Title: OpenEx to be shut down[Hacked]
Post by: r3wt on March 10, 2014, 12:05:47 AM
3/25/14 UPDATE
THIS IS  A FINAL NOTICE WITHDRAW YOUR COINS IMMEDIATELY(BEFORE 3/27/14 11pm UTC) OR YOU WILL FORFEIT THEM. Take note of any debt repayment codes credited to you in the "funds owed" tab of your account page. These will be redeemable when the new exchange is launched.

Thanks,
         Garrett

3/20/14 UPDATE
ATTENTION:

my cellphone quit working, and i cannot login to my normal email account(the one used for support) which is protected by 2fa. so in the meantime,if you need to contact with me about anything support related, please use the following email address


admin @ openex.pw



3/19/14 UPDATE
PLEASE READ THIS IMMEDIATELY.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=508674.msg5788345#msg5788345

3/17/14 UPDATE

You have until 3/27/14 to withdraw all funds. if you choose not to, you are surrendering these funds.

Repayment System Complete. Details:

ok, the new system is up a few things to take note of:

withdrawals process normally, until a situation is encountered where there is not enough in the wallet to pay a withdrawal. in this situation, 10% of the withdrawal is paid, and the remaining 90% is placed in the funds owed table. from the user account page, you will see a new tab that says funds owed. in this tab you will find an explanation for everything, and a table containing:

coin | amount owed | confirmation code

you will be required to copy your confirmation codes. when you sign up for the new site, in the account page you will see a link to claim your confirmation codes. after a code is verified, a share is issued for the amount you are owed of a particular currency. this share will either be paid on a daily or weekly basis, probably daily just to keep you happy. each payout will subtract from the remaining debt. once the debt reaches 0, the share will expire, as you have been paid in full amount of what you are owed. i know this is a terrible inconvenience and many people will probably not be happy with it, but something is better than nothing and this is the best possible way of us to settle our debts with our customers.

if you have any questions or concerns, please continue to voice them in this thread, and i will answer you in due time. i check this thread for new replies several times per day.

thanks,
          Garrett



Police Situation
The police have been contacted, but have yet to do anything. Server company is not answering requests for reverse proxy logs. For the time being we are assuming all responsibility for the loss.



Future of OpenEx

OpenEx will return to operations once the Luapod (http://luapod.tk) platform is complete. All debts owed to customers will carry over to the new system, where you will be able to retrieve your "debt share" by providing your confirmation code. It is not necessary to sign up with the same account name or email address, however doing so would be advantageous in the event a dispute arises over the ownership of a "debt share".



We will entertain and discuss any other questions, especially those of customers.



Other Information
BCX is a troll. he knows damn well i'm not hydroponica, he just loves stirring the pot.

evidence?/??

what like the cold storage and master accounts to prove i had nothing to do with it:

COLD(rec'd : 68.92 BTC)
https://blockchain.info/address/1JDo3Nws2X2A7ictiXAX7cmeYFuKYkVuWn


MASTER(rec'd : 66.61 BTC)
https://blockchain.info/address/19TKnov5V2XVrWQ8K5ei2Y7EzzaeMXARSd


and the payout log:

FEE SHARES SCRATCH PAD::->

FIRST PAYOUT

Total   0.795444697264894
staff   0.47726681835894 -- Paid
shares   0.15908893945298 -- UNPAID
site   0.15908893945298 -- Spent on Doge


SECOND PAYOUT


Total   0.31044333542066
staff   0.1862660012524 -- Paid
shares   0.062088667084132 -- UNPAID
site   0.062088667084132 -- Spent on doge

THIRD PAYOUT

wasn't payed out because of hack we are in no position to take money, but it was around .41

<-X
In addition some btc was used to buy coins at cryptsy(doge and 42), and some SKC & BLC @ (atomic trade), however 1.4 btc remains in the cold storage wallet, albeit it is tucked safely at other addresses. this means we are pretty damn near not a satoshi missing on our end.
The next step is notifying the police with all of this information as well as the server logs. something tell me this guy may have made a mistake and he will be caught. even if he is not, we will settle with the customers. we have yet to reach a consensus on the manner of repayment, but like poloniex we will settle with the customers. the website will be down for some months while we continue to work on LUAPOD and a open source rails project we are looking at. however, just as we have always been open and honest we will continue to remain transparent. we may have failed at this point but we are optimistic that we can still right the ship by doing the right thing.

