Hello!<br />
<br />
Our webserver with plesk was infected by a &quot;runforestrun&quot;-script. After removing this script within the index.htm(l)-files the website was running fine. After a while we encountered same problem at another vhost. Some weeks later again at another domain.<br />
<br />
We didn't find any evidence in any log-file. So we are screwed.<br />
Are there any watchers that can tell us who/when and how the intrusion will be made?<br />
After that we can close the door that causes this problem.<br />
<br />
Plesk was updated to the latest version after frirst attack. No passwords where changed after that. After all there might be a bad script we can't find.<br />
<br />
So, any suggestions?<br />
Thanks a lot<br />

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Web Servers

The Apache HTTP Server is a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards. Typically Apache is run on a Unix-like operating system, but it is available for a wide variety of operating systems, including Linux, Novell NetWare, Mac OS-X and Windows. Released under the Apache License, Apache is open-source software.

The Linux operating system, in all its flavors, has its own share of security flaws that allow intrusions, but there are various mechanisms by which these flaws can be removed, generally divided into two parts: authentication and access control. Authentication is responsible for ensuring that a user requesting access to the system is really the user with the account, while access control is responsible for controlling which resources each account has access to and what kind of access is permitted.
