OH MY JAPANESE CULTURE!!!! THIS IS JUST LIKE MY TRANIME GREENTEXT VIDEOS!!!!!! FUCK WOJACKSPAMMERS BTW I <3 LESBIAN HENTAI OF TWO DUDES DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU SUDE
The Great Cuckset (also known as the Cuckpocalypse,Liberation of /qa/ or the 'ack) refers to an event that started on April 14, 2025 (or April 15 depending on your time zone, it happened at midnight for AmeriGODS), where someone who later named himself S0I1337 (also known as Captain Gem) would hack into 4cuck and reopen /qa/,[1] leak the source code as well as the jannies' IPs, emails and hidden board. Two threads were stickied on /soy/ regarding this event.[2][3]
According to S0I1337, it was done by exploiting a vulnerability on 4chan's outdated GhostScript version from 2012 by uploading a malformed PostScript file renamed to PDF to gain arbitrary code execution, as 4chan didn't check if files with PDF extensions were actually PDF files, and not through social engineering, betrayal or SQL injection. It was also revealed that 4chan ran on FreeBSD 10.1, which went end-of-life in 2017,[4] outdated versions of nginx, PHP and MySQL and its source code was riddled with vulnerabilities; basically it was just waiting to be exploited. The servers were physically shut down to prevent further mining of the databases after a few minutes, although it's unknown at the moment how much was successfully downloaded from 4cuck's servers.
The hacker successfully leaked:
4chan's source code, including a 10,403 line PHP file called imgboard.php, all of which can be found here. On April 17, he leaked some more code here, which includes the admin panel and the Twister Captcha.
The entirety of 4chan's /j/ (Janitor & Moderator Discussion) board since 2006, which can be downloaded here, with an easy-to-access web archive here.
The source code leak revealed multiple things and is expected to cause major problems for the 'cuck in the future. Multiple things came to light including:
It revealed that verification emails are used to track and ban users despite it explicitly stating that they're discarded after verification.
It revealed that only "trusted" IPs can create certain generals.
It revealed that 4cuck has a special section for law enforcement requests in the admin panel. While the leaker does not think that 4cuck is a full-blown government run honeypot, it is damning evidence that der 'cuck glows.
It exposed that jannies can ban users for "personal reason".
It confirms that the Federal Bureau of Investigation archives posts on their site.those who glow 💀 (even doe it's obviously a joge)
It leaked the set of filters used on each board.
If you're not in certaincountries[a], if you're using a phone, if you're on a new IP, or if the jannies simply don't like you, you get a 900 second cooldown before posting unless you give them your email address for an allegedly "anonymous" site
From April 14 to 25, 2025, 4cuck was completely down.
Both the 'cuck and The Sharty would experience major server slowdowns from a chaotic mixture of back-and-forth immigration, DDoSing, and admin panic. At one point, The Sharty was completely inaccessible, and the 'cuck took minutes to load. There was a lot of lag for the entire soyjak.st (not the IRC doe) and everything took a good while to load. The management of The Sharty decided to temporarily shut down the booru in order to accommodate for the increased traffic. The final post on 4cuck before the 11-day outage was seemingly "Chicken Jockey" on /qa/.[it just was, ok?]
9a0c also announced that for a period of time, enforcement of rules of all rules except 1-4, 6, and 8 and grey area rules would be suspended.[5]
Many 4cuck rapefugees would come to The Sharty after this. The /soy/ board reached it's absolute peak this month at over 4400 PPH![6] Some other dead boards had a good PPH boost by 4chan normalGODs who don't goon to loli porn all day.
The well meaning 4chan refugees have praised The Sharty for its /calm/er community, wider array of features such as MP4 support, user-enabled ID's, text styles, ability for threads to contain more than one image, porn being rare, and raids being allowed.[7][8][9]
While criticism mainly revolves around the lack of hobby boards and the site's slow performance, though most have acknowledge it is due to the large traffic brought with the migration.
