Have the forums been hacked?


Recommended Posts

I'm looking at the exploit at the remote website. Whoever wrote it has gone to a lot of trouble for obscure their code.

I was noticing that too. I downloaded the code and tried to unobfuscate it, and it's still really difficult to see what it's doing.

Hey, this happened on my site too.

I was looking for a fix of some sort yesterday and found this...

There's a little explanation on how your forums got hacked and a very useful tool called "Ipb 2.1 Anti-virus Tool", It scans for suspicous files in your IPB directory and puts them in a list, however you have to delete them manually.

Hi, the xploit is fixed on the last ipb 2.1.6 of 30 of June, the crap is located at ipb skin, use Generate Differences Report... at admin control panel to find it. It's somewhere at template html, at global html global_board_header > skin_global.

When the forum of the site in my sig was hit by this same exploit, the code was found in the config file. Deleting it from skin_global in the ACP did nothing.

Yay for IPB and IE :rolleyes: .

It's time like this that make me glad i don't use IE, or Windows (unless forced of course).

This isn't a thread to bash a good operating system though ;)

is there a way to find out if you have been infected?

Virus Scan.