What's to respond to?  You updated your client and they're gone?  Bullshit.  It wasn't much BTC, but choke on it anyway bitch.

why would i lie at this point? you really think i'm getting anything out of this? you're sadly mistaken, every ounce of energy i've put into this project is all for naught. i'm broke, soon to be homeless, probably will be sued and you think i'd have the audacity to come here and lie to your face? i'm telling you straight up, i just plain do not know what happened. if you want to try and work with me on it, or give me the chance to atleast state my case then please come back off the ledge. i will pay everyone out to the best of my ability and thats all i can do. can't you try to see it from my perspective?

Title: Re: OpenEx to be shut down
Post by: Stouse49 on March 10, 2014, 06:47:23 AM
Hydroponica was from the good old days of crypto-mania, when you could make more profit mining bitcoin off a graphics card than litecoin or any of the new litecoin clones.  It was a time before ASIC farms and when Silk Road was still online.  It was a time when you could go to the Newbie section and find out about the latest ready to insta-mine clones before the rest of the real members.

Hydroponica was a mean, yet humorous fellow, who hated some of those new coins, then made two of them on his own: Mastercoin and GIL.  Mastercoin is still traded at Cryptsy, but is not the other newer Mastercoin.

He was last seen replying in October 2013 to his own reputation thread regarding the 33% interest rate he had to pay on some BTC loans.

Quick question though, does this mean openex in its entirety will become opensource? I think that if you did that, then all your contributions wont be for naught.

isn't leaving the repo up just opening the doors for more people to make exchanges that can easily be hacked, thus causing even more people to be fucked out of their coins? that's something i don't want on my conscience. maybe if i was an experienced developer and the code was secure, which we all know it isn't. does that make sense?

The next step is notifying the police with all of this information as well as the server logs. something tell me this guy may have made a mistake and he will be caught. even if he is not, we will settle with the customers. we have yet to reach a consensus on the manner of repayment, but like poloniex we will settle with the customers in some way or form that involves us paying back the customer in the full amount. the website will be down for some months while we continue to work on LUAPOD and a open source rails project we are looking at. however, just as we have always been open and honest we will continue to remain transparent. we may have failed at this point but we are optimistic that we can still right the ship by doing the right thing.

I personally would put a lawyer on this case if i lost more than a few btc on your website unless you are anonymous or operate with a LLC. Beside i wouldnt just wait for you to pay your debts (how can you guarantee that you are able to?).

I think you misunderstand the definition of responsibility. If you didnt insured your business you are responsible for theft. You cant blame the thieve if you made a mistake by yourself (security and limited personal liquidity) or at least underestimated the risk envolved.

Nevertheless i hope people get their money back and wish you luck.

Last time you got hacked, you got the btc back somehow. Its kinda hard to believe you were not prepared for this kind of sql injection.

I paid Justin 600 bucks on Jan 4 for building a custom client to promote some coin but never got anything.

Anyway, I hope I can get part of the btc invested with openex back

well yeah, read the pm i sent you. we are not defaulting on any obligation. we just can't take customer money to pay you back because you decided you don't want your feeshares anymore. also, i am not responsible for justin. he is not a founder or participant in the company. he is a dev, that is his extent of involvement.

How can you "proof" you were not involved ? Its impossible, just like it is to prove you are involved. You took the risk and are legally responsible for your debts right?

I guess when its gets to hot you magically receive the btc's back again so there is some hope at least.

what like the cold storage and master accounts to prove i had nothing to do with it:

COLD(rec'd : 68.92 BTC)
https://blockchain.info/address/1JDo3Nws2X2A7ictiXAX7cmeYFuKYkVuWn


MASTER(rec'd : 66.61 BTC)
https://blockchain.info/address/19TKnov5V2XVrWQ8K5ei2Y7EzzaeMXARSd

How is this proof at all?  There were no large withdrawals from either of those accounts in recent days.

FYI r3wt is an admitted scammer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=231217.0

Associating him with Hydroponica isn't necessary.  He's got a ruined enough reputation on his own.

