lol that's cute.

You either got hacked or your host restored a backup incorrectly and gave you someone else's phishing website. What this script does is it redirects a person to a website giving them all of your server information.

It grabs the memory address of the post variable on your server (this is so they can perform a buffer overflow attack on you later), then it checks the hacker's website to see if your server's IP address has already been added to his database. Finally it relies on someone finding your website through a search engine, if someone finds your site on google or yahoo (and clicks on it) then they are redirected to the hacker's website instead of yours. The website mentioned is known for a windows verification scam, I believe they were trying to get serial numbers for windows vista or XP.

You should probably figure out a way of cleaning input on that site, that way this doesn't happen again.
