Alternatives to Comus Thumbs?
 

Does anyone have any alternatives to Comus thumbs?

I currently use them but they are a huge security risk with trojans being installed on my server via their updates etc.


Thanks.

thumbmanager.com

But ehh, where do I find more info on that security risk?

r u fucking serious??? how can they install a trojan on ur UNIX servah?

I want info on that risk 2!!!!

My host sent me the news about it. It could be just happening to my box, but thats enough for me to start looking at alternatives.

Augo Gallery SQL ... from JMB Soft

Worked great for me. And I happen to have a copy for sale. :winkwink: 155421

I think ur HOST is bullshiting u man! U scared me there for a second.

Yep, same here. The vulnerability he was talking about was fixed a long time ago...

Anyway, Thumbmanager is a very good alternative to Comus Thumbs.

nothing i've tried is better then comus, and it doesnt install a trojan but nice try.

Without a doubt they are not. My host is one of the few that actually gives two shits about security.

It was his knowledge and findings that got Tony to issue that emergancy security patch on May 23rd.

By the way the latest 2 trojans were the first to happen since before the last security patch, but both came in the lastest July 28th update.

Let me point out that I do love Comus. Great options and support. Tony does a first class job and in my opinon he sells the program way to cheap.

But my host is thinking about having me disable the program if these exploites keep being abused, so I need to find some backups soon as i rely on the script so hard for its daily updates.
