dino head My Almost-daily Journal

About
I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind. I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!

Our Server Got Hacked
Yup. That's right. Our server got hacked. I spent a few hours going through our server directories, and it looks like I've pin-pointed most of the rogue files. It appears as most of the breach happened to our main domain, filias.com. My domain, dinofilias.com resides as a subdirectory on that domain.

A simple shell.php was not the only rogue file on our system. We did experience malicious damage, though minor, with our company site, www.filias.com. The malicious hacker replaced our index.html file with a new one. Our main index file was replaced with an html file that simply read, "Sluth@DAL.net".

I'm pretty sure that our breach was caused by a vulnerability with the album.pl file. But I'm not 100% sure.

I think it was a coincidence that the only thing that saved www.dinofilias.com from malicious destruction was Peter rebooted the server about the same time that a hacker was taking control of our server. All our sites were down around 11AM on 4/29/03, which was about the time that Peter did a hard reboot.

Some of the files that were added to our server, on multiple directories were: uclist.txt, shell.php, sluth.html, and a new index.html. For some reason, the hackers weren't able to overwrite my index file on dinofilias.com.

I'm hoping that all the breaches have been contained and that there's no more shell.php files floating around somewhere on our server.
