Glad I took a clone when I did. Shame the scripts can't be recovered, but at least there's a static copy of it.

I have a complete mirror of his webserver (I.e. source code, not wget pages). I have uploaded it to @piku's server a few weeks ago. If anyone wants to do help us out, feel free to reach me.

How you manage that? If it needs hosting I can do that no problem.

I have "worked around" Github security and got his ssh key.

Was his site loaded from github then? I scanned the site and git but assumed his site was hosted elsewhere.

[mikro]

No, it was done via exploiting his Github FreeMiNT membership.

Hosting is a secondary issue. The real question is what to do with that mirror. As we can see, it took only a couple of weeks before somebody hacked it, presumably via one of his PHP scripts. So it would require running in a sandbox or something equally secure. If someone is willing to get his hands dirty, let me know. It requires some admin / php knowledge to get right.

I could look into all that easy enough. Would be helpful if there was logs.

@mikro is it a private server as I can't find it anywhere.
