Re: Site going down.

I updated the server yesterday and it appears to have stopped ftp working.

Re: No data from console to Cumulus MX

It’s just sending back the same six characters regardless of the command Cumulus sends.

<lf> <cr> OK <lf> <cr>

The response OK is part of the protocol, but I can’t remember exactly when it’s used. It’s not what Cumulus is expecting.

Re: No data from console to Cumulus MX

I can't look at this in detail right now as I am on holiday, but it looks like it's having trouble communicating with the console. You're not trying to run any other software with the station at the same time, are you?

Re: Site going down.

The spam has started again. I have blocked outgoing traffic on port 25 and will investigate when I get home, I've had enough of this for now. I strongly advise anyone whose web site is on this server to start making alternative arrangements. I will refund any payments made, pro-rata, on request to s...

Re: Site going down.

I created a dummy certificate when I enabled secure ftp on the server when testing the code I added to Cumulus MX. Filezilla will try to use secure ftp in preference and will get the dummy certificate. I suppose I should really disable secure ftp on the server, I get asked about this regularly. The ...

Re: Site going down.

I believe the malware is no more, although there is still a slight oddity to be explained, but this apparently is not doing any harm. Hetzner are going to review after two days. After which I will re-enable the outgoing smtp port so that mail from the forum will start working again, and hopefully th...

Re: Site going down.

I don't really have much to offer, I just deleted installations of things like Wordpress and Drupal which hadn't been kept up to date. This entry (and others similar) in the apache log looked suspicious (thanks go to Ken for suggesting that a suspicious POST was something to look for) and from googl...

If this hasn't sorted it, I'm calling in the big guns - Ken and Mark have both kindly offered to help.

I think I may have found it. No recurrence for well over an hour.

Re: Site going down.

The bad news is that I haven't been able to find the source of the infection and it keeps reinstalling itself. I have now blocked outgoing SMTP. This means that amongst other things, steve@sandaysoft.com will not work, and neither will forum registrations. I have spent all day on this and now I am r...

Re: Site going down.

Hopefully I have prevented the malware from being activated now and have asked Hetzner to confirm that the server can stay up. They were actually very helpful once they had blocked the server.

Re: Site going down.

Just a quick post as I am trying to fix things. The server was blocked and it appears Hetzner were right all along, once they told me what the likely malware was, I was able to find it and remove it. Now looking at stopping it recurring. No idea how it got in but Wordpress is a likely candidate. As ...
