PHPInclude (Santy.C) Worm Attack

Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

The site was unreachable for more than an hours, as we got hit by a worm attacking sites with php, an evolution of the Santy.A worm that hit thousands of phpBB sites the last few days

Luckily for Apolyton, Top40-Charts was being hit from the same worm the last two days and Apolyton was hit after me finding out a way to stop it

A quick fix has been applied to most pages and I'm now looking at a more thorough solution

Interested webmasters can mail me about it at my markg at apolyton.net address

How does this attack work and how can one protect?

I don't think that I can get affected since I don't include on variables that I have not checked or set before.

But I have lots of

PHP:


require(dirname(__FILE__)."/inc.php");

is this a problem?

More info

Note that Google has already blocked the specific request that the original Santy.a worm uses, so perhaps Santy.c uses a different one.

google has taken action against santy.a since the 22nd. still top40 was hit from santy.c (which actually doesnt have anything to do with phpbb) since friday evening and apolyton only got hit last night

it seems that there are thousands of servers still hit and trying to infect others

I think you benefited from the exploitation of others. Even if you knew nothing about it, you are still guilty.

I'm innocent!

If it were a true socialism (to each according to his ability, and to each according to his labor) I should have at least got some distribution of common goods don't you think? I mean look at my labor.

I'm assuming you mean "needs" not labor.

And comrade, where did you get the idea that you could purchase an elite status in our society via the Secret Order of the Apolyton Plus?

If it were "needs" it would be communism, instead of socialism. And we all know we are not there yet.

As for elite status, everybody knows that it exist in every true socialism regime. The very gact that it can be purchased though, is a proof that Poly is evil capitalistic.

It's astonishing Urban Ranger didn't post a thread about this in the off-topic forum, what with it being another Windows/IIS worm attacks. Everyone should switch to Linux.

Oh wait, what's that? Apolyton runs on Linux and was affected?

Where's that rug I shove things under.
