AAH !

I've been running my NUKE 7.2 site on my own APACHE/WINXP machine for some time now. Everything's great.

Untill yesterday : some Turkish guy, who calls himself the 'WanXpy For LynXMaster' or whatever, hacked my site.

What he does is he changes the footer text to a redirect code, that redirects users to his matrix-lookalike webpage where he displays hacked by bla bla bla ....

For those of you who want to look at it : it's Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

Thanks to phpmyadmin I fixed to problem. Today - he does it again.

You guys think Sentinel will stop this from happening ? Or do I have to change some code to disable this exploit ?

Thanks in advance for the advice !

Sentinel stops it dead. Why in the world haven't you installed it before now? Bang Head

Well yeah - I'm wondering why i didn't do that too now.
I'm getting on it right now !

THANKS !

I didn't install it because I always thought - they will never try something like this on me ( because I have this really tiny site, only intended to share my photos with my friends ).

One thing that I found out is - I get this error now when trying to use coppermine :

Code:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class sql_db in D:\WEBSITE\modules\coppermine\include\oldnuke.php on line 0

I know this is more for another part of the forum, but I thought maybe the history of the problem could be relevant.

That oldnuke.php is for when your nuke version is less than 6.5.. Make sure your version number in the nuke_config table is reading above 6.5 and then it wont even use that file.

But if your site is running below 6.5, upgrade!
I know I had problems with that when I removed the version number from the table. Rolling Eyes

And dont think hackers wont find your site, bc they will!

Your most welcome!

Sentinel uses the new db layer that was introduced after 6.5, so you would need to make some changes to make it work on 6.5. I have installed it on 6.5 and I will have to try to remember the steps. I know you have to copy the db folder from 6.9 (or higher) to you 6.5 folder. There may be a couple more things but they escape me right now.

Heh! Reminds me of the Netflix commercial...

"Freud!" answers the contestant, in decided victory.
