Posted: Mon 18 Nov '13 4:40 Post subject: Site And/Or Apache Blasted HTML Injection |
|
|
I have a simple plain non commercial webcam site running - at home - for years. Myself & number of locals - and some former locals - use it for local/family specific info. Runs Apache/2.2.0 (Win32) PHP/5.1.2. Mysql & tiny bit PHP used. Mod_security Jan 2006. Also runs Trend Rubotted.
Woke up day after Rememberance Day (!) to find site down & Rubotted showing HTML_COMMAND_INJECTION_REQUEST Error & PARTIALLY fixed. Poking around looks like HTTPD.EXE deleted !
Googling a little bit looks like I may have been a victim of DARKLEECH. I think. I'm not a professional webmaster type. Just an old programmer trying to get some local & family benefit out of an old PC ASUS P/I-P55T2P4 running an AMD K6 @ 450MHz (!) Win XP.
1. Any suggestions for cleaning up/out existing site(s) & site html ? Really needed - or has attempt failed ?
2. Once cleaned, I can reset it up with later versions. Only takes time - being a senior - I'm running a little short of; and really don't need the aggravation. Am considering whether the time input to keep ahead of the Internet Criminals is worth my time.
3. Any suggestions for setup &/or 'Hardening' the site to give me some peace away from constant maintenance to stay ahead of the darker elements in our midst - for a little while longer ?
Thoughts ? |

I think you upgrade apache and mod security to the last version and also look in the mod security rules if there is something against that intruder.
Apache 2.2.ZERO is pretty old! |

You are right. Have to upgrade. But to where ? I note latest download proviso ..
Quote: | A VC11 binary loads VC11, VC10 and VC9 modules, and does not run on XP and 2003. |
So given my older XP-P-SP3, can you suggest the correct versions of Apache, VCxx, /System/MSVCRxx.dll, PHP, Mysql ?
PS - Even then, does the vanilla-non-commercial Mod_Security configuration foil Injection errors ?? |

There is a download page for VC10 Win32 with 2.2.26.
The non commercial mod security can block all injections! Important are the rules that you use. |

1. If going thru the effort for 2.2.26, Is there a reason not to go with a newer vsn like 2.4 ? Perhaps it will not run on XP ??
2. Can I JUST update Mod_Security and/or rules while running 2.2.0 ?
3. Is & where might one find more / better rules than the Mod_Security defaults - keeping in mind my home server budget = -zero- !? |