WRT liability you were a one man operation that just recently registered an LLC.  The servers, the code, everything was in your personal name.  You're 100% personally liable.  Even if you'd had an LLC from the start you'd still be liable because of your gross negligence.  Your site was hacked how many times?  And you kept it up?  With no warnings to depositors?  Yeah, you're personally liable.  It's a good thing you're 14 and probably can't be held responsible for your stupidity.

Oh no guys, we got a 14 year old terrible programmer admitted scammer business failure gangster.  I'd add neckbeard but he probably hasn't hit puberty yet.  Better tread lightly!

But to stay on topic his "proof" proves nothing.  In fact it proves the opposite.  There were no large transfer out in recent days so where was the theft?  Scammers always be scamming, I feel sorry for anyone that got their coins stolen by r3wt.

Are you sure?

A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation where the operator, an individual or organization, pays returns to its investors from new capital paid to the operators by new investors, rather than from profit earned by the operator. Operators of Ponzi schemes usually entice new investors by offering higher returns than other investments, in the form of short-term returns that are either abnormally high or unusually consistent.

Unless you were last in line and everyone else received its money back you really can't say this is trust worthy. Right on this moment the guy can't pay its debts and depends on new "investors" to pay back everyone, right?

For this person, i have not a single good word. He had the chance to change his behaviour multiple times, but didn't. Check this (from: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=231217.20):

i admit it. there was no hacker that hacked my account. i was trying to scam bdub and got caught.extortion was my account too and so was wikileaks lover. all i can say is that i had zero bitcoins and felt like i was never going to get any going around to the faucets everyday collecting bitcents. good thing i got out of the scamming business, i would have never made any btc if i had continued down that path. i apologize for my trespass and accept the scamtag for being untrustworthy on multiple occasions.

people i scammed/tried to scam
bdub .01 btc(extortion account)--never collected
igotspots .4 btc(gascoin)--unpaid, working on mining .4 btc to repay him
microguy 6500 gld(gld faucet)--repaid
Vlad2Vlad 100k NUG's(tried to take them from him)--returned and apologized
garr255(bid one of his auctions to 50,000 usd on bitmit and cancelled the orders)--apologized

To everyone: history repeats itself. Believe what you want  ;)


Here's a quote from that same thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=231217.msg3838961#msg3838961

I don't think your rep on here is very tarnished.  You really only "scammed" people who were trying to make shit coins to rip other people off... and you paid them all back.

You are good in my book, I just like bustin' your balls.





You were correct about history repeating itself. you're just the same scammers, trying harder than ever to discredit me. i love my haters, you make me stronger :)

For those wanting to sue him here's the information from the Arkansas Secretary of State for OpenEx, LLC:

http://www.sos.arkansas.gov/corps/search_corps.php?DETAIL=415974&corp_type_id=&corp_name=openex&agent_search=&agent_city=&agent_state=&filing_number=&cmd=

The name and addresses matches the one on OpenEx's about page.  Surely he wouldn't be stupid enough to use his home address but the address is a 1BD residence.  Probably a rental though since according to Zillow the last time it was bought was in 1994 for $6,000 and r3wt wasn't even alive then.

Yes, we sent you a portion of what you are owed. this means you are still owed .42

in case you aren't aware, we were hacked, so its impossible for us to payout everyones withdrawals at this time, but we make an effort not to cheat anyone. we send what we can, and keep track of what we still owe. we are working on a plan to repay everyone, if a payment plan doesnt satisfy you there are legal avenues which you could pursue.

Has anyone heard from the OP lately? Thanks :)

Yes, i'm still here. if you need to contact me directly, send me an email at admin@openex.pw for a way to contact me directly via Skype.

ok, there is an update on the situation in regards to customer funds owed. please see my last few tweets

https://twitter.com/_OpenEx_

the site will restore from maintenance soon.

the first step is to setup the system to store the amounts owed. the second step is to complete a display for the users of what they are owed. these will both be done today, and we will begin processing bitcoin withdrawals again.

the manner in which you will receive your funds owed is as followed:

you will receive a confirmation code for each balance you are owed. on the new platform, you will enter the confirmation code and the info will be retrieved for our debt with you.

