Warning: eregi(): REG_BADRPT in /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/nuke/includes/sentinel.php on line 190

Every once in a while I receive this error message on the ban page across the top of the page. (Above the Sentinel Protected Banner)

It also lists the date blocked as:

Date Blocked: 1969-12-31 18:00:00

Heh, I was 6 years old back then.

Oh, yea. This is Sentinel version 2.0.0

There is a full path disclosure exploit that uses the Search module to expose your path, which you have done. This is the error that you will receive. Try entering ** or + in your Search box and see if that trioggers it. If not, then look at your server logs to see if someone is trying to use the Search module with some funky search strings. It is an exploit though and Sentinel is letting you know it Wink

I tried the "+" and the "**" in the search string and it didn't trigger the ban page. I was using a string exploit to verify the string I was tying to block was being banned. That is how I ended up on the ban page.

Since this is doing what is is supposed to do, I will ignore the issue.

I am still a little confused about the date. All the ban pages say the exact same date. Whether it's a Union attack, or string attack. The date never changes.

I believe that only happens on a windows server or possibly on a windows browser. I can't remember which. Try searching Google on the date. There's alot of discussion on it. To suppress the message on the browser, you might try placing an @ before eregi, as in @eregi on line 190.

I have a Linux server. But am using IE 6.

I think there is some type of code to put in the htaccess file to supress the file path and/or hide the php error code. I will just have to find it.

See this FAQ for suppressing certain types of warnings [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Using the @ sign is a different method for a different purpose Smile
