My host says that they are somehow uploading a script (possibly thru the avatar) even though I turned it off?

somehow the scripts are being ran thru my dedicated server in the /var/tmp and /tmp dir's

the hackers keep creating files called AohK
anyone familar with this?

Installing "Protector" can help you to secure all uploaded files.
but it more seems a bad configuration in the server.
if as you wrote this is your dedicate server, you should see apache logs.

On a XOOPS site i took over administration of i found a disabled module called cjaycontent in wich some scriptciddies was able to upload files to the server even it was disabled. had to delete the modulefolder

The file they uploaded to /tmp edited and added a ifame on every html and php file that had chmdod 777 or was owned by nobody on the whole server so yea, that wasted some time for us. think it was maybe 30 sites affected that time

So if you have cjaycontent or other module with uploading stuff, try if you can reach the uploading files without being logged in.

thats EXACTLY what happen to my site and my server.

I removed all the files I can, I just hope that they dont come back or have some files that were not found.

Anyways, im having a hard time installing that protector module. The instructions are the greatest.
