I would ask them to provde some evidence of their claims. I see nothing in your post above that indicates the server was being compromised.
Do you have any error logs or better still raw access logs - was the server subject to sudden bandwidth useage?
did you have any of Chatserv's 'patches' installed or Sentinel?

It's old story....

I use phpnuke 6.0 with all posible patches I thing....

I have a lot hard hand working in the code myself and if I try to upgrade I will lost much unfo from 2,5 years.

Now i download a raw access log, but it's very big... were I can to put it or send it to?...

You shouldnt lose anything by upgrading but it would take some time by using a file comparison utility.
You didnt say whether or not you had a version of Sentinel or other system installed.
Are you by any chance using a host who provides unlimited bandwidth/ disc space?

Perhaps it is time to change hosts if they cannot provide evidence of server attacks.
You mention 'spamming' - did you still have the old Webmail module installed?

I use SQL Injection Hack Alert:

(there is no Sentinel for PHPNuke v 6.0)

I'm not using it (not active), but it was there... I delete it.

There are a number of file comparison utilities available and I think everyone has a *favourite* depending on the features and complexity they need.
My own 'must have' is a utility called 'Beyond Compare2' http://www.scootersoftware.com/ although it is a 30 day trial it would suit your needs as it compare whole sites in one go including sub folders etc.

I'm not sure what thoughts others have but I would definitely try to upgrade your nuke to 6.9.
If you have back-ups of your files, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain and there is always someone to guide and assist you.

I have licensed copies of CompareIT, Beyond Compare2 (I think), and most recently, ExamDiff Pro. My preference is ExamDiff Pro (It has a 30 day trial also). I switched to ExamDiff Pro about a month ago as it seems to find the like code better than the others. Just my opinion; ymmv.

As to my hack-alert script, it is outdated, unfortunately. If you had a spamming/server attack, outside of phpnuke, NukeSentinel and Chatserv's patches wouldn't help you there. If you'd like to discuss updating your site (contract work), PM me and we can see what can be negotiated.
