I’m working on a script to list several bash commands that I use at work all the time. Yes I’m making a script instead of a static HTML page. This is because I can change the sorting on it among other things easier than when just typing up a plain old HTML file.
It is going to be here. As I said I’m still working on it. That is to say it isn’t even working yet. I made a static page to hold some commands temporally before I actually get it working.
Since I’ve seen so many customers getting their accounts hacked I figured I’d post the tools I have to try to deal with these types of issues.
One of them can be found here, (I removed the link because the guy removed the wiki from his site.) it was written by one of my co-workers. (His scripts should only work on Linux/Unix based OS’s, sorry no Windows support.) Basically he wrote a script that checks for some easy to discover vulnerabilities such as having register_globals enabled or world writable files among other things. He also wrote a script to fix those issues, one to tell you if any changes have occurred since the last time the script was run, & he converted my FrontPage clean up script for SSH.
I also made it so that the security scanner he wrote can work in PHP. (Once again this is only for Linux/Unix servers.) You can get it here.
Well as I mentioned earlier I made a script for cleaning up the Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions. I have recently made some major overhauling of it. Now instead of running a series of searches to find the offending files & folders, only one search is done making it much less intense on the server, or at least that is the hope.
Another thing only the first few versions deleted the “.htaccess” files. I had someone help me figure out how to rename them instead. I used that command through version 3.5 after which I made 4.0 which didn’t do that.
If you want to get a copy of every version I remembered to save you can obtain it here. Of course if you want the current version you can get it here.
Now that the script is written entirely in PHP I’m going to see if I can do anything to improve the script’s performance further.
I really don’t understand why people delete the account. I came up with a better solution, at least I think it is.
Yes I am talking about the account alina77vere9uk account that everyone seems to be getting on tons of blogs that has that really suspicious e-mail address of alina77vere@gmail.com.
I am also grateful to BlogSecurity for info on securing my blog.
Well I suppose this is a real change for me. A post with a picture in it, or more accurately about a picture.
When I first looked at this picture I figured it was likely a photo shop job. I still can’t help but think it is. I haven’t been able to find anything on this pic so I really don’t know if it is or isn’t though.
It is still interesting so I thought I would keep it & post it in hopes someone can identify it for me.
