I was Hacked...used Ravens Script -- get "appears to be

New Member Joined: Dec 19, 2003 Posts: 4

I had my site hacked and the admin name and password was changed because I cant log in.

Raven very graciously pointed me to his REsetpassword script but the I am getting the "appears to be an invalid user name" error.

So does this mean they changed my admin user name also??? and if so what can i do about that???

Use phpmyadmin and go directly into the authors table and delete all admin accounts. Then, immediately log back into nuke/admin.php and it will request you to make a new admin account.

Or, edit the authors table and delete all account except God and just correct it back to what it should be.

okay this is what I am looking at.....UNDER NUKE_AUTHORS

(please forgive my ignorance, but I am just not sure what I need to get rid of....) --

But can you tell me, are you saying I should delete ALL these tables??? And I do that using the trash can (DROP) right?

And then I can log back in and redo my account? -- I dont see anything with GOD on it so I dont know how to use that option that you speak of....

sorry.

No no! Click the Go button at the bottom of that screen and it will pull up all the records in the table.

so which is security patch for admin hack ?
is it PHP-Nuke Patched Series By Chatserv ver 2.2?
or
Admin.php vulnerability - posted by chatserv in index page ?

The index page. Use either method depending on whether you use my hackattempt script.

Hey Raven - I screwed up my Amin account today, and checked on this site and found this thread. Laughing

I followed your above advice and edit my GOD account (I have NO other Authors listed yet), after changing the name and password and saving it.

I keep getting begone message in my admin login. Embarassed

Also, I can't log out of USER account on my NUKE site either since this has happend. Welcome my name is at top of website mainpage and I can't access my account or any registered restricted areas of my site.

Is this to do with my previously having a user name and Admin name as the same?

Sounds like a cookie issue. Clear your cache and delete your cookies. Now what happens?

Well, I jumped the gun and after trying several different things (not thinking about a possible "cookie" problem), I used your SQL install program...cleaned up my database and system is back-up.

Now back to rebuilding.... Embarassed

Thanks for the feedback Raven, always thankful for your support Laughing
