As a side note, if it's your website that's been hacked, it might be due to a
virus on a PC that steals FTP passwords. If you're like many people and use
FileZilla on a PC, then the virus knows where the passwords are saved in plain
text. It steals them and sends them to a server which infects the websites it
now has access to via FTP.
If you have your FTP logs available, you can look through there to see if there
has been valid logins from IP addresses no where near you.
Just an FYI...

Subject: [W3af-users] New Member with Newbie Questions
Hi everyone,
My name is Jim and I am new to this mailing list and new to the W3af Tool.
I also happen to be a Linux newbie, but I have been working to change that, and
recently go my feet wet with Backtrack 4.
I got interested in W3af ever since my site got hacked. It just so happens that
I woke up this morning to a second attack on my site.
I wear many hats in my self-run little company and I need to get up to speed on
pen-testing and security quickly. So over the weekend I gave W3af a try. The
trouble is, how do I go about interpreting the results? The output was readable
enough and made sense in several areas, but other areas left me scratching my
head. Apologies if this has been asked before, but are there some hidden or
user-written manuals (other than the official one by the W3af team that I have
read) that will help me learn to decipher and act upon the results somewhat
quickly.
Thanks everyone! I look forward to learning more about the W3af tool and its
many uses!
Best regards,
Jim Danes
