Hey guys,
I currently got hacked this morning while I was editing some files on my site, all of a sudden I noticed that parts of my site were starting to disappear and then my admin access all of a sudden failed. Next thing I do is refresh the page and theres a bit Fu*k you message on it lol. Well before all of this I did hop on my protector system I had installed and copied down his IP Laughing . So now I know his name, address, and phone number after a quick trace. But Ill leave the torture up to my friends. Since I saw him doing it, I quickly got in contact with my hosting company who did a great job helpin me out, they shut it down within 3 min of the intrustion, [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] Anyway I reset the stuff and gave myself access again. I proceeded to install admin secure and nuke sentinel. So all together I have protector, nuke sentinel, and admin secure. Is there any other way I can help reduce my site gettin hacked, or better protect it? This is the second time its happened lol. Thats the big question, is there anything else I can do to prevent it?
Sam

First of all, identify the cause. Do you use Coppermine? Chances are, unless you are up2date, that's how they got in. Feel free to email me the hack and I can tell you if NukeSentinel would have caught it. I can guarantee you beyond a shadow of a doubt, if they hacked your admin, NukeSentinel stops them dead in their tracks.

Secondly, by using all 3 you risk the chance of one not working correctly, it's overkill, and your site will be slower. At the risk of sounding vain, NukeSentinel is all you need. Otherwise, I would not be using it only, as well as many, many, others.

Well I dont know exactly how he did it, but Ill tell you the symptoms, One of my datatables was erased, my shout box, kinda weird, but other than that Im guessing he either got in through admin or he went in by mysql, and created himself an admin account. I dont notice any speed difference in the site, so im too lazy to uninstall them. Im glad sentinel will stop them, Im gettin real tired of this hacking crap. I dont think I use coppermine, but it might be. lol I dont even really know what it is Wink

As I told you already, dump those other systems and use NukeSentinel's HTTP Auth system. It is 100% foolproof.

Yes - It protects it 100% - Activate HTTP Auth

I found that if you are using the newest sentinel and after the install and everything when the management area comes up I have to click on "Admin Auth List" and set my primary Admin first before logging out. if you do anything before doing this it will ask you to log in and your screwed. or atleast that is how it is for me.

Great program. No Hacker trouble since then

I got hacked, they used Coppermine to attack the server. I nearly got kicked off.
Is there a nuke gallery that is more secure? With Sentinal 2.02, have upgraded to 2.1

The security exploit in Coppermine was mentioned since february 2004 and it's now the end of oktober.

If you still didn't update your website and didn't read the instructions iy's your own fault and not that from coppermine.

So you think Coppermine is secure? What version should I look for?
DJMaze, Im not bagging the program, I love the program and want it back. I looked for an update but the nuke module version is discontinued as far as I could tell.

Correct the development has stopped.
And a new version will only be made if someone starts it again.

I can give you the fixed versions OR the complete CVS on sourceforge so you can play with it.
It's up to you or someone else.

Thanks DJMaze I do want to get the gallery up and running again so the fixed version would be good. I don't know much about security but would be interested in a play.

Have you tried Gallery? I like it better than Coppermine and I haven't had any problems with it... yet Very Happy, but I do use NukeSentinel with HTTP Auth too. Also Gallery can be standalone and PHP-Nuke module so it is always up to date when a new version comes out.

yep Gallery is another good option.
The layout and features are different.
