me wrong, it's more than I could have pulled off, but it's a pretty pathetic attack all the same.

I rather like how popular Silk Road has gotten.  Granted, it makes it more of a target, but you can get virtually anything you want and the whole free market thing is driving the quality up and the prices down.  I think that's pretty damn cool... though it occurs to me that I've never gotten anything except stimulants... Well, the option is nice and all  ::)

Extremely.  Frankly what worries me more is that people will overreact and vendors won't be around.  If there were a better attack, they would have used it.  This really is... kind of pathetic.  Don't get me wrong, it's more than I could have pulled off, but it's a pretty pathetic attack all the same.

I rather like how popular Silk Road has gotten.  Granted, it makes it more of a target, but you can get virtually anything you want and the whole free market thing is driving the quality up and the prices down.  I think that's pretty damn cool... though it occurs to me that I've never gotten anything except stimulants... Well, the option is nice and all  ::)


Not wanting to add to the paranoia but uhm... isn't the URL usually http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/home rather than just http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad?


... um... maybe I spoke too soon?  Yes.  You're right.  wtf?

Ever since it the marketplace came back from the LOONNNGGG downtime a bit back, that's the address I've seen (the second one listed). It's only been recently that I've noticed the first one start to show up at the login page every now and then.

Let's not forget that people have undoubtedly been trying to hack the site for over a year now, and this is the first time it's really been accomplished in any way at all.  That's really not so bad.  I'm not saying it's completely excusable, but c'mon.  It's not nearly as bad as it could be.

I don't know... I don't usually read the forums a lot, so I really don't know what happened in the past. But people make it sound like it has happened before.

If this is really the first time, then yeah, maybe it's not as bad as I'm thinking it is in my head. Still not excusable though (v. the really great analogy of a bank site above).

I'm quite sure it used to be "http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/index.php/silkroad/<whatever>".  Then it changed after the downtime and lost the index.php.  But it still had "/silkroad" usually; depends on what page you were on.

Edit: I was looking at a page without the "silkroad"... nevermind, it looks the same to me.

I know they can't have a team of computer hackers non-stop guarding SR

Why not? Maybe not guarding non-stop, but shouldn't there be at least two people in different timezones who can be called upon when the need arises? Shouldn't there be someone who's paid to find flaws in the system, and then fix those flaws?

As I said above - it looks like amateur hour sometimes. I'm telling you, if SR isn't going to be run with all the seriousness it deserves, it's going to blow up in our faces soon.

silk Road security sucks you got one guy running a website with over 50,000 members this is stupid and he's managing our money do you people not see this this one guy is managing this whole  thing  our money and our identity "my pgp addresses"and security.
this site is being manned by one  person's stupid stupid stupid .

I mean come on the owner of this site has to be making hundreds of thousands a year at least in this is how he repays us for making him fucking rich no security no IT team nothing just him fuck this I'm going with that guy that's been advertising on here 100% security and no arrests receiving policy. no BTC no wondering if your secure or not much safer and a much more reliable vendor I bought three things from them have not had a single problem.

I cannot say that about silk Road from day one of being a member there's always a problem always package shows up 15 days after I ordered it sitting in escrow for fucking ever.

At least this is how it looks like for now. From what has been posted in the forums over the last few days I wouldn't expect much more to come.
However, someone has done his homework pretty good and I wouldn't underestimate his skills, so we may stay curious what comes next. But as the people that we are, doing illegal stuff, we aren't likely to be shocked by whatever happens, ain't we? ;)

I'm pretty sure an operation the size of Silk Road has never been seen on the darknet before.

Running and scaling the infrastructure required for this utopia you and I enjoy is uncharted territory, even for DPR.

If this were a clearnet operation, no problem - you'd be outsourcing the shit to Amazon.

I doubt there's anyone approaching DPR with a legitimate cloud server solution for the darknet.

This is a pretty fucking minor glitch in the scheme of things.