After a vote by 9a0c, /g/, /v/, /tech/, /tv/ and /fit/ were added to handle the influx of 4cuck rapefugees.[10]
After 4cuck returned there will still many newcomers loyal to The Sharty and refusing to go back[11][12]
Many 4cuckfags would make seethe threads in /soy/ and have their threads spammed with Yotsoybasoyquotes. Baiters were quick to take advantage of the situation by creating outlandish rants. A massive LARP-off has begun as the unironic seethers, baiters, and quoters are all trying to one-up each other.
Here is an absolute gemerald some poor sad fart spent a good day typing.

That's my post. Narrative crafting, little bitch boy reject? What really is the difference between this site and reddit? You all get butthurt over anything 4chan does and at the same time copy everything from us This whole site is literally just pic related, 24/7, except instead of a cute neet girl, you are a bunch of ugly stinky dudes There is no debate going on in here, no civil conversation, no arguments, just constant raisinflinging and acting like you owned the other guy when he stops responding, i 100% guarantee that someone is going to respond to me by just copying my whole post and adding an ugly soyjak next to it By pushing these ugly caricatures all you do is showing the world the ugliness that lies within your own soul You guys should unironically touch some grass or seek professional help, and thats coming from a 4channer shartycucks will literally ban for anything, the rules page doesn't matter, they will delete anything and everything they don't like whether it breaks rules or not. zoomgroids are the ultimate SJWs, they will ban anything that causes them to raisin and piss themselves. they love cancel culture and being fascist niggers. most of them live in south america which is full of dictatorships, it's a projection of their societal cuckoldry. You are all so fucking retarded. I was waiting for my favourite meetup thread to appear on /soc/, I was so happy to wait and see if there are any meetups next to me. And you know what? YOU HAD TO TAKE DOWN THE SITE!!!! I hope you all kill yourself, stupid retarded faggots. Your mothers should have aborted you long time ago zoomers. None of you are funny. None of your memes will ever be popular. Nobody outside of your little circle jerk will ever like you. The soyjaks you love so much are ugly, retarded images that aren’t funny. This is your moment of glory, taking down a site that you’ll never rival. I would beat the fuck out of you if you ever did this to my face you little fucking bitch. I can just imagine you being so proud of yourself because you printed out the perfect little wojak on mommy’s printer with your fancy little high gloss paper. Then you’d come up to me pull the image out of your pocket and show it to me then suddenly BOOM BOOOM BOOM My fists would rain down on your scrawny little zoomer broccoli haired ass and you’d cry for mommy before I knocked you the fuck out you little snot nosed punk Why are you shartyniggers such low T neopuritans? You complain about "tranime", you complain about "gooning", you lie and say ecchi or sfw image dumping hot women is "porn". Why are you faggots so afraid of the opposite sex, you're basically just a bunch of asexual autists who just spam ugly, crass looking soyjak edits while complaining that sexually healthy males are all "trannies". Amerishart zoomers have been brainwashed into worshipping ugliness and now cute things confused and enraged them. Sad to see. post anything on sharty some retarded brown kid will post an image of some of the ugliest soyjak and a bunch of slurs and think he's comedy gold 0 actual discussions except flame wars could be made here, threads either derail to raisinshows or die with 2 replies Memes aside, do you fags really think the sharty is better then 4chan as an image board? Aside from trolling, hacking and raiding this place sucks. Everything you post is ugly and retarded, how can such a website even stay afloat? BAN ALL AI IMAGES AND VIDEOS OFF THIS SITE NOW, MAKE IT A RULE FOR AI IMAGES TO BE A BANNABLE OFFENSE, ARTISTS ARE STARVING BECAUSE OF YOU SELFISH RETARDS CREATING THESE SOULLESS raisinTY IMAGES MADE WITH THE STOLEN HAND CRAFTED ART ARTISTS ON TWITTER SPENT HOURS, DAYS, MONTHS WORKING ON. MAKE AI ART A BANNABLE OFFENSE NOW. FUCK YOU ALL AND YOUR STUPID MEMES, ROTTING OUR BRAINS AND WASTING OUR TIMES!!! YOU RUINED THE INTERNET AND ENTIRE GENERATIONS! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT REAL HUMOR IS, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY INTELLIGENCE. 99% OF INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, TIKTOK, IMAGEBOARDS, FORUMS' CONTENT ARE GARBAGE REEKING MORE THAN YOUR MOM'S ASS. FUCK YOU ALL, FUCK HUMANITY, DIE IN HELL§§§ I'm literally just waiting. There isn't any alternative and there won't be any alternative. Either it comes back or we're done. The majority of every website is readers/lurkers. 4ch is no different.
