All this hacking nonsense...

[-Techie-]

I have heard over a few days of the so called hacking going on in neopets. As text based mmorpg programmer I have to be a master at php and mySQL. The real danger with neopets isn’t the bruteforce or the little script kiddies stealing accounts; it is the big kids Minipulating php and mySQL strings to access the database. I was curious so I tested a few scripts on neopets and all but one failed, the one that diddnt is a small thing called javascript. Yes, I said it javascript. There are ways to acess and or alter database info. Btw I am pretty sure neopets uses unix platform database. Which in this case is easier to exploit. I DO NOT want to hack neopets But protect them. There site has a large security hole in the petcentral and neomail pages. I was also wondering where I could report this to neopets. Ty,

I would guess using one of the contact us forms, or try sending a bug report. I'm not really sure where else you could send the information, unless you plan to try snail mailing them.

Maybe someone else will have a better suggestion for you.

Try calling the office and giving the person who answers a reasonable explanation of your phonecall. Stating your not in anyway a crazed fan would be a good idea. Good luck!.

You might want to send a PM to dolphinling. He's worked with TNT recently about some holes in security and may have an idea of how to better get TNT's attention and get your info directed to the right person.