SR is not something where DPR can just hire some IT Security Specialists out of the paper to keep tabs on the site 24/7. No one but DPR actually knows anything about how the site is run, which is how it should be. It's an anonymous market place on the hidden web selling a lot of illegal products. DPR obviously has very limited options on how the site is run. Let's give him/her a chance to make a statement and then go from there. DPR came through some difficult times recently so lets give him/her a go to rectify this problem and have a little patience.

stop worrying about the url. you can access the site with either. has nothing to do with the injection attack. 

since it seems people don't really have an idea how this works, i will explain. since there is obviously a security hole and an exploit is being used to inject code into the SQL server, the hackers can continue to inject bits of code into the server that will change small things on the server or add up to a much larger attack.  people keep saying that they only got access to the imageserver... that's not true.  they gained access to the main server.  that is how they removed the shipping option.  with enough time, they could completely rewrite the database to reroute your BTC to wherever they want and make it TRANSPARENT to you.  you should remove all your btc immediately until this issue is resolved.  once a security hole is identified, it can be used to mount a much larger attack/hack/spoof, there is literally a plethora of things they could do.

as of now, the main site is INSECURE and i would recommend everyone to stay away for now until the issue is resolved. 

as far as you know, the hackers could have found an exploit in your TOR browser, implemented an image (or something else) in sr that can lead to your OS becoming compromised/hacked/infected.

that's exactly what i'm saying. i'm an it professional.  i know what i'm talking about.  it takes awhile to completely compromise a SQL server.  they probably can only inject small bits of code at a time.  that's why you saw the images changing over time.  it takes time to mount a comprehensive attack via SQL injection.

This is to be expected.  Bitcoins are divisible to like, 8 decimal places.  The site rounds when it displays your total -- you really were trying to withdraw more funds than you had :)

Well, what you said sounded awfully alarmist.  And I'm sorry, but I don't agree with your assessment.  You're welcome to your opinion, but that's just not how computers work.  If it was going to take time, there's a reason it would take time.  Computers don't sit there going "oh look, it's 1'oclock, let's have tea!"  What are you saying, the CPU can't crunch the numbers fast enough, yet it has time to waste with this pathetic image altering?  I don't see how that's possible.

Actually, when it comes to SQL and INJECTION attacks (not how fast your CPU can run! LOL) usually an attack will only allow SOME code to be injected.  There is not just an open hole that they can do what they want with.  The perpetual hole is absolutely possible, but like i said, it takes time to inject ALL your code that is associated with your hack, have it assemble within the DB, and carry out the attack.  it takes time.  i'm sure that they are continuously working on it as we speak.

I love everything that DPR has done for the community, but I don't think he will be the man leading this revolution in the long term. We need a distributed market place software, open source and developed publicly (perhaps on Github, or a hidden service git repository), where anyone can review the code. With enough eyes, all security vulnerabilities are shallow, but SR is developed in secret by maybe 3-5 people. There's no way to know for sure that it is secure, until something like this happens, and then you know for sure that it isn't.

1. Okay, it takes time.  So explain why?
2. Okay, so this image alteration isn't them being fucking retarded and tipping their hand (i.e. warning people there's a vulnerability before they can fully use it).  Explain how?

You obviously don't know what you're talking about.  I won't lament over that though as there are much more important thing to discuss.   To answer your question, in the SQL database environment, there are LIMITATIONS on sizes of things.  So, case in point, it seems that they initially gained access to change images.  Im POSITIVE there is an image size limit.  There is one glaring example of limitation.  On other systems of the SQL environment, the data sized can be greatly reduced (images can be large).  So they find a hole, exploit it (send their bits of code via the exploit to save to the server), they design the code so that when all of the code is received by the server, it will automatically assemble into a complete "program" (hack) and carry out whatever it wants.  Usually the first thing to go for is to design your hack so that you gain admin rights over the server.  once you have admin rights you then have that perpetual hole i mentioned where you can literally go for the gusto and hack the shit out of said site (IE TAKE YOUR BTC).

