Facebook PHP Source Code from August 2007

README.md

In August 2007 a hacker found a way to expose the PHP source code on facebook.com. He retrieved two files and then emailed them to me, and I wrote about the issue:

http://techcrunch.com/2007/08/11/facebook-source-code-leaked/

It became a big deal:

http://www.techmeme.com/070812/p1#a070812p1

The two files are index.php (the homepage) and search.php (the search page)

I don't know what ended up happening to the guy who stole the code.

I found these files today while searching for another Facebook related file. Worth preserving as part of Internet history.

well, i'm too bad to see why the code is bad

id=100070926030443

just being a part of internet history here :)
And yeah man, the code isnt too bad altho i agree with some commentors, making the code work seems more imp when youre just building up a startup , mainatainable code can be organised later when success is starting to meet and the team scales up.

woah damn

ok its not that bad, they needa cut down on all those includes though

at least it is well indented

There isn't really enough here to be able to be able to form a proper opinion, but it's definitely a mess and it definitely has security issues.

If it works, it works. Investors don't give a damn about code quality.

Code is very complicated for me :(

If it works, it works. Investors don't give a damn about code quality.

They do, Facebook especially has spent tons and tons and tons of time optimizing and rewriting underperforming code.

If it works, don't touch it ;)

Bro....

Wow

hmpr snake case semua @LanLan1412

very cool

Hello from 2024

Interesting

Boring.

👍

so rare to see things like his imagining that mark wrote this code inside his dorm by himself alone with the idea and by his own hands
vintage and rare asf!

LOOKS GOOD TO ME 😄

This is a good piece of Internet history, and has some of the only leaked chunks of the original 2003 code that Mark Zuckerberg originally wrote in his dorm room at Harvard. There's another "original" Facebook code on GitHub (although, not on Gist) published by "megaloglobal" that purports to be the "original 2003 version", whilst that emulates 2008-era Facebook, the one that succeeded this version of the platform here and created the code used until like 2012.