Post by: r3wt on March 18, 2014, 01:26:04 AM
ok, the new system is up a few things to take note of:

withdrawals process normally, until a situation is encountered where there is not enough in the wallet to pay a withdrawal. in this situation, 10% of the withdrawal is paid, and the remaining 90% is placed in the funds owed table. from the user account page, you will see a new tab that says funds owed. in this tab you will find an explanation for everything, and a table containing:

coin | amount owed | confirmation code

you will be required to copy your confirmation codes. when you sign up for the new site, in the account page you will see a link to claim your confirmation codes. after a code is verified, a share is issued for the amount you are owed of a particular currency. this share will either be paid on a daily or weekly basis, probably daily just to keep you happy. each payout will subtract from the remaining debt. once the debt reaches 0, the share will expire, as you have been paid in full amount of what you are owed. i know this is a terrible inconvenience and many people will probably not be happy with it, but something is better than nothing and this is the best possible way of us to settle our debts with our customers.

if you have any questions or concerns, please continue to voice them in this thread, and i will answer you in due time. i check this thread for new replies several times per day.

thanks,

An update on the situation.

found account attempting to withdraw a small sum of btc. checking the account showed the following information(balance of 16+ btc, but deposit of only .05. this means the vuln was probably the tx id bug, just a dormant account the hacker planned to drain at a later date in time. there still was a separate attack of the withdrawal queue with fictious withdrawals that occurred the day i announced closing the exchange. it looks like that was an isolated incident now, but i'm still not 100% sure yet:

its nothing special about 12 lines of code really. here' ill get it for you.


Code:
/**(c)2013-14 Justin Gillett, OpenEx.pw -- All Rights Reserved.**/
require_once("../models/config.php");
include("../models/class.trade.php");
$sell = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM trades WHERE `From`<>`Type` LIMIT 1000000000000");
$num = mysql_num_rows($sell);
echo $num;
for ($i = 0; $i < $num; $i++) {
   $id = mysql_result($sell,$i,"Id");
   if($id != 0)
   {
                //the actual trade execution
$trade = new Trade($id);
$trade->GetEquivalentTrade();
$trade->ExecuteTrade();
   }
}

to run it, simply use a shell script(this example runs on 1 second intervals @ roughly 280 mb/s):

Code:
#!/bin/bash
while :

do
sleep 1
 wget http://127.0.0.1/path/to/system/cronjob1.php -O Temp --delete-after

I know firsthand how horrible it can be to lose your coins.  You guys can put 2 and 2 together on your own.  r3wt said himself that he was once a bottomfeeder and "knows" a scam when he sees one. 

I wish the best to all of you.

I've been trading at Atomic-Trade recently.  They have an extended SSL certificate.  Coinbase doesn't even have one.

The owner is actually a nice/honest guy too, and he has regular security audits done to ensure his customer's safety.  Here is the most recent one:

Here's what really bugs me.  r3wt said that whoever stole the btc basically just added 0's to the txid's, allowing for multiple withdrawals.  His system apparently strips the zeros.

Why did it not check for duplicate txid's AFTER the 0's were stripped?  This wouldn't take much.

Also, the withdrawal portion is missing from the pastbin r3wt has provided.

Here is a link http://pastebin.com/vzZN6eQu

Here's what really bugs me.  r3wt said that whoever stole the btc basically just added 0's to the txid's, allowing for multiple withdrawals.  His system apparently strips the zeros.

Why did it not check for duplicate txid's AFTER the 0's were stripped?  This wouldn't take much.

Also, the withdrawal portion is missing from the pastbin r3wt has provided.

Here is a link http://pastebin.com/vzZN6eQu

Looks like an inside job to me.

justin gillet wrote that particular part. why don't you ask him.

here's the code in question:

Code:
if(isset($_POST["fchk"])) {
if(isUserAdmin($id00)) {
if($_POST["Transaction_Id"] != NULL && $_POST["Coin"] != NULL) {
$tid = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST["Transaction_Id"]));
$coin = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST["Coin"]));
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Wallets WHERE `Acronymn`='$coin'");
$id = @mysql_result($sql,0,"Id");

