Hack attempt on the Website

Posted by Michael Palmer on Tuesday, June 24, 2003

Noticed a hack attempt today from ip ā€œ80.56.113.228ā€. They got in from a php exploit in the photo gallery. Iā€™m working on upgrading the photo galleries right now. Should fix the problem. They used a rootkit called bindshell, which binds a shell to a specified port, problem is that the Apache user doesn’t have any permissions outside of the Apache directory. Well, I’m keeping my eyes out now.. kind of a wake up call.
