This Site Was Hacked — And so the fun begins…

Posted by Jeremy Gillick on 18 Oct 2006 04:55 pm in Miscellaneous

Last week this site was hacked into and brought down. I couldn’t access it through SSH or anything so I had to reboot it into safe-mode. The good news is none of the data was compromised and I was able to back everything up safely, the bad news is I had to reimage the server in case a root kit was installed. Now I have to go through the process of reinstalling EVERYTHING! As you can see I’ve gotten the blog back up but I still have to reinstall and configure SVN, ViewVC, Trac, Webmin among other things. Webmin and SVN are usually straight forward, but I remember the headaches I had trying to get ViewVC and Trac to work. Wish me luck and a lot of coffee.
