Hi, I am trying to find something that I can use on my server that will periodically check the files on the server against a predefined set and if changes are made to the files it will revert back to the old file. The idea is that if the site is hacked it will automatically "fix" itself. Ideally I would like something that checks MYSQL DB's as well. I have seen sites that seem to be using something that does this but haven't been able to find a way to do it myself. Any help would be much appreciated!
your approach is different from default approach thats why you may never have seen such solution offered normal default approach is to really secure your site ALL the npossible way including but NOT limited to mod_security snort fail2ban serverkey authentication limited or NO member access and other security software such as rootkits check etc just over-writing hacked files may eventually lead to the word spreading in all www that your site remains open for all hackers thanks to your own lack of security knowledge and efforts !!!! of course there are ppl who say every site can be hacked ... but the point is that most hackers hack sites to abuse such sites / servers for illegal stuff such as phishing sites etc there are millions of sites open to be hacked in minutes therefore the simple fact that you have done a FULL effort to secure all common and easy security vulnerabilities makes your secured site a hackers choice of minor interest. why spend real efforts to hack a site if there are millions instantly open for hackers ....
