In Windows, SHIFT-right click will sometimes give you the Open with... option. When other programs modified the context menu, it seems to interfere with this. The other option is to start your text editor then open the file from within the editor.

You can actually just drag and drop the file into your open text editor to view the contents.
I don't know.

timely thread ... I've been hacked twice in the last two weeks as well (after years of running xoops)

Found this thread after figuring out from the server logs that in the most recent attack that they had used the spaw editor embedded in xt_conteudo to insert a new home page.

I've deleted the spaw editor but have left xt_conteudo installed with no wysiwyg editing since I have a fair amount of content under it ... anyone know whether there are any other holes in it? (I have protector installed as well)

also with regard to phpsuexec ... I have also chmod 755 on all the folders that were previously writable and the site seems to be working so that suggestion appears to be a good idea as well :)

Thanks for all the tips!

You can safely use the content module, which works quite similar to xt_conteudo. As far as I know there is even an upgrade script from xt_conteudo within the content module.

I removed Even News from my sites. Caused a major spam problem. Doesn't necessarily mean it's a security risk though.

I think SmartFactory have an alternative newsletter subscription module.

It could be useful to add a .htaccess file in the uploads folder that makes sure only .jpg .gif and .zip files are accessible from the web. .


Stick this in your .htaccess file in any upload directory..

AddHandler cgi-script .php .pl .py .jsp .asp .htm .shtml .sh .cgi 
Options -ExecCGI

What does that do, xgarb or anyone else?

Placing the .htaccess with that in it, in the uploads folder, does what?

This is cool, you are basically categorizing all files that end in certain extensions so that they fall under the jurisdiction of the -ExecCGI command, which also means -FollowSymLinks. And the opposite is also true, +ExecCGI also turns on +FollowSymLinks

What does this mean? Can someone rephrase this in simpler terms? Thanks.
I don't know.

stops any executable files (the ones listed) by assigning them to CGI and then stopping CGI from working...

sort of anyway!

It works for me when tested.
