Kernel.org hacked

[karandpr]

It seems Team Enigma's(That means our team ) hopes for an AOSP Froyo(2.2.3) for 551 build has reached a halt .

The android git repo is offline for more than two days .

Turns out kernel.org is hacked .
Not much info is available it seems (Translation : I am to lazy to search beyond thirty pages in google )
Bummer .

From my understanding, the intruders got in using compromised user creds. They installed a trojan or two, and adding some rogue scripts to the start up scripts. It said they got caught because Xnest gave an error message either to or about /dev/mem or something like that. That server didn't have Xnest installed, so it was a give away. (this was what I remember from Ars. and the kernel.org site)

Any idea when the android git will be back up? I remember reading they thought as early as August 31, but that obviously didn't happen.

good luck on your development, hopefully this doesn't slow you down too much.

I was looking for the source as well - codeaurora.org keeps a mirror of the source. I was able to retrieve what I needed here: https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/quic/la/ .

cheers.