$sql2 = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM deposits WHERE `Transaction_Id`='$tid' AND `Coin`='$coin'");
$id2 = @mysql_result($sql2,0,"id");
$paid = @mysql_result($sql2,0,"Paid");
$wallet = new Wallet($id);
$trans = @$wallet->gettransaction($tid);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($trans);
echo '</pre>';
if($trans != null) {
if(is_array($trans)) {
if(in_array("Invalid or non-wallet transaction id", $trans,true)) {

echo "non wallet transaction id or invalid tx";
}else{
$account = $trans["details"][0]["account"];
$category = $trans["details"][0]["category"];
$confirms = $trans["confirmations"];
$amount = $trans["amount"];
if($id2 != NULL) {
if($paid == 0) {
if($category == "receive" && $confirms > 3 && $account != "")
{
mysql_query("UPDATE deposits SET `Paid`='1' WHERE `id`='$id2'");
AddMoney($amount, $account, $coin);
echo $amount." ".$coin." was credited to your account";
}
}else{

r3wt has yet to show ANY proof whatsoever that there was a theft.  He claims 34 BTC were taken.  So, where are the transactions in the blockchain?  Not some internal accounting, not a copy+paste on pastebin, actual verifiable transactions.  If there was a theft, there are transactions.  Period.

there wasn't a theft of 34 btc, nor did i ever claim it. just a 34 btc discrepancy. fuck off.

I'm confused, r3wt.

If you made both of those post in which one claim coins were stolen and the other denies it, then which ever one you own up to, the other proves you to be a liar.  How is that being a troll? Sounds like solid and legitimate question to me.

First of all, I'm sorry for the attitude i have been giving people. this is a very stressful people for everyone involved with OpenEx, customers included. We are working on sorting out exactly how much coin left the exchange which was not supposed to. This is where the confusion lies. We are not going anywhere, and we fully plan on paying all customers which have been wronged. Once again, i apologize for this entire mess. It appears that less coin than originally we thought has been stolen, but there has been coin stolen. It just wasn't as cut and dry as a straight up server break in or RPC vulnerability.

We will post an update on 3/27/14.

34 BTC
Called out on it, cannot provide any evidence.

Some amount, I'm not sure how much.

Less than one bitcoin.

Pretty sure tomorrow he'll say nothing was lost.  If we hadn't kept up the pressure he would have just walked away with everyone's funds.  Amazing.

I am working with r3wt to find out exactly how much BTC was stolen. Yes, we are still unsure of the exact amount and no amount of trolling is going to change this, the only thing we can do at this point is keep plugging away at working on the site.
ATTENTION:
If you have an account at OpenEX which had coins in it, PLEASE Login and attempt a withdrawal of any coins which are in your account. There are still many coins in wallets.

Wasn't the code just the UI, not the trade engine?

The injection query was entered in the UI form. A form is a form.

The problem happened because the backend php code just took that malicious query and ran it.

The database code was written unsafely, the door was left wide open,  I'm suprised it didn't get taken sooner.

It should have been coded using PDO prepared statements.

If they used old school straight sql queries then I would think that many other doors and windows were open. I'll bet the sessions weren't safe from fixation etc.

Mine too. My ATC ( therealaltcoin.org (http://therealaltcoin.org) ) withdrawal went through quickly back when we were first told to withdraw funds. My BTC withdrawal, made at the same time, at first didn't go through. It eventually showed up on the 18th -- I just noticed it today.

I don't think r3wt is a scammer, and I appreciate getting my money out, but I would not trust funds to this site or his future sites because of the way this one was compromised. For ATC-BTC trading (and Litecoin and Namecoin), I've switched to and recommend x-bt.com (http://x-bt.com) which has been solid so far and seems to have better technology/skills behind it. Discussion on IRC at #altcoin and #x-bt.

But now that you mention it...any security whizzes here are looking at a real business opportunity. Long-term, of course, because the real money won't be made unless the mega-exchanges sign on for "Good Housekeeping Seal Of Approval" PR purposes...

1: R3wt openly admits to working with former NSA on the new exchange.. WTF if he beleives this hes a moron. Worse yet he would work with a FED!


2: R3wt  Begs Justin to build him a trade engine because he doesn't know how to.... It looks like R3wt is trying to hide Justin under the name mBlanchard.

Please refresh my memory isn't Justin the same (Cat) R3wt tried to pin the bad code and hack on ?  Yes it is, WTFF !


