How-To: Find PHP Nobody Spammers!

Someone posted some code similar to below, I made modifications or two after trying to detect PHP "nobody" users, after dumping a few printenv I found PHP exports PWD when calling an external program such sendmail. Basically the PWD will show the user directory that is coming from, which is enough to detect who is sending SPAM even as nobody! It's not 100% secure in that they could wipe /var/log/formmail but I don't imagine any spam will notice the logger, they presume any cPanel server (or other CP for that matter) is the same.

mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail2
pico /usr/bin/sendmail (paste the below code into it)
chmod +x /usr/bin/sendmail
echo > /var/log/formmail
chmod 777 /var/log/formail

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

# use strict;
use Env;
my $date = `date`;
chomp $date;
open (INFO, ">>/var/log/formmail.log") || die "Failed to open file ::$!";
my $uid = $>;
my @info = getpwuid($uid);
if($REMOTE_ADDR) {
print INFO "$date - $REMOTE_ADDR ran $SCRIPT_NAME at $SERVER_NAME";
}
else {

print INFO "$date - $PWD - @info";

}
my $mailprog = '/usr/sbin/sendmail.real';
foreach (@ARGV) {
$arg="$arg" . " $_";
}

open (MAIL,"|$mailprog $arg") || die "cannot open $mailprog: $!";
while (<STDIN> ) {
print MAIL;
}
close (INFO);
close (MAIL);