The gist of this is that all users with a substantial amount of money in their SR account should withdraw it into their personal wallet(s). Hopefully DPR or an admin will come forward soon and address this. At least put a huge warning on the main page to avoid sending bitcoins to these addresses. However, who knows how deep the hackers have gotten (keeping the site mostly unchanged to keep up the ruse). Until this all gets fixed I will probably buy my holiday goodies thru tormail. I feel bad for the noobs that fell for this

I pride myself on always being open to being wrong.  I care about truth more than I care about being right.  If you're right, I want to know it.  But what I'm saying is this: you are not telling me WHAT THE LIMITING FACTOR IS.  Why can they not just do this all at once?  Prepare the code beforehand, launch the attack, and have it done within minutes?  THAT is my question that you're not addressing, and I'm trying to point out to anyone who doesn't see it that AS STATED, even if you're right (which I don't believe you are), your argument doesn't make sense.

Either they're fucking retarded to tip their hand this way, or what you're saying is wrong.  I just don't know how else to put this: what's stopping them from doing it ALL AT ONCE?  The CPU can't process it fast enough?  The database doesn't allow more than one change every minute?  I mean there MUST be a reason, and you're not giving it.

This does not look good at all and I would advise everyone to put their orders on hold until this is resolved.
If someone has compromised the Image servers/is able to push SQL code through then security could be in real danger. If this is the case then they will be able to do more than just manipulate the images.
At least withdrawals are still working  :)

Hmmm guys...

I withdrew my money to my client wallet and once my blockchain got caught up I didn't have my money.

I checked to see where it went on blockchain.info, and it got split into its integer value and remainder, both sent to different addresses. I'm not sure if that's some SR method of bitcoin tumbling and it will get here in a few minutes (it's already been 20 minutes now) or if my bitcoins just got sent to someone elses addresses.

From my knowledge of SQL injections, it's certainly possible for them to modify a withdraw query string to set the recipient address to a malicious one, but I want to know if anyone else is having this problem or if I shouldn't be worried about this.
Title: Re: What is this SR Quick Buy?
Post by: nucka on December 18, 2012, 08:45 pm
the "quickness" of carrying out the hack depends upon what they exploited. ie cache tables, blocks, images, whatever.... each "system" has different data size limitations... think of it like a cardboard box.  once the box is full, you can't put anything else in it.  so you have to empty the box, and refill it.  then after you do that however many times it takes, then you have to have all that dumped stuff assemble, then execute.  i guess it's a slightly difficult concept to understand unless you are a techie.  trust me.  it takes time to mount a complete attack via just sql injection.  the thing that is scariest is that they could have already locked out admin PRIOR to changing all the images and could be furiously writing code to further exploit the site (ie a completely compromised server)  who says that admin still has access?  why are they not saying anything right now?  because they may be shitting bricks right now and now know what to do except take the site down...

the pissing part is that most likely they hackers simply identified a security hole because admin didn't keep apache/solr/whatever properly updated.

that's what happened to sony.  just didn't install a server update.  that's all it takes.

Just posting here to confirm that I was able to withdraw bitcoins to personal wallet until things are resolved.  Whoever posted above about the insufficient funds msg -- you can withdraw 15.07432 bitcoins, but can't really get the exact amount you have in SR because they round the number to the nearest .01 in $$.  I had something like 20.07 BTC, and just withdrew 20.065 and it worked fine.

I'd also echo the sentiments re: timing -- how horrible right when everyone is putting in their orders to arrive before the weekend...

the "quickness" of carrying out the hack depends upon what they exploited. ie cache tables, blocks, images, whatever.... each "system" has different data size limitations... think of it like a cardboard box.  once the box is full, you can't put anything else in it.  so you have to empty the box, and refill it.  then after you do that however many times it takes, then you have to have all that dumped stuff assemble, then execute.  i guess it's a slightly difficult concept to understand unless you are a techie.  trust me.  it takes time to mount a complete attack via just sql injection.  the thing that is scariest is that they could have already locked out admin PRIOR to changing all the images and could be furiously writing code to further exploit the site (ie a completely compromised server)  who says that admin still has access?  why are they not saying anything right now?  because they may be shitting bricks right now and now know what to do except take the site down...

the pissing part is that most likely they hackers simply identified a security hole because admin didn't keep apache/solr/whatever properly updated.

that's what happened to sony.  just didn't install a server update.  that's all it takes.

