Where are the iframe hack threads?

[alistairgd]

I've been searching for discussion regarding hackers dropping an iframe into the board footer, because I am sure I took part in such discussions years ago and I need to read it again. So far though, every thread I turn up is marked as "moved", and when you click it, it just refreshes to the main IPB forum index. For example the thread titled "Attack Of The Iframe Bandit!" does it.

Anyone know why this is happening, and more importantly - where I can find these discussions?

Thanks.

I don't know personally, but I'd guess it might have been made invisible for security reasons.

There have been topics on other forums about this subject, but I seem to remember they were either closed, or the discussion continued via PM. There was someone who claimed to have found a site containing information on this, which was found through a google search, but it was over a year ago, so what may have worked then may well not work now, at least on up to date boards.

I've heard of some admins making custom-bb tags where an iframe can be made... and what the exploit is that they stick in the post's own URL as the iframe URL... so it goes into infinite loop and crashes the browser.

This isn't really feedback about IPB..