3: R3wt  Openly admits hes going to build another half ass trade engine Using python he knows nothing about.

Doing more searching  haha https://twitter.com/_LuaPod_ Rewt wants Justins code. Looks like a internal dispute going on.
You know its bad when Justin doesn't even want anything to do with R3wt.
Theres some real f%CKED uped stuff going on here maybe one of you guys can figure it out.....

Make sure you guys spread this on other forums so no one else get screwed on this new pos he cooking up.

Ohhh wait there is more I copied the full conversation to a .txt file just encase they try to wipe the log.   http://snk.to/f-cdhfbilj

The problem is not the fact that the exchange is small (they all have to start somewhere, right ?) but don't trade your coins on exchanges where it's clear the owner/dev doesn't know what he's really doing. The twitter feed provides and provided enough clues that indeed he doesn't.

No problem, all it needs is some penetration testers and your good to go.  The MySQL injection was bad but as your coding you need someone to test it, if you are one individual it's going to be extremely hard to cover every area of security.

Post by: markm on March 29, 2014, 10:32:51 PM
MySQL injection is not "bad", it is a deliberate excuse for people to lose their money.

It is deliberate because only by deliberately refusing to address the simplest most basic aspects of web app programming can it even become at all possible.

It is pretty much impossible to study how secure financial apps on the web are built without learning how NOT to make SQL injection possible, thus the only way to make it possible is to deliberately refuse to actually do secure web app development, instead opting to just spam out any garbage that looks pretty enough to sucker people into putting money into it so you can steal it and pretend it was someone else not yourself who stole it.

Any research at all into how to actually not steal people's money in web apps would cover MySQL injection.

So obviously the programmer knew full well what it was and how to prevent it and chose instead to make it possible.

It is not a "mistake", it is one of the first things anyone researching MySQL + Web apps is told to prevent and how to prevent.

Thus there is probably no point even trying to "help" the perpetrator make a secure system since it is already more than obvious that they WANT there to be a way to hack, because they WANT something to point to as an "explanation" of how it could theoretically not have been an inside job.

No matter how many exploits you explain how to prevent, they will find another one, or will pretend to have made a silly error in implementing what you explained, or whatever they can do to create a loophole they can point to so as to pretend it is not them who is stealing people's coins.

Remember too this is a serial scammer/thief, gosh knows how many times over already.

MySQL injection is not "bad", it is a deliberate excuse for people to lose their money.

It is deliberate because only by deliberately refusing to address the simplest most basic aspects of web app programming can it even become at all possible.

It is pretty much impossible to study how secure financial apps on the web are built without learning how NOT to make SQL injection possible, thus the only way to make it possible is to deliberately refuse to actually do secure web app development, instead opting to just spam out any garbage that looks pretty enough to sucker people into putting money into it so you can steal it and pretend it was someone else not yourself who stole it.

Any research at all into how to actually not steal people's money in web apps would cover MySQL injection.

So obviously the programmer knew full well what it was and how to prevent it and chose instead to make it possible.

R3wt has said time and time again Justin hacked the servers/Wrote shit code,
but yet the whole time he was just hiding under the name mblanchard Working with R3wt.
I have seen the name Mblanchard  in openEx chat and was listed as a dev since the beginning.
this whole thing was a scam.

There has to be a way to stop this guy from releasing another exchange!

I think you made an incorrect call here.

If it were a scam then you wouldn't be in discourse with him, the line would be dead. Scammers don't hang around expending energy to placate their marks.

We have seen (since your post) that @sumantso has withdrawn and regained his coin.

Withdraw all your coins? The compensation?


Be hardly worthy of belief, is this true?

You said it best. Getting hacked is just a lame excuse to steal people funds. It's so easy to say
I was hacked.

Yes, and that won't change while almost everyone here is ready to throw coins at yet another exchange without doing any due diligence whatsoever. In the meantime https://x-bt.com (https://x-bt.com) has been running for almost a year without any incident, check it out if you want to trade serious altcoins.

Every single customer should have received an email notice about the "forfeiture" of coins. Sorry about the hack, but your lack of communication will forever keep me away from any of your future endeavors. You are as good as a scammer in my book, whether you started out with that intent or not.