If you want to know specifically what I'm personally waiting for, there is a general I have lurked for about 3 years now. It's populated by maybe 5 people, maybe 30 on rare occasions. We don't have any other way of contacting each other, we meet there on a schedule to talk. Those people might be gone forever, all because someone was mad at the administration.
There is no going somewhere else. If the site is gone, they're gone. No amount of features, no lack of rules, no nothing is going to substitute this. I want to talk to those people, about that topic, in that place, like we have done unbothered for years.
I have to imagine this is the common sentiment of the lurkers, for a variety of topics. We are the collateral in all of this. We lose the hardest. It doesn't matter if your attack worked, it doesn't matter if you spammed this place expecting people to flock in. We don't want to be here, you have forced us here and are now wondering why we're not merry and jovial. You took my pretend friends away, and you likely did that for many. This website is as trash as ever. The 4 Chan hack is a staged psyop. Elon even posted on Reddit again about his antichrist trip code he used to dog whistle and well poison and make it seem like antisemitism is associated to global nwo worship, while pretending it was some important leak. Totally staged event planned years ago by rejects. Things aren't going how they plan though beyond the timing of their reddit posts. You're going to hang, soytrannies. Gaslighting won't save you, faggot. This is not hyperbole. This is not a joke. You're going to hang for this raisin. 4channers are done with your tranny bullraisin. Looking at jacks all day cant be good for your mind Keep playing this stupid game. You're only pissing everyone off. You are already extinct. this place, humor-wise and userbase-wise, is closer to tiktok than it is to 4chan.
The janitor board was also leaked for a second time, which gave a glimpse into some of the more recent janny policies and namefag drama. Jannies had a "mental health thread" and apparently there were multiple foid jannies. Also, it was confirmed that /tv/'s baskinfag was extremely hated by jannies not only for samefagging on /tv/ but also for spamming anti-indian posts on /int/ (Kek, it's kino!). It was determined that some jannies were using their university/government <-- FALSENVKE email addresses.
nahh blud we getting a full code rewrite of 4cuck before GTA 6 💀
As 4cuck is now known to have barely updated the site in over a decade, and given that the entire source code has been leaked (revealing even more gemmy vulnerabilities), it can be assumed that 4cuck has experienced a devastating hack that spelled 11 days of maintenance. According to Ars Technica, Security researcher Kevin Beaumont described the hack as "a pretty comprehensive own" that included "SQL databases, source, and shell access".[13] That is, the hack is verifiably a somethingburger with serious consequences for 4cuck, on precedent of its scale (despite 4cucks trying to claim that as the passu billing information not being leaked due to the hacker's moral choices is somehow evidence of a failure though).
Even more concerning, is how the leaker claims to have had access to 4cuck's backend for a year before the hack, and that it was a slowburn in the making, implying apathy on the admin's part to not detect it in that long. 4cuck's history of laziness on the development side (see: filesize limit stuck in 2005, features stuck in 2005, april fool's events getting progressively lazier, forgetting to delete unused april fools boards instead opting to lock them, corruption in jannies after nobody became left to keep them in check), as well as Hiroshimoot literally forgetting he even owns his drunk purchase, 4cuck may genuinely be in danger.
