I am really bummed this is no longer available / supported.  I have been using it with GREAT success on my site for some time. I appreciate the hard work you put into it...  in fact, I THINK - I paid for it.   :)  If not, let me know! (UPDATE: I found no record of it - so I made a small donation!)

THAT being said.  I recently had someone come to my forum and post A BUNCH of images with VERY long file names.  He did NOT use the


--- --- [attach=x][/attach]

brackets.

His file names, which MAY just be Russian words in converted html entities, look like this.....

ПОЕЗДКА в вырицу август 2006 057.jpg

That is ONE attachment.

1. I am unsure why the Russian characters were translated like that - does SMF automatically do that?

2. is it POSSIBLE this is hacking attempt of some kind?  I AM encrypting file names...  if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance for any comments / thoughts / suggestions.

Doesn't look like a hacking attempt to me - if it was, the filenames would probably be crafted to include shellcode, and be a lot longer. Look how the numbers are very close and vary just a bit, that looks like letters from an alphabet to me; shellcode would have much more variance.

As to why the filenames are encoded as they are, dunno - it's probably the safest best, as there's so much that can go wrong when you're trying to use unicode/utf-8 filenames; not all system support it, and even if the OS + filesystem supports it, if a piece of software "in the chain" doesn't, you'll get really funny results :)

note that since this mod was taken off the smf site, someone else has created and is actively maintaining an independently developed alternative mod for doing the same thing: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1000

MatthewSchenker:
mouser,
Thanks for the information.  I found your modification and re-installed it on my forum.
That new modification doesn't work like yours does!  With yours, I am able to go in and customize the pull-down menu, which is great.
Thanks for all your terrific work!
