Well with this downtime ive had alot of free time(cleaned my room, moved my laptop, brushed up on hacking, built a cantenna etc).
One thing i also did was talk to someone about the why hackwars has a flaw that is critical to it.
1. The OS
From several nmap scans i beleieve the OS to be Ubuntu.
"80/tcp open http Apache httpd 2.2.4 ((Ubuntu) DAV/2 SVN/1.4.4 mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.1 PHP/5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3 mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8)" <-- quoted from nmap
You cant really tell which version of ubuntu it is, but you can have a pretty good guess. From the start the game is going to pretty much laggy same with the site (i know the game might not be hosted directly on this server), ubuntu 9.04 has a critical memory leak with caused one of the processes (Xorg) to continously eat idle cpu and looks like its trying to be have the most cpu all the time.
Ubuntu 8.10 also had a critical memory leak but was fixed with a community based patch though could still be achieved if a series of events happened.
A little further on in the scan i noticed the word vmware, i then noticed several microsoft based ports leading me to deduce that the computer is actually a Windows running vmware with ubuntu installed. Sounds pretty laggy and is though not much.
2. The Ports
First thing i look at is the ports, i even showed madeinqc because of how unbelievable this is. Took me two screen grabs to get the full list.

The two screen grabs are showing the list of ports detected by zenmap(nmap gui).
I list around 44 ports there, max id seen before for a gaming site was 20, and for a professional gaming site max i saw 10.
I was going to write a list of the ports they dont need, by looking them up half of them are test protocols, echo protocol is outdated, though filtered they can still be hacked
PS: ill happily accept proven wrong if they upload/install phpsysinfo.
And i might add to it later
Yes, most of those could
Yes, most of those could probably be turned off, probably down to 10, maybe 8 or so.
ive also seen mods say that
ive also seen mods say that its scary having half of them open/filtered