I know for a fact that they apply security updates.  How?  I have eyes and poke around at things.  Just take my word for it.  Also, I applaud your tone, sir, it's very neutral now.  That said... you still haven't told me what the box represents.  Why can't they fill up a dozen at once?

ok,  last post on this as i have to get to the doctor and pharmacy (haha), but they can't fill numerous "boxes" all at once because an injection would be targeting ONE "box".  So they exploit the shit out of what they have exploited.  ie, if you only have ONE cache table that is exploitable, you can't fill it simultaneously  30 times. you have to fill, save (empty the box), fill, save, fill, save, fill, save, ASSEMBLE, EXECUTE.

have fun!

Just because you created the illusion to anyone that you explained something doesn't mean you explained anything at all.

Most of the people here aren't tech aware so you may tell what you want and hope that a few of them believe you. I disagree with you and by just insulting people most of your post' readers will just not believe you.

If that is the case, I wouldn't hire you. The stuff you're saying simply isn't correct. Just because you can manipulate data in the database, doesn't mean you can execute any code at all.
But answer me this: If they were able to deploy a full-scale server take-over through SQL-injection (which is rarely possible), why the FUCK would they try to scam people with images? Stop trying to spread fear and panic, you little forum terrorist.

We ARE already paying for protection of our clients and ourselves. It's called commission. Regarding the amount of cash the people behind SR make one should be able to expect an active team of administrators who are on top of things when they happen.

Don't you think that if there was a serious security hole thet SR would be still online?

There is a minor flaw which affects some vendors but not all. No BTC traffic is in danger nor are accounts at all. Just think about it as a few glitches inside the system and everything will be alright.

In a few hours everything will be as usual. Silent, discreet, hidden. Be happy.

Post by: Fat_Speedy_Guy on December 18, 2012, 09:30 pm
I know they can't have a team of computer hackers non-stop guarding SR

Why not? Maybe not guarding non-stop, but shouldn't there be at least two people in different timezones who can be called upon when the need arises? Shouldn't there be someone who's paid to find flaws in the system, and then fix those flaws?

As I said above - it looks like amateur hour sometimes. I'm telling you, if SR isn't going to be run with all the seriousness it deserves, it's going to blow up in our faces soon.

Cryptography and the vulnerabilities of the dark web are much less likely to be in issue in regards to Silk Road staying around, than that of simple human ratting / incompetence. Obviously a team of top hackers working under you would help in regards to these situations, but then they'd be liabilities at the same time purely due to the position of trust. But there still needs to be a balance IMO, today is/was an example of how their current level or amount of manpower they aren't capable of defending the website adequately enough. Tricky balance though.

Dealers lost out, SR lost out, and addicts didn't get their fix.

I'm surprised why SilkRoad hasn't taken the site offline to fix the issue, I appreciate it's almost christmas and it's a very profitable time of year but the site is clearly compromised. I know it's been said before, nobody can process an order in the legit way because the postage options have been taken down, what's the point of keeping the site up if you can't place an order? Unless there's any way vendors can upload new pictures overwriting the hackers watermarks and readd the postage options? Over the past few hours I can see it's getting worse, fingers crossed the SilkRoad team resolves this quickly, this is madness :o

Just posting here to confirm that I was able to withdraw bitcoins to personal wallet until things are resolved.  Whoever posted above about the insufficient funds msg -- you can withdraw 15.07432 bitcoins, but can't really get the exact amount you have in SR because they round the number to the nearest .01 in $$.  I had something like 20.07 BTC, and just withdrew 20.065 and it worked fine.

I'd also echo the sentiments re: timing -- how horrible right when everyone is putting in their orders to arrive before the weekend...

I have some faith that things will be restored in due time... hopefully sooner than later.

I think that's the only confirmed withdrawal.

