Wormux

  

Have the mascots of your favorite free software titles battle it out in the Wormux arena using dynamite, grenades, baseball bats and other bazookas...

Exterminate your opponent in a 2D environment with toon-style scenery.

Each player controls the team of his choice (penguin, gnu, firefox, wilber,...) and must destroy his adversary using more or less casual weapons.

Although a minimum of strategy is required to vanquish, Wormux is pre-eminently a "convivial mass murder" game where, turn by turn, each member of each team attempts to produce a maximum of damage to his opponents.

Wormux is free (under GPL license) and free (no cash).

Wormux team is proud to announce Wormux 0.8.5. We hope you will love this new release.

It seems that we still have some problems with registration

Mails are sent and received but I have been informed that some of you are not able to login even after clicking on the mail to validate your account...

Thus, I have validated accounts that were waiting validation! I hope it should be ok for us now and expect that the problem will be resolved soon.

PhpBoost is not acting correctly with our hosting server to send emails, the result is that member does not receive email to confirm the inscription and administrators have to validate each member account manually!

This is normally solved and all member accounts have been validated

As you probably knows, www.wormux.org website has been closed because of an intrusion. Wormux website was used to promote and sell warez softwares. It was used to send mails and also to host web pages.

No damage has been done visibly on the website, but we do not know yet how intruders enter and if they have accessed to the database. That's why we have decided to protect access of the website through .htaccess.

Since the beginning of last week, we have made copies of the full ftp and database contents, we have also made a static copy of the wiki using httrack.

We have discovered the following:

• directory www/php/soft was created the 29 Jan 2007 and contains 2 files: index.php and style.css. Both files was php files. Index.php made a require on Style.css that was calling a obfuscated php file stored in www/php/cache/.cache/.
• Other files in www/php/cache/.cache/ are html encrypted files. Most of the files in this directory were modified on 14 July 2009, without using a ftp access.
  

Lami, the first programmer of Wormux and the domain name owner, is currently inspecting all the files to find who is/are the intruders.

The ftp has been cleaned (all files has been removed) and the database has been cleared. Passwords have been changed of course. To allow easier update, we have decided to switch from mediawiki/dotclear/fluxbb to phpboost.

The website is currently under construction

During this time, game servers are still working. Have fun!

An update of game servers and index servers is currently in progress... I will update the post when finished

Edit (4/08/2009 23h36): after falling into several problems, the game servers and the index server are finally updated
