ps ax | more check what processes are running, anything typical like ./name kill it, find the scripts on the server and remove them, my guess is your already to late anyways and your server is probably compromised, i would shut the forum down as well as kill apache/php, as well as postfix. upgrade your server backend as well.

arent the passwords encrypted? Theyre not stored in their native text anywhere, even in the database

snakes1100 replied 1 month, 3 weeks ago
@tnc, that is true, but that is changable.

msimen replied 1 month, 3 weeks ago

what mods do you have installed?

msimen replied 1 month, 3 weeks ago
i removed all mods ,still the same problem where is the script sending that !!

TNCclubman replied 1 month, 3 weeks ago
what were the mods. The fact you removed them means nothing if thats how they got in.

Could it be that this script somehow gives an extra login prompt (fake) and that your users are actually entering their info in there? Save all your files and database. Disable and remove (all files!!) all modifications Disable all your styles and create a new style with no parent (= default style) and set this to be the only style to be used on your board. Check for modified ...

The above script can only sent out real passwords if your config.php file is set to sent plain text passwords to the server. On a default installation plain text passwords are hashed on the client side and never even sent to the server. It is strongly recommended, the proof is in this thread, not to allow unhashed passwords to be sent to the server.

This happened on a vB board I'm a member of a few weeks ago. The server was compromised and a harvesting script that prompted usernames and passwords to be entered was planted on the homepage. These were logged to a txt file and later published online with everyones usernames and passwords. The amount of times a member tried to login was how many times they appeared on the list in the txt file. This is the reason why your...
