re: I wonder why nobody believes AU on the Rashaan Evans bio hack?

You should believe it as it is often not difficult to do. Also beside this board, who does not believe it?

There are two forms of hacking, one is to take over an entire site. The other was page hacking which is what occurred here.

You create a page such as
s://rivals.yahoo.com/Auburn/football/recruiting/rankings/2014

If you change the last number to 2013 or 2015, if the page is there but not published you may be able to see it.

Basically Auburn numbered their commitments and they believed RE would be one of them. Someone changed the number and with the speed of the internet it was out there.

That is not hacking and you cannot see an unpublished page unless you are on AUs intranet which I assume members of the media are not. If you load a page you don't want people to see to a live web server you're an idiot
