i talked to the hacker.... can someone help

[n95gps]

thank you so much guys for replying

well i forget to mention one thing he told me

he said that a friend of his gave hime a shell

i am not familiar with shells but he said he was able to get into the hostmonster server and he said he was browsing every single file in it

not only that ...he was browsing all the site that was hosted by hostmonster in that server

i already spoke to the live help at hostmonster but these guys who are answering question dont seem to care...but now or later on believe me they will lose paying custmors

they told me the secuirty is usr problem you have to hire someone to help you

what a good way of doing buissness!!!!


now i wonder will it be too dificult for the vbulletin to get ride of the config file with something else a more secure way

all these teenager hackers are attacking DB using whatever info they get inside the config file

i CHMD my forum to 1111

things seem working fine


i know to some this might not be a big issue but belive me and i hope this day will never come

talking to each other could lead us in figring out how do they work meaning these hackers and may be stop them for the time been


thanx again guys

[therogueforums]

Yes. Mr NJ seems to be quite fond of our forums.

Well that proves that Marco and others are correct: you need to switch hosts ASAP.

[therogueforums]

Yeah, OK. Let me just pull out that fat wad of cash I have put back, just to move hosts

I, literally, cannot afford to move hosts right now. In the meantime, I'm just S.O.L.? No way to secure our site?

[SALIMUS]

some one hosted in same server allow him tu put a snXXr shell
AND LIKE THAT HE BROWSED all other hosted domaine in the same machine .
i think that its the way how he hacked you .
btw ur haker is amator .
its a classic methode .
wbr

[therogueforums]

Thank you. Someone has a theory it might be a shell of some sort. Any way to solve this, other than moving hosts?

like i said before

he told me its a shell that his friend gave him

and using that shell he was able to get into the hostmonster server

and do his evil act



did you talk to the live support??

and what was thier respond

[therogueforums]

Yes, I called. They said that the server had not been compromised, and that the security hole was a flaw in vB itself. Heh. vB says it's the server.

Did you tell them that the guy had shell access given to him for one site but was then able to get into files on other sites also? That is a security flaw in the server.