I found out on Shroomeister's thread http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=94392.0 uploading new photos won't make a difference as the hackers will overwrite them. Seems like most of the major vendors are being attacked whilst the lesser known/newer vendors are clear for now. I still don't get the point of having SilkRoad online when it's in such a shambolic state, if they took the site down a few days ago due to an influx of newbies certainly this is a good enough reason to do the same? It's making feel very uneasy, I'm keeping off the marketplace until normal service has resumed.

I really cannot believe so many people think that just because you said in your address and PGP format that you are protected you feel sorry for the people who don't use encryption I feel sorry for you that you actually think that just because you have a PGP formatted encryption being sent to a vendor protects you how do you know the vendor is who he says he is and not EL.

did you think that the authorities don't know what PG Key encryption is then you are just talking out your ass.

If the authorities bust the vendor the first thing they're going to do is make him give up the PGP key and at that point your fucket

I was able to deposit funds without any issue. I didn't know there was anything going on until after I got my BTC and started looking at what I wanted to order. Messaged a vendor asking what the Quick Buy deal was all about until I noticed it all over and found info here.

So no, it doesn't appear they have access to account. If they did, our money would be gone, they wouldn't be hoping people would randomly send to these addresses in the pictures. I'm sure some have, but hopefully they didn't make much off it.

Still bothered there has been no word from anyone of some power about this. I think it's because DPR is compromising someone's mother's vaginas as per another thread lol.

The hackers do not seem to have access to anything but the image files, and changes have been made it appears, to allow shipping updates, which we've also fixed.

Please contact SR Support with any questions/concerns. We are unaware of anyone who fell for this, but if you did, there's nothing we can really do to help, unfortunately. Hope nobody got got!

Best,
Purest

My listings have been affected by this. I can confirm what was reported earlier; the altered images will return and shipping options will be deleted, even if the listings are manually fixed. I have been able to withdraw coins from the site still and I would ask that anyone who has an outstanding order with me, to finalize early. All placed orders have been sent and will be arriving within 2 days, but I would feel a little better not having money in escrow. It does take about 20-30 minutes for the listings to be corrupted and the site appears to be working normally, otherwise. If anyone is comfortable ordering, I will try to keep my listings clean, with shipping options. I will ask that you finalize early, but I will be able to get orders out before Thursday so they'll arrive by Saturday.

Lastly, I have total faith in the Dread Pirate Roberts and so should you. I could write several paragraphs on why that is, but will save you all the time. This is certainly disconcerting and a large nuisance, as well, but it could be far worse and I'm confident that DPR will come through.

CalifornicationBuds, what if you post a listing with no image? Will the shipping options get changed?

Also, despite your unwavering faith in DPR's ability to fix this, I find it mildly disturbing that they've known about it apparently for at least 12 hours and haven't been able to remove the malicious code.

"CalifornicationBuds, what if you post a listing with no image? Will the shipping options get changed?"

That is a fine question. The image and shipping have actually not been changed since I last fixed them, which was about 25 minutes ago. I am going to leave them for now, in hopes that they remain as they should, but if it happens again, I will post a listing with no image and report back. I have a feeling the same thing would happen, or at the very least the shipping would still be deleted.

Well, there it goes, not 3 minutes after I posted that. I will create a test listing now and report back with any useful info.

Even if it's a listing w/no picture they can change it. I had a listing w/o one so they put up an image of some molecule with the quickbuy attached.

Fuck me - got a call out - bribed with a cash incentive and a day off on pay so I'm in work of all places and with a tech guru who also partakes in the delights of SR. He basically hoovered up some yayo I got off here, swore it was the best since business in Mexico! He will share his with me - just offered but I don't doing coke in work. He does, and has, so its a bit of a party here!

Anyway, to this hack.

I'm a learner, know a few codes and understand how these sql injection attacks work on a basic level.

We have decided that this was on the cards. SR, no matter how good it is, faces some VERY clever hackers and its all over the world now! The Russians used to take Windows apart whilst we simply just used it. They looked under the engine, as did China. We even have kids who can, by means of downloading a few kits, get up to chaos!

