Thank you for your support!

Below is a list of what I plan to do with your contributions. Many of these idea's were requested by users and I am more than happy to hear about any ideas you may have. So hear they are, in no particular order:

  • Add a scheduling agent so that you can setup regular scan at set intervals and receive an email report if threats are found.
  • Add an easy way for you to report a specific file to me for closer examination when you find some malicious code that my plugin missed.
  • Make registration optional so you can download the definition updates without registering the plugin.
  • Add a JavaScript method to the login patch for when the session method is not available.
  • Create a list of professionals who are available for hire to remove malware if extra help is needed.
  • Check for new files that don't belong when running the Core Files Check to remove files that have been added to the wp-includes or wp-admin.
  • Create a non-WordPress-wrapper or CLI for people with infections on a non-WordPress site or for when your WordPress admin is not working.
  • Update the definitions of Known Threats as new malicious threats are discovered.

I will update this list when I hear your thoughts and suggestions too.

Here are a few of the major updates I was able to complete in the with past donations:

  • Added a Database scan to find and remove any malicious code injected directly into your content.
  • Added a Core Files Check to scan for any changes to WordPress files and restore them if any are found.
  • Added the ability to change the admin username if the current username is "admin".
  • Moved the quarantine files into the database and deleted the old directory in uploads.

Aloha and Mahalo,

Eli Scheetz

    I just wanted to add my own recommendation to the growing list of people who have benefited from Eli’s plugin. I was informed by Google yesterday that one of my websites had Malware and was being blocked. This also cancelled the Adwords campaign.

    I installed the plugin, did a full scan, it quarantined the malware files and a secondary scan showed there was nothing else wrong. I then contacted Google asking them to rescan the website for Malware and today the website is back up and running!

    What was a potentially nightmare situation was made clear and simple to solve by Eli – and he provides it to us for free! I have just made a donation and fully support him in future developements. Thanks Eli

    Thanks for developing the plugin. Donated a modest $10. Here’s what happened: It seems that a script was automatically put in the footer widget. I’ve deleted it and a couple of days later it came back. Re-install WordPress and it still keeps coming back.
    Then The site got blacklisted by Google. You know the scary page by Google whenever you visit a site.
    Deleted the script in the footer widget and resubmit to Google.
    Today when I went to my site, it re-directed automatically to another site. Checked and found the script again in the footer widget.
    Scan it using your plugin and found 1 know threat from a plugin. Repaired and I deleted the plugin. Actually I don’t really use that plugin much.
    Re-scan twice and it looks safe for now.
    Just wondering how did it managed to infect that particular file and caused a script to be placed in the footer widget over and over again?

      Do you still have the infected file? If so, check the timestamp on the file, you may be able to find a reference to it in your raw access logs. If you can send me the files I can tell you more.

    Your great plugin hit the spot again – found 4 malware injections in 4 of my 5 websites – am sending you another $10 donation – well worth the expense.

    A question – in spite of making all sorts of recommendations to try to keep my sites secure, these hackers still seem to be able to plant malware infections. Do you have any thoughts of how they gain access to sites?

    I was wondering if it was practical to keep a record of time & dates of all IPs that gain access and then compare that with file changes (I have one plugin installed that issues file change warnings)?

    Regards

    Will

      Thanks for the additional donation!

      My Plugin automatically fixes the security hole in timthumb files but it sounds like you may have another kind of vulnerability on your server. I think it’s less important to know who changed your files then it is to know how they did it. IPs are not going to help you as much as knowing what vulnerability was exploited to gain access to your server.

      What I would do is to scan frequently for new infections. When one is found, don’t fix it right away, first “stat” the file and check the “Change” time to see exactly when this happend (Not the “Modify” time you usually see in your FTP client or maybe even that “file change warning” plugin you have). Then search your raw access log files for that time (within a few seconds) to see if there are any fishy parameter passed to a vulnerable script. Keep in mind it could be in the raw access logs for another domain (multiple domains on a shared server can easily infect each other).

      I am happy to help you track it down if you want to let me know ASAP the next time you get infected. I would need SSH access or another way to “stat” a file and access to your raw access logs for all domains. Then just give the path to an untouched infected file and I could figure out if it was a script on your server that allowed it to get infected.

    Hey Eli

    You saved my hide again. I set up some new WP product sites and within 2 days redirects were everywhere including my other sites. Must have come from 1 of the plugins I used or the theme I installed.

    But your plugin cleaned it all up.

    I made a small donation for the big help you provide.

    Can you email me….I want to pass along a message I got from Sucuri.

    I hope other users adopt the same policy of supporting this fantastic plugin – surely each time it finds and clears up an infection is worth at least at least an hours pay?

    Hey my dude, having some issues with the wp-content scan it hangs. I’m on google’s malware list and I’ve been de-railed because of it. I’ve removed all the plugins your app said could possibly cause issues, then I scanned with wp-content… it goes for about 3 – 5 minutes and then does a 404 error. Let me know if you have any thoughts on what I can do to remedy the situation. If you need more info (if you think it’s a bug or whatever) I’d be jazzed to let you take a look see. Thanks for your time.

      Read the FAQs. “Potential Threats” are usually not bad at all but if you think you have an infection they are the best place to start looking. There are lots of legitimate reasons for using “eval” so you don’t want to go removing them all automatically.

      I could look at for you if you want to give me access but I would guess it would be accurate. Each file listed is a link and clicking the link will show you the contents of the file. When examining the file you should see “Potential threats in file: ( 1,2 )” above the file contents box. the numbers are links to the places in the files that were identified as “Potential threats”. You can examine the cone in that area of the file and determine for yourself if it looks malicious or not. Keep in mind that “Potential threats” in yellow are likely not malicious but the one in RED are “Know threats” that I feel need to be removed. Also, note that removal of the treat does not mean removal of the file. There are many necessary files that get infected with one line of malicious code. My tactic is to remove the known malicious code form the file without breaking the rest of the code in the file.

      Please let me know if this was helpful or if you feel there is something wrong with my plugin. I would be more than happy to look at it for you.

    Thanks for this plugin – most timely! I’ve donated a modest $10 in support but if this clears all my sites I’ll increase that.

    Here’s my scenario. The way my webhost is setup is that I have 5 websites hanging off a single domain, waterwaywatch.org. The entire domain – that is all 5 websites – look like they may have been hacked.

    I had spotted and cleared (deleted) the offending code on one of the sites prior to finding your plugin but has returned within hours so I clearly didn’t get to the root of the infection. I have cleared that site again with your plugin and am waiting to see if it is fixed.

    Any suggestions?

      Thanks for working with me via email this past week to uncover this new threat. Giving me full access to your server and WP Admin was invaluable in discovering the malicious code that was causing your server to get re-infected. I have added the new threat to the definition of “known threats” so that others can benefit from this discovery too.

      I would, of course, be greatly appreciative of that increased donation you mentioned. It also helps to Rate my plugin “five stars” in the WordPress Plugin Directory:

        I must say that I have been most impressed with your plugin and the dedication that you showed when my sites were infected with something that was then unknown to any malware plugin or detection site I could find.

        It is very satisfying to now that the markers you found have now been incorporated into your plugin and will protect others from it.
