Aureole Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I just realized there is a file called core.15516 when I was uploading something via FTP. It is 48.7 MB... I am the only person with FTP access to my site. I did a Google search for core.15516 and there was ONE result, this site... to me this is worrying... What say you?

Aureole Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Well I deleted the file and I changed my cPanel and FTP login details so I shall just hope for the best.

neylitalo Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Core files are useful information when you need to debug a problematic application, usually in the realm of buffer overflows or segmentation faults. Although I've never heard of an application leaving a core dump automatically, it is possible - so that's my guess.
