Hack Alert - 404 page?

Panthera · Posted: Sun May 16, 2004 11:28 pm

Hello!

I am just recovering from my first hack and my head is still spinning. I installed the Hack Alert but when I test it I get my own 404 Error page.

Here is what I inserted:

Code:

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

Admittedly, I'm a phpNuke newbie (running 7.1) but I cannot find the $LOC in the coding. Am I missing something??

What am I doing wrong?

First of all, make sure that you have the hackattempt.php file in the same directory as mainfile.php. Now, the $LOC has been changed to $queryString and I forgot to update the statement in the INSTALL file - sorry (it's fixed now)! So, try this

Code:

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

Hi Raven,

Thanks for the quick reply. They are in the same directory and I updated the code to the above you included. I still get my own 404 Error page.

Should I replace the code that is there currently? Or just place it above it? [I replaced it]

Code:

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

Thanks!

Replace it. Make sure you don't have a typo in the script name. Review the error message to see what path it is attempting to goto. That should give an indication as to the pathing error. Try this if nothing else works

Code:

header("Location: http://yourdomain.com/hackattempt.php?$queryString");

Of course adjust the url to point to the script.

Well, it doesn't look as if there are any typos ... i tried expanding the path location as you suggested and then back again.

Code:

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

I still get my own 404 page. Crying or Very sad

Here is what shows at the bottom of that page:

Code:

I'm at a loss. It should be so simple ...

Oh, and I have tried it with and without the trailing slash / at the end of the location string. Confused
