uhmcastillo Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Wow, interesting. Are you on a home network? Router? DMZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymc Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 Its my server in London in a datacenter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhmcastillo Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Well, that is interesting... And those log entries are making crap requests. Try a non-standard port, just to make sure it's not something wrong with the server. See if there's a pattern among the IP addresses in the logs. Maybe it's a DDOS attack? Past that, I'm not sure, anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Yap - seems as if you have some worm or exploit on your server See: http://www.ossec.net/en/loganalysis.html Basically, you have the following requests in your access.log: azsx.biz 66.232.125.253 - - [18/Aug/2007:01:34:14 +0100] "GET http://azsx.biz/zx/proxy.php HTTP/1.1" 404 284 Its as if there is a proxy script or some exploit allowing people to use your server as a middle man. I.e. a person from "66.232.125.253" is using your computer to "GET http://azsx.biz/zx/proxy.php". A typical apache request is as follows: 123-255-50-154.net - - [18/Aug/2007:11:40:24 +0100] "GET /mortise_chisel.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 1027 ...do you see the differences in the GET string. Typicall apache should *ONLY* be GET or POST to local files, not http://someoneelsesserver.com/files. You seem to have it narrowed down to the forum software - so thats good. I would immediately disable and upgrade it to its latest release. You will also have to do a search for any files downloaded onto the server. If you had server monitoring you would have noticed the huge spike in incoming traffic when the exploit first started. Best of luck cleaning out the server. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymc Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 Ok, Ive done a bit of testing and hears what I find 1: If I put a .htaccess file in the forum DIR the spamming continues 2: If I rename the index.php file to indexssss.php the forum is inaccessable but the spamming continues 3: If I rename every sub folder to dirname_BLOCK the spamming continues 4: If I place a .htaccess file in every sub folder of the forum the spamming continues 5: If I name the forums folder from forum to forum_BLOCK the spamming continues It cant be a forum exploit or loophole in code. its my domain thats the target, but not the files within that domain. I did have an open proxy server, I received a report from the datacentre about it so took it off. It appears that this has been the cause of what ever is happening but with it being disable I cant understand how my server is being used to pass inforfrom users to website with my server as the middle one If its not a proxy server and if its not bad code then what can it be? Any advice would be great, Im stuck as hell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Humm...I thought when you initally said "when its .htaccess'd its fine". So....somehow you have some webapp installed somewhere that;s causing this. Anyways, a few things: is mod_proxy installed? are you doing mod_rewrites? Can you disable a particular vhost and see if the spamming continues? Disabling a folder/file here and there might not do much good. Are there *ANY* traces of that old open proxy server?? Thats probably how they tracked down your server in the first place IMO. You need to take more stringent action, directly editing and commenting out sites from apache (httpd.conf). Also, put a few rules into the firewall to block the main offenders. That might slow down the spamming so you can actually see whats going on. G'Luck, -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymc Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 Resolved now. The issue was an old proxy I had is listed in some kind of program which people are trying to use The reason the forum was effected is because thats the first VHOST in my apache conf On each request it was requesting the forum DIR thus generation I/* for mysql Thanks for advice guys !