As the 'cuck admins would rather get themselves arrested for 50 TB of 'paward instead of rewriting effectively the entire codebase to solve the outdated spaghetti code question, it is entirely possible that 4cuck will stay down— forever... JUST LIKE WHEN MY HECCIN' NOSTALGIC-ERINO LITTLEBIGPLANET SERVERS GOT TEMPORARILY SHUT DOWN FOREVER BECAUSE OF UNWHOLESOME HACKERS NOOO- I MEAN YOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!it's back might get hacked again due to its source code being leaked.
4chan's own Xitter account posted for the first time in 3 years to state, "It takes time" and that "We need time, cats, ponies and so on.".[14] This ominous messages left no confirmed ETA for when 4cuck would come back up, though the wording implied that it would take a lot longer than just a day. After they updated their entire 20-year-old site infrastructure in the timespan of a few days, of course. Already, estimates for how long 4cuck had until it would come back online ranged from a week (if jannies switch to modified vichan as a as way to get the site back without thinking) to a few weeks/months (if they choose to refactor the original php codebase), to never, ever, not in a thrembillion years because we murdered it (somewhat unlikely but not impossible, hiromoot has (((financial incentive))) to keep 4cuck up in name as a medium to sell passes and serve BLACKED ads). Another factor that may further compromise 4cuck is the question of what to do regarding all the old mods now that they have been forcibly deanonymized, and how native /pol/ schizos will react after having their suspicions confirmed of 4cuck's dirty secrets and cooperation with glowies.
4cuck ended up surviving. Although it will never be the same as it was pre hack, as now everyone knows it’s run by foids and Jews and glowies. Wether this is a good or a bad thing is up to you.
Why yes, I'm sure bringing up the site ASAP after a full source leak is a good idea.
A leaked email from RapeApe put the ETA around "monday morning" or around April 28 (also cross-confirmed on 4cuck IRC). However, that's solely for the read-only state; there is also "housekeeping" to do in order to make the site usable again. Thoughbeit, from the email it is now known that 4cuck has been using the some of the same server hardware since 2010, and that disabling PDFs and deleting /f/ - Flash after 9 days implies that any new changes are a bandaid fix onto to the bloody swiss cheese that is 4cuck's codebase. Assuming RapeApe and his 'cord buddies try to fix the code on their own, and assuming that it is as rushed and lazy as it sounds from the email, it is entirely possible that 4cuck won't even last another week online before it gets hacked, again.
Dread, you shall, for the nu-leakers surely won't be as nice with the user data.
And indeed, the site came back online the following day.
With the -ACKing of 4cuck there's a wave of thousands (est. 10k+) <---try 12 million of 4cuck refugees entering boards such as /soy/, /pol/ and /qa/ leading to the worst newfag invasion in 'arty history as these refugees attempt to integrate/dominate the culture (or even band together with pepecoal threads an attempt of subverting the 'arty to take it over as a Neo-4Chan). Attempts have been made by our frootist staff to alivate[it's ALLEVIATE you esl nigger] the strain and push the rapefugees to other boards by the unhiding of /nate/, /int/ and the unlocking of /r9k/. There have been several major news headlines discussing the "hacker collective calling itself the Soyjak Party" and sloptubers are rushing to make the next daily brimstone for their BLACKED audience.[15][16] With 4cuck now trending on xitter fears are growing of a endless horde of newfags entering the 'arty combining the horrors of xitter and 4cuck, there may be unforeseen consequences (MUH HECKIN HALF LIFE REFERENCE)...May Godscience have mercy on us all. Thankfully, many of the 4redditors have been rule 2 permabanned for posting loli/shotacon, as a result the PPH is returning to normal levels. Some 'teens are distressed because some 4cucks have said they will take over The Sharty with pure numbers, these people are Niggers, do not listen to them.
(apparently /soy/ and /qa/ were getting DDoSed or however the retaliation efforts were unexpected)
