Michael, This is not related to your AIDE question, but I too experienced a similar situation not too long ago. A client's box was compromised using an outdated php CMS system running custom php add-on. We did not have the option to wait for a fix and needed to bring the server back online quickly.
I suspected the compromise took place via some file which was either uploaded to the tmp directory or upload directory and then executed via some flaw in php code (possibly sql injection). In addition to hardening the new LAMP stack, I mapped the tmp and upload directories to a filesystem mapped with nodev,nosuid,noexec options. We are still waiting for a complete fix for the php code, but none in sight :-) In the mean time, AIDE continues to provide some peace of mind :-) Good luck, Vijay 2011/6/21 Michael Chesterton <che...@chesterton.id.au>: > Hey, > I took over admin of a box that has been compromised via php web apps.
