Hi,

I'm so sick of these hack attempts that ... well, I don't know.

Chatserv, Raven ... thank you for all you do ... I've been following it all for awhile since I was hacked about 3 weeks ago with that stupid "God Admin" deal.

I patched my site ... I installed the HackAlert deal ... and all went well ... UNTIL today ... I get two notices from the protector module ... that a url ... I don't know if I should post it here or not ....

Anyway ... a url was posted ... so I went to go check it out .. and it brings up MY name and my encrypted password!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the HELL am I supposed to do now?

Sorry.

Okay ... taking a chill pill Wink

Thanks for the help.

Why don't you pm the url in question to chatserv or me and we'll sort it out asap for everyone.

Is that while running the most recent version note the update date?

Hi,

I pm'd the url to chatserv.

He said that it works to view the pw through phpmyadmin ... but I'm waiting on a response to see what, if anything they can do with it ... or if they're just letting me know they're still around ...

Thanks!

Oh,

Forgot to say ... yep, I've got the most recent update and patched version of 7.2.

Haven't done the 7.3 upgrade yet.

Thanks again.

lmao I was just thinking you won't be able to pm the url if the hackalert onsite here is catching it!

So far, so good Wink

For anyone wondering we tested this against the last update to the UNION hack prevention and it catches this one too.

Note the code in the default PHPNuke7.3 mainfile.php does not catch the latest UNION exploits on its own.

So be sure you are using the latest version:

Code:

$queryString = strtolower($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
if (strstr($queryString,'%20union%20') OR strstr($queryString,'/*')) {
header("Location: hackattempt.php?$queryString");
die();
}

Take care.

7.3 is missing a patch in the Downloads module which is covered in PHP-Nuke Patched 2.4, what comes as a surprise is that it does not stop it by default, to my understanding 7.3 includes UT

Yeah I just peeked its the buggier UT3 code though which was only good for about an hour before an update was released.
