I posted about a PHP form i have on my page. I didnt run "htmlspecialchars" on it. So a couple of hackers got into my page. They were pretty nice about helping me out and told me how to plug the holes, etc. But he said "Well, I was able to view the entire hard drive, upload a script of my own, look at the entire password file, etc.. " My site is run off a Unix server and i think he ran some uniq commands to find passwords etc. How do i reset these passwords? I know I have a password to FTP into my site but i dont know of any other passwords that relate to my site. But i think there were probably a lot of different people who tried to take a poke at my page. >> Stay informed about: stealing bandwidth

Kkiely, anyone who views your pages will use bandwidth. Bandwidth theft usually refers to hotlinking images, and sometimes a robot will use tons of your bandwidth without having to bother hacking into your site. Sometimes people will hack into your site in order to use you as a host for porn, warez, or whatever they don't want to get caught distributing themselves. This happened to someone I know quite recently. You should look into this. -- Alice Woolley http://www.insidethebubble.co.uk/ Inside the Bubble - autism information >> Stay informed about: stealing bandwidth

Bandwidth does not exist in cable communications, only in radio waves. The usage of the word was applied to the internet because it sounded fancier and could mean any number of things so hosts can rip you off more.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: stealing bandwidth
