Perhaps there's a memory leak in their crappy database software, making it accept longer passwords than what their plainshit database's glory hole can handle. So of course I put in a super fucking long password, telling them that their database is shit (: hopefully I was able to nuke a little bit of their crap like that :3

@xzvf Meh, perhaps an sqlmap but I don't really want to get too much into potential legal trouble. Mind you, while I (being an actual sysadmin) would only be extremely curious as to how someone hacked my servers and how I can fix it, especially the incompetent ones among sysadmins get condemning very quickly (case in point, my previous school's IT chaps). Because the alternative would be to admit that they created an insecure system. Not a shame in any way IMO, but for some it apparently is. Depends on the shitadmin level I guess... Oh well.
Seriously, fuck that incompetent ISP of mine.
Stores passwords in fucking plaintext. Does VoIP calling in plaintext! Passwords are sent over postal mail! Passwords are at least not sent in plain via email anymore when you want to reset them. The password reset form, "cannot contain `", "cannot contain "", "cannot contain '", "must contain a special character" because why the fuck not mess with people's password manager's password generation function over our own incompetence, right?! And showing all those errors for a single password? Eh, no. Let's just show one error that applies to whatever password you've given at that time. JUST ONE, because "reasons"! And to top it all off, when I finally made myself a nice password with some padding to remove unwanted chars and put that in my password store and on the website. THE BLOODY THING CAN'T EVEN FUCKING LOGIN?!
Now I ain't no ISP, but being a sysadmin clearly isn't a requirement when you're going to apply for work at an ISP, THAT DOES NOTHING BUT FUCKING SYSADMIN STUFF!!! Incompetent pieces of SHIT!!!
