find problems

First let me say that a complete format and reinstall will be necessary when your done doing forensics.

Probably good places to start looking would be to take a look at the apache/httpd logs for any abnormal error messages. Also look through the general system logs for anything suspicious. You should definitely download and run rootkit hunter and chkrootkit on the system, as there are a bunch of things listening as services that shouldn't be (like init for example), which makes a rootkit likely. If that's the case, then you may need to use a cd-based distro like knoppix-std or FIRE to do any further analysis.

You may have some luck looking those processes up by their process ID number in /proc//cmdline. If you find anything interesting there (like a path to the binary) take a look at the contents and see what you can find.

ssh

1. Generate a public/private key pair on the local machine
(ssh client): >
ssh-keygen -t rsa
(saving the file in ~/.ssh/id_rsa as prompted)

2. Just hit the when asked for passphrase (twice) for no
passphrase. If you do use a passphrase, you will also need to use
ssh-agent so you only have to type the passphrase once per session.
If you don't use a passphrase, simply logging onto your local
computer or getting access to the keyfile in any way will suffice
to access any ssh servers which have that key authorized for login.

3. This creates two files: >
~/.ssh/id_rsa
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

4. On the target machine (ssh server): >
cd
mkdir -p .ssh
chmod 0700 .ssh

5. On your local machine (ssh client): (one line) >
ssh {serverhostname}
cat '>>' '~/.ssh/authorized_keys2' < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

or, for OpenSSH, (one line) >
ssh {serverhostname}
cat '>>' '~/.ssh/authorized_keys' < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

You can test it out with >
ssh {serverhostname}
and you should be log onto the server machine without further need to type
anything.

If you decided to use a passphrase, do: >
ssh-agent $SHELL
ssh-add
ssh {serverhostname}
You will be prompted for your key passphrase when you use ssh-add, but not
subsequently when you use ssh.

Export and Backup Emails from Outlook to Gmail Online

It's possible to download emails from gmail into Outlook but is it possible to do it in reverse? Amit tells us we can in this step by step guide.

Step 1: Enable IMAP in your Gmail account and then
configure Outlook (or Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail) to sync
with your Gmail address via IMAP. Read this guide.

Step 2: Import your Outlook PST file into a Personal folder that is different from your default Gmail Inbox.

To import, click File -> Import And Export -> Import from another program or file. -> Next -> Personal Folder File (.pst)
-> Next.

Select the PST file that contains your email, then pick the email folders that you want to import in Outlook and click Finish.

Step 3: Select the Personal folders that you want to backup online and copy them your Gmail Folder in Outlook.

In the Folder List, right-click the folder you want to copy and click Copy Folder name. Click the Gmail Folder in Outlook to copy that folder in that location. You can repeat the steps as needed for other folders.

That's it!

How to reset my Joomla administrator password?

Joomla's admin username can be easily changed with a simple MySQL query. The most convenient way to manage the database is through the phpMyAdmin tool. Go to your cPanel and click on phpMyAdmin in the Databases box. (If you are not using cPanel or do not have phpMyAdmin, you can run the query directly for Joomla's database.)

Once in the phpMyAdmin select the Joomla database from the drop-down menu at left. The page will refresh and the database's tables will be displayed on it. Open the SQL tab (look at the top navigation bar).

In the text field write the following SQL query:

UPDATE `jos_users` SET `password` = MD5( 'new_password' ) WHERE `jos_users`.`username` = "admin" ;

"new_password" - replace this with the new password you wish to use.
"admin" - replace this if your admin username is different.

Once you are ready, click on the GO button to submit the query. If everything goes fine without errors, you should be able to login to Joomla with the new password.

Note: These instructions are valid both for Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.0.*.



If you have problems resetting the password yourself, ask your host for assistance. SiteGround provides the best Joomla hosting and such requests are handled with ease.
