hey there,
I just went to have a look at my site's message board (http://wetpix.ceejaycee.net/viperguestbook/)
and a different page comes up.
I can get into the administration and control and all entries etc are still there. i just cant view the actual page.
My website is only a small site to show my photos taken of myself and friends bodyboarding etc. Must make the person feel real big to be able to hack it...
Anyway any help or suggestions on how i can get it back to normal?
Thanks guys

Because of sites like "zone-h.org" all the kiddies want to make their ego bigger by having more sites under their name. No matter have small and pointless the site is.

Chances are your content script was not up-to-date.

What content/admin software do you use?



I would suggest you back up your database and reinstall it.

can you show us what files are in the viperguestbook directory??


like how is the guestbook set out??


ps: ive taken the liberty of disabling his msn address..

Bah I'm getting sick of these wimpy hacks that these so called Islamic hackers are doing on sites. My forum got hacked in the same way. Just remember to keep all your stuff updated.\

I'll take a look to see if I can help you out here.

Can I just ask, how do you know it's been hacked? Because all I get is a 404 error page and that can happen for multiple reasons.

Its 403  now, but it was a replaced index file with really crappy music.

Iy is 404ing, but thats just because it can not find an errorpage.

There was a thing saying

'Hacked by <insert hacker's name here>'

Yes now it only goes to an error page but before it had a changed page with a stupid skull and the "hacker's" name.
I have just tried to access the viperguestbook directory via ftp and I cannot see inside it as now i do not have permission?? see below screenshot.

Also i can no longer access the online adminstration which was at http://wetpix.ceejaycee.net/viperguestbook/admin.php
I could do that yesterday before the error page.

Can anyone lend a hand here this is really annoying and i had alot of entries from friends, family etc that I would like to restore.

Thanks for the help so far guys


UPDATE: I just changed the permissions to the folder myself and i can now get in and look at the files within the directory via ftp. here is a shot of what it contains if it can help anyone.

Did your guestbook have an uploader script? Those are very open to hackers.

Check the CHMOD of your folder/files. Set admin.php to 755.
