The article goes over the following important questions:. A cPanel hack may result in client domains or the IP address of the server itself being blacklisted, for example, in the case of spam mailings or other malicious activity. Due to possible sanctions from search engines onto hacked domains, a business may experience significant monetary and reputational losses.
The process of excluding a site from blacklisting can take a long time. The best solution is to think about security ahead of time, before a cPanel hack occurs. Hacking a cPanel account can be the result of a hacked site, and the opposite is also true.
In our practice, there have been cases of hacking through password recovery systems. Thus, the attacker becomes entrenched in the system. In the future, a hacker can at any given time reset the password from the account and gain access to the cPanel account. Scanning or changing credentials will not help, so if you suspect that you have been hacked - check that the mail is legit. Also, as a Indicator of Compromise, there can be a request from There should not be legitimate requests to the cPanel for this URL from In this situation, a software usually open-source has a discovered vulnerability that is posted on an advisory site, with a full synopsis of how the attack is performed.
When someone comes to me about their hacked OsCommerce site, the first thing I know to check is the version, the security advisory for that software, and Google for similar attacks. Outdated software is the 1 factor in hacked sites nowadays, and they are also the easiest to deal with. Your action in this case only really needs to be as far as recommending to the user to keep their software up to date. You already traced it, and you may or may now know where it came from.
If you see any malicious processes running as root on your server, you should assume that your server was rooted. And based on what you know about the powers of the root user, you probably already know that you need evacuate the users from the machine and reinstall the OS.
I ran easyapache I know the server has to be compromised because these redirects are still happening. Are their any other exploits anyone knows about that maybe I could look for? I read that the CDorked exploit replaces the http binary. How could I make sure that binary isn't corrupted? If I were to move that binary from another server would that work, or would it crash apache? Sreejit Member. If you rebuilt the Apache then I don't think the http binary is corrupt.
The issue may be with either the apache configuration files,. Also once hacked there is always a possibility that some backdoor files may have remained even when you clean the server. Yea, I went through all the files manually, but none were infected.
It has all the symptoms of the darkleech or CDorked, but I can't find a trace of anything. I looked through all the loaded apache modules, and they all seem legit, but that doesn't mean one wasn't replaced. We are going to move everything to a clean server I was just curious if anyone had any other ideas of what to check. I would have really liked to verify for sure the server was compromised. Apr 11, 47, 2, Hello You mentioned checking the.
Did you check for. Thank you. I think a clean server is the best option. Better to "know" everything is secure. There are a few ways the redirects could have happened. If you believe that you have been exploited through cPanel then you need to contact cPanel directly not post the details on these forums. So log a ticket with them or through your license provider and have them investigate.

FTP is sufficient for any hosting client to manage things. Just my opinion and practice. Feb 20, 0 Feb 24, 90 0 May 29, 2, 4 Minneapolis, MN. Andy, Is there any way to block these? We found out they used this WebShell script to view our config file for modernbill, and obtain the db user and pass, and then find the hash keys for the servers. If not I would definitely install it. If so, you might need to come up with a rule specifically for this problem. Check gotroot. Sep 12, 14 0
