Someones managed to upload a phishing site to my VPS.
How do they normally achieve this, there has been no unauthorised root access as I get e-mail each time someone log in as root.
Is it likely they've just managed to guess my ftp password, or is it going to have something to do with a script running elsewhere?
I've got solarvps looking at it now.
I have Awstats on my server enabled for:
Nokia Browser (PDA/Phone Browser)
UP.Browser (PDA/Phone Browser)
Motorola Browser (PDA/Phone Browser)
My question is, are the visitors a day accurate - which I take to be uniques. It seems these must be pretty far off.
Presently they show an extremely high multiple of that for pages/s (approx 30 -50 times the visitors). I've never heard of visitors clicking this many pages.
I've not come across these kind of number with other non-mobile sites and it makes wonder if its right.
A) is tracking handled in the same way on mobile devices as on desktops (cookies or sessions?) And is this reliable for mobile/handheld/cell-phone devices?
B) There really isn't much of a chance of these page views being a result of bookmarks - the page views don't seem to add up to this.
The 'Browser Top 10' hits coming from 'unknown' are > 50% of the total amount.
Are there any quirks with awstats or other tracking software when it comes to mobile devices, even though the activity is taking place on the server? I take it Urchin may be more accurate?
My company is just getting into web hosting. We currently have 10-15 sites that we are hosting. What do you guys use to keep track of all the details for the site (location, company info, etc). We're using a homegrown filemaker database atm, but we don't want to continue using this when we get 50+ sites. It doesn't matter if its web-based or a standalone program.

is there any way to monitor the phishing activities? may be its some kind of scripts some one running inside the server?
I currently run a dedicated server and for the past 2 month or so have been attacked by some hackers or so. Meaning that on my sites every other day there is a folder of a phishing site. It is either paypal, ebay, exc phishing site and I know that I did not upload it there. I have tried almost anything to stop that, but it just keeps happening, my server company suggested to do os reload, but I am not sure as that will cost me $100. Was anyone faced with a problem like this that can give few suggestions? I use cpanel server.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm not that techy I'd like to ask why this person downloaded the file below before uploading some phishing webpages on my account ? I've changed my password numerious times from different computers and even from mobile phone just to check if the person can still get in. But again it is no use the person were able to upload phishing pages.
logs:
May 25 21:50:42 server100 pure-ftpd: (weblogin100@62.56.133.36) [NOTICE] /home/weblogin100//.htpasswds/update/Login.php downloaded (21251 bytes, 755.78KB/sec)
Right now I deleted all other scripts on the account and remain some htmls. Folder were also set to 644 no 777, while waiting if the person can still upload his phishing pages please help me why he downloaded the file above. I've check the file on my account and I cannot see Login.php. By the way I have a root login and only two accounts were a constant phishing victims.
I spotted a user on my site with the hostname: gator832.hostgator.com
This particular visitor identified themselves as a "visitor", with the user agent: Mozilla/4.8 [en] (Windows NT 6.0; U)
Upon typing the user's IP into google, a boatload of "phishing" / "bad bots" logs come up.
My question: Can I identify visitors like this via automation?
i.e.: fake users. People who masquerade themselves as a human, while they're really a bot.
(I only noticed this potentially 'bad' user because I was viewing my visitor log in real-time. -I was on at the very moment they were-)
In previous experience, not every user with the "host" phrase in their hostname are bad users, so sniffing those bits wouldn't do anything useful.
Gmail has a feature to detect email phishing and it marks them with a red header alert saying "Warning" This message may not be from whom......", I believe this red alert has nothing to do with spf record of that email, so how does it detect it as phishing email?
We have spf record and I sent an email from another server, when I received that emai the spf record was "softfail" but it does not have that red alert.
I am running a hosting service. Recently a user put a phishing site on the server, pretending to be an eBay signup page and soliciting passwords. I had all kind of truble with this, because eBay complained to my server company.
I would like to ask if you know any solution what would block such sites automatically?
It could search for some predefined texts on the page (such as "sign in to eBay") and block the page if they are found. I wasn't able to find anything in Apache documentation.
I've lots of:
[warn] RewriteCond: NoCase option for non-regex pattern '-f' is not supported and will be ignored.
[warn] RewriteCond: NoCase option for non-regex pattern '-d' is not supported and will be ignored.
Any ideas how to track them?

