Hi there.

I have ravennuke 2.20.01 installed on my site wowhockey.com

Since installing it on November 25 my site has been hacked a few times and new folders have been created in which phishing sites have been set up. I do have Sentinel installed. Any help would be very, very appreciated.

Could anyone please advise help or test to ensure that sentinel is working properly.

Thanks,
micah

First thing to check is access logs to determine how they got in. If you know the date and time of the incident, it should be quick to find. If Sentinel isn't going off, then your settings may be down or not working correctly. They could have gotten into other scripts that aren't phpNuke related.

micah, although it is good to think of NukeSentinel as it can, at times, be the only protection that you may have for third-party scripts that you add to your site. However, THE most important thing to keep in mind is your site is only as good as its weakest link.

The usual culprits of hacks these days are really anything that allows file uploading, such as:

> Gallery / photo album
> Forum attachment mods
> Some chat programs
> and other file upload tools

I would first look for references to those scripts.

You can look on your site the date and time the new folders have been created. Then look in the access logs for that time to see how they made it.

I see your Forums admin is secured. It should not be affected (if you had this protection on during the time of the attack)

I don't see any obvious vulnerability, but I haven't tried many attacks. One did set off Sentinel and send me to cnn.com, banning me from the server in the process.
