Hey Greg, MikeG, List
I've tried tracing this through SSH with netstat and lsof and lots of
other linux commands and nothings is working.
I can't seem to find out where the vulnerability is.
Oh and my server is a Virtual Dedicated Server, meaning I am the server
admin. This is NOT normal hosting, or hotlinking bandwidth leeching. If
it were that would be a simple fix. My server vendor will NOT help me
with this. It is not their problem as the vulnerability MAY have been
installed by me on the server using a third party script like my
Wordpress Blog software written in PHP.
Warning to Geoff Notkin and anyone else out there that uses Wordpress,
Zen Cart, OS Commerce, PHP Pro Bid, Wikimedia, or any other third party
PHP script that uses a MySQL database, please check your systems. This
is happening to me now as I write this, but it could happen to you too.
Regards,
Eric

Hey, I used to have some experience in this field and may be able to lend a
hand.
Have you tried doing a trace? It sounds like your bandwidth is being
redirected. Are you getting alot of spam? Have you done anything recently out
of the norm (links, spam, unknown docs etc)? Call me and I can try to get this
figured out.

Hi everyone,
I am dealing with a hacker on my server (ALL 40 of my
websites are up and down and email is spotty) as I am
writing this email! I am currently being hacked and this
sale is only because of this because it will cost me $1 per
GB of bandwidth overage usage fees as soon as it reaches my
bandwidth limit. Every minute that goes by is costing me
money!!!!
I've spent the last 4 to 5 days trying to stay one step
ahead of this hacker, and he keeps leeching the bandwidth
off my server. I've done everything I know how to do and
spent hours on the phone with my server vendor, but they are
of no help as it seems the extent of this hack extends into
the legal realm.
In other words the hacker is breaking the law by
essentially causing a DoS (denial of service) by using up
all my server memory and bandwidth and can be prosecuted if
we are able to determine where this hack is coming from!
The money generated from this sale is going to bandwidth
overage fees, upgrading of services through my vendor, and
to hire a network systems administrator, and attorney. I
will be seeking legal action and prosecuting to the full
extent of the law possible!
If anyone out there has is a system administrator or can
refer me to one that might be able to help I would greatly
appreciate it. This must stop now. The bandwidth being used
is in the hundreds of Gigabytes per day! Multiply that by $1
per GB and this can get very expensive VERY FAST!
Again, if anyone out there in meteorite land is a sys admin
or knows someone who might be able to help I would be
forever grateful. I'm a webmaster and web design
artist/photographer. I can run servers, install server
related software, and run 40 websites at a time, but I'm not
hacker, and this is beyond my knowledge level.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide. You
can reach me at 904-236-5394 and I'd be glad to speak with
anyone who might be able to help.
THANKS!