But this is not kids. Nor is it LEA but it could be security services, having a work out or using that old excuse 'related to terror funding'. I would imagine any of the main nations have people who could get into SR because whilst SR might be built and maintained by a team of maybe half a dozen, the states have thousands of programmers and dozens of almost genius level coders.

My guess is that this is just a gang of hackers who have several operations on the go always and SR has been studied for weaknesses and even simulated so the hackers can get in, grab the coin, and move our before the site had to be closed for maintenance.

Russians, Israelis, Europeans, Americans, anyone can be a suspect. They know they are hitting a site which cannot ask the police to help and therefore its not even high risk! In fact, every hacker who buys drugs off here will have studied the code. We studied it, not to hack, just to see how safe things were. So far, given its status, SR support staff have been brilliant.

I knew we would see some people lose coin this Christmas, mainly with the usual vendor seeing too much money given to him/her by strangers! Christmas last rush buys!

I am afraid some people will have gone for this easy buy option, sadly, SR can do nothing there. We all know that buying here is a risk anyhow. But, if the hack does develop into milkjing the actual funds here, and not just using the bait of no postage option and a 'Quick Buy' offer, then moving funds out is a good idea!

I have advised people I know to not move out and am messaging a few less than tech savvy buddies to watch out for this quick buy!

I know people who would certanly assume the quick buy is a legit SR function. Anyone new here will not know about how to order. The hack might be just to milk a few hundred/thousand out of new buyers here or old ones desperate to grab that last minute present for someone!!!

I had a vendor message me and ask for me to FE. I NEVER FE, but given the situation, I decided I will FE if the vendor sends an encrypted message. The message to pay may be the next stage in the hack - so if the vendor sends me an encrypted request, I know its not the hackers! They may be good but no way can they grab the private key needed to create a message from specific vendors.

Just in case the message is a hack, here is what it says........

_____________start of message____________________

"dear customer.

due to the current problems with sr, I have to ask for FE.
You can be sure, your order arrives safely. It is already packed and was already on the way to the postbox.
But. there was a hack to sr which is not so big, but still, its a hack. you can read more: (http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=94315)

Dont worry, you order is already processed, as I said. But I do worry about the payment which is hold in escrow on sr. I don't want it to rest for days on sr now. please understand. I have many orders and that is much money.
So, I can only send your shipping, when you finialize early and I get my bitcoin "
___________________ End of message_______________________________________

Now, what strikes me as strange is the fact I ordered last night (Tuesday) and the message says my order is already packed on on the way to the postbox. Then it says "I can only send your shipping when you finalize early and I get my coin"

Does not make sense, unless my order, is wrapped, addressed, (and its tracked also, can you do that at night in Germany?) So - if I don't pay, then what? Its not posted? Wrapping taken off?

I want an encrypted message before I release funds. Maybe releasing funds is how the hack also works.

The vendor is atlas2012, fair trade hash. May be genuine, a message written in haste, and under the circumstances, I need a heart to heart with the tech guru who ordered way back for Christmas. Other people I know order now for Christmas! What is it with English people and the last minute buying of the Christmas and New Year stash? lol.

Anyhow, lets hope the SR team get on top of this. Sorry if I seem blase about this but I really hope the customers here are not seeing funds stolen.

Also, it would be foolish to order something right now as giving out your addy, during any hack, its unwise.

Good luck everyone, and looks like the SR tech team gonna earn their coin getting this one sorted out!

May be nothing, but would I leave thousands of dollars in a compromised site? No.

So, should I finalize? And if something is on the way to the post box,and someone is asking to pay before its posted, is this actually showing a lack of social graces? Not sure right now - I'm not a vendor but I guess many might ask for finalize right now as if funds in escrow can be grabbed, that would a LOT of coin go and a lot of people pissed off for Christrmas!

I know a vendor here but he/she will be asleep. Not sure how they will deal with this.

