a website has been hacked

[Bert W]

I installed php-nuke on a web site and it has been hacked. when going to the 'home' page, it shows and then redirects to someone else.
how do I clear this out from the site? I am willing to remove php-nuke completely.

Most likely, you need to remove a line that starts with <meta refresh...> in the index.php. Remove that line, and then figure out how they put it there in the first place.

you ought to check www.phpnuke.org with this problem.

What version? It would be helpful to know so we can take corrective action to either remove what Fantastico is deploying or so we can inform our users.

By the sounds of this, it sounds as if someone has found another sql injection method OR some kiddie has gotten their hands on one for an older version of nuke. If this redirect is happening when you hit the main page, you can login to the admin section and just remove the post or login to cpanel and edit th SQL.

One of the more common issues is not phpnuke being injected itself, but if this site has a shoutbox, or tagboard that does not strip html content then they are easier targets for wannabe hackers. I will be glad to assist you in correcting this if you would like
