Question

Posted

Hello to all MxC!

Im fucking nervous:

When I got up this morning and logged into my server machine, someone had attacked me. My database and server files were erased. I have and l2j freya server (low rates if thats mind, I dont think so). How this could be!!? How someone has access to my dedicated? Im the only one who knew the machine pwd and the db was protected with a strong pwd. I have the web in the same machine as server, could be for that?

 

Anyway, I would need any typs to prevent that again.

 

Waiting for replies asap  :-[

Or a SQL injection. If your mysql user had file read or write permissions that could have been exploited very easily for total pwnage.

Yeah from the website easily.

Get a better password for your MySQL. If you used root/root it's most likely even for a newbie to log into your database.

Also, if your MySQL is on your local machine, disable external access to it.

1) never use the root user, or any user that has all permissions.

2) unless it's needed (such as when creating accounts) I only use a user that has read permission.

3) disable external access.