On a bright note I'm on double time and got a bonus in my work but we sorted the problem in a few mins and are now talking about 'the SR hack' and have emailed a few people we know are naive enough to release funds to this 'quick buy'. We found some coffee and are currently smoking some hash. Still dark outside but we can see the distant glow of a major city.

Good luck all.

Hope my order gets through, I always have a fine selection of hash at Christmas, usually go to Hiolland and stuff an ounce, of bits and pieces of top hash and use stealth methods to bring it across the border.

Down my underpants.

 ;D

We only get fined if caught.

But now, we post and never lost anything also.

Going to Holland soon anyway, love the Grey Area unless they gone commercial. Go to mostly Dutch and a few Morrocan cafes off the beatemn track. All owned by someone called Mohammed! At least its easy to remember the names of the cafe or shishka bars and cafes.

Hope nobody gets hit too hard.

In some ways, I admire the skills, but stealing off people, its actually wrong and those trying to seperate our coin from us all are not very nice people.

Will be on this first thing in the morning, we are calling it a day now but book in to 6.30am. Back up at 10am! Ah well, fuck it, tghis weekend I got some mdma and lsd. Cannot wait! Hope all is well with SR by tomorrow.

Red.

Private Listings seem to be unaffected by the hack and the site is working properly, other than the shipping and images. I still will ask for early finalization, just to be safe, but if you look at my vendor page, you'll feel very secure in doing that. As soon as the order is finalized, you can know that it will go out as soon as possible. Right now, as a test, I'll be offering 1/8 and 1/4 oz listings.

1/8

1/4

Lastly, I encourage people to stop freaking out. DPR is the man.

this is atlas2012,

I wrote this message to my clients who ordered today.
Your shipping was already processed, and in my to-go-bag. then I discovered the hack and decided not to send all orders without fe.
And yes, its already wrapped. and if no fe, I would have to unwrap it...

I have so many coins in escrow, that I cannot risk any more.
If sr get hacked completely, all my winnings would be lost. an my serious work here would be for nothing.

please understand my point. for you as customer, its only about one order.
we as vendors have many many orders in escrow and are much more concerned about the safety-status of sr than you can possibily imagine.

but I am sorry for irritating you with that message.

check out my reviews and forum. I will not rip anyone. not my style.
peace and love to the sr stuff,

Why not just move your coins to a wallet on your P.C.? I would never leave my coins sitting in my SR wallet, in case anything ever happens. I only transfer coins to my SR wallet when making a purchase.

I am talking about the coins which are in escrow until the customer "finalises" his order.
these coins, cannot be transfered to another wallet (until finalise).

I can confirm that private listings do not work. The only other way that I can see would be to send the coins directly, via user name or btc address and send the address as a message. At this point, btc address would be much safer. This is against site rules and would normally get you banned, but I doubt that DPR would ban anyone who did that during this time. Obviously, it's also risky for buyers, but that risk would be up to them.

I just wanted to say that I deposited money into SR today and it took 1.5 hours to get from instawallet to SR (which is the usual amount it takes for me to get a deposit on SR), so no worries there. I just placed an order and had no problems. I wouldn't panic and start cancelling orders and withdrawing all your BTC just yet. Everything seems fine. The vendor I just bought from had their most popular listings compromised by the hackers watermark (and the shipping options disappeared), but either they or the SR admins fixed something, because the shipping options reappeared and the watermark disappeared and I was able to order like normal.

I have a theory that "Fuck DPR" is some fat 16 year old kid who tried to order off of SR but his mom opened his mail and grounded him. He got angry at the vendor for not giving him a refund afterwards, and now spends his days on the computer in the basement, hating on SR and eating Doritos.

We went ahead and added additional listings without pictures - maybe that will work until the problem is resolved completely.  We have been able to get orders, but keep having to add the postage options back on.  If any of our clients are concerned that their order may not have been received, PM us and we will let you know.

This sounds like a mass assignment attack, rather than SQL injection, IMO. The attacker could simply have an item of their own with zero postage options, then changes the victim's item's foreign key to point to his own postage options, all by simply changing the POST params.
