Captain Coal Attack
A Captain Coal Attack also known as a CCA is a type of rare but gemmy raiding tactic used on altchans where the attacker will login using the Vichan/Tinyboard default login as an attempt to get admin powers on the said chan. This was popularized by Captain Coal himself who got into an admin account on the Sharty in 2021.
Method[edit | edit source]
Step 1[edit | edit source]
Find the imageboard of your choice, It's highly suggested you find either a new or dead imageboard as it's extremely rare that a popular imageboard will have the default logins in place. You can also find many imageboards by Google dorking.
Step 2[edit | edit source]
Check at the bottom of the page, If it says something along the lines of
Tinyboard Copyright © 2010-2014 Tinyboard Development Group
vichan Copyright © 2012-2025 vichan-devel
Then congratulations, You have a compatible imageboard that can be CCAed.
Step 3[edit | edit source]
Navigate to the login page which is almost always /mod.php
. For an example, The login page for jannies and mediators is also the same https://soyjak.st/mod.php.
Step 4[edit | edit source]
Username | |
Password | |
Continue
|
Above is a general representation of what an average Vichan login screen should look like. For Username, literally just enter admin
and for Password, enter in password
Step 5[edit | edit source]
You're probably wondering why you haven't made it to Step 5 which if you have, congratulations you should buy a lottery ticket! The chances of a working CCA is around 1-5% on average [it just is, ok?] so that chances you've made it this far is extremely slim. Now you have full site access including the mod panel. You can add new boards, see user's IP addresses and even ban, autosage and do pretty much anything an administrator can do.
Fun things to do after a successful CCA attack[edit | edit source]
- Delete all boards and add /markiplier/ or some other gemmy board like /soy/
- Delete troony threads
- Expose different troon's IP addresses publicly
- LARP as a different admin and say thing that would get them fired
- Give random people janny powers
- Ban random people for no reason to create seethe
