I dont think it had an uploader script unless it was on by default.
Javascript was enabled though so maybe that could have allowed things to go on.

I just changed permission to 755 on admin.php which is
Owner permissions: Read Write Execute
Group Permissions: Read Execute
Public Permissions: Read Execute

however I still cannot access it. Im pretty sure my version was up to date as well as im using v1.2 FINAL and thats the most recent on the website.
in the viperguestbook directory there is no longer a index.php file. Does that mean it has been removed by the loser "hacker"?

Is there a way I can maybe 'repair' the install as to keep all entries and database info etc but fix this all up?

Thanks for the help so far

Try reuploading the index.php. Most likely their was no information been stored in the index.php and just uploading it again will have no ill effect on your site/data.

How do I re-upload it when I dont have it? it was all installed when I setup the guestbook.

Solution 1: set it up again, however you do that.  It worked before, it will work again.

Solution 2: if you have any idea what the name of the guestbook script was, Google (or someone here) could help you find it and you could only extract and upload the files you need.

Ok I managed to find *by chance* an old index.php that I had on an old hard drive that I was once using when I was editing the style, skin etc.
So I uploaded that and that was fine. One more thing I had to do was change the permissions on every single little file, including all little images, so they were back viewable again.

To cut it short I managed to get it back up and running again. Can anyone offer any suggestions on how I can prevent this happening again as it was quite a hassle.
There is an upload folder in the viperguestbook directory I just noticed so i've changed the permissions on that to hopefully only make it viewable by the owner. Anything else you can think of?

Once again thanks for the help everyone.

I went to www.vipergb.de.vu and it says version 1.2 is "No longer updated!"

yea I know. thats why I said its the most recent version on the website.
I would assume 1.2 FINAL is newer than X1?

Upgrade to X1.0
from 1.2 FINAL or X1.x

It would appear that X1.0 is newer.