I have a CentOS box here that is causing some strange load. Brand new X3230 (4*2.66Ghz), 2GB ram and 2*500GB SATA2 in raid-1 on a LSI MegaIDE controller.
Basically the server is continuesly at a load of 1. However I dont see why. No CPU load, and no IO as far as I can see. Does anybody have a tip where to look for the problem?

With the WHT benchmark test the machine scores about 520 points, seems not bad either.
Only thing I could think of is that it has something to do with the raidcard. The data transfer rate is quite low. Could it be that the card is rebuilding the array? Can I check that without rebooting?
A user is running something that eats up all the server memory very quickly. Looking at the access logs this is all I get:
XX.XX.XX.XX - - [22/Mar/2007:12:58:06 -0400] "GET /index2.php?option=com_rss&feed=RSS1.0&no_html=1 HTTP/1.1" 403 -

Now there are quite a few index2.php's located on my server so I can not figure out who is running this. When I run ps ax -o pid,user,rss,command|grep httpd
I get about 20-30 of these:
13808 nobody 17360 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL
how I can figure out where this script is being run from?

I don't know about security on servers much, and we're setting up our new server. I have the techs doing the install stuff, but I would love to know what to install security wise. My current list:
Firewall - good free one?
Antivirus - good free one?
rootkit, some way of stopping it (anti-rootkit?)
Also, is there some sort of script which searches all cPanel accounts/files for phishing sites or spam sites etc? I swear I've seen one before, in firewall form?
Oh the server setup is going to be:
php5-CGI, fCGI, mySQL 5, apache 2.2.x, centOS, ruby on rails, django, ioncube, other php libraries, mod_rewrite, I think thats everything. (cPanel).

I run a Free web hosting service on my server with XPanel script installed. It has around 47K accounts in all. Recently i started getting mails from e-bay, banks and many other institutions regarding the Phishing sites operating from my server for cheating their customers / members. Though i removed them but i have to do it manually and after getting mails from them.
Now that i dont want any more such site to run from my hosting site, What are the options available for me in order to check all accounts automatically and remove any such site on its own? As there are 47K accounts and 100+ new signups each day, it is not possible to check all accounts manually.

I are running an Plesk 11.5 on a Ubuntu 12.04 machine. Since days i have problems where i see scripts of phishing sites and mailer scripts installed in the httpdocs directory of various domain.
How I can prevent that people outsiders install this scripts on the server? Where is the bug that allows this?
We need to add visitor tracking code to the Control panel so we know who's using it and we can prompt inline chat etc. for support, but where to start.

Attached is a (badly) drawn diagram of two sites, connected by a vpn.
The site to the left, is network 10.0.0.0/24 which runs a linux server as the router for the network.
The site to the right, is network 10.1.0.0/24 which runs a windows 2003 server as the router for the network.
Now, my problem is, the clients behind the windows 2003 server can ping any machine on the first network because i setup a static route to route all traffic to 10.0.0.0/24 over the vpn interface.
now, my problem is, only the linux server can ping any machine on the windows 2003 network, any client behind the linux server cant seem to route over the interface.
I have the following route on the linux server: .....
Starting point: a working site using a shared IPv4, dedicated IPv6, and SSL. HTTP and HTTPS work, the latter only using SNI of course.
The good news: If I simply allocate an IP resource of 1 to a subscription it is pulled from the pool, assigned to the service node, assigned to the web site, DNS is updated, and the site is automatically changed to using a Dedicated IPv4 and Dedicated IPv6.
The bad news: visitors land on the default web site of the service node, with the default SSL certificate.
Other info: I can't ping the new IP, even though it shows in "ip a l" and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0. [edited]
After the IP assignment, it is still installed, and /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/ip_default/domainname.conf shows the new certificate is being used.
However, a second set of VirtualHost entries is created in server.conf for this IP for ports 80 and 443, with NameVirtualHost enabled on the new IP. The port 443 entry uses the default certificate. Apache's setup this default VirtualHost entry will override the web site configuration because Apache is listening on port 443 with the wrong cert.
If I go to "Change webspace settings" and toggle to Shared IPv4, Dedicated IPv6 the site works again via HTTPS, and Dedicated IPv4 and Dedicated IPv6 breaks it again. Setting the SSL cert to None and back again does not work.
Setting the SSL cert to None, changing to a dedicated IP, and enabling SSL results in the server being inexplicably inaccessible...browsers no longer connect to either the default site or the correct site, and I don't see any entries in the vhosts's logs.
