How to quickly fix a base64-infected website

Base64 attacks are becoming more and more common these days. They involve exploiting a PHP vulnerability on a website and injecting malicious, base64-obfuscated code. The main targets of such attacks are poorly coded plugins that feature security holes. The encoded code is decoded when the infected .php file is loaded and the actual attack is carried out. A popular attack is to forward a website to another page, which grants the attacker an affiliate bonus. Here is an example of what a base64 hack looks like in a .php file: eval(base64_decode ("dGhpcyBpcyBhIHRlc3Q=")); – this code will output "this is a test" when decoded. A regular base64 code snippet will be significantly longer. On our web hosting platform, there are several ways to deal with such hacks: Restore a backup With our cloud hosting accounts, we offer multiple daily backups, so anyone can easily revert to a previous version of a website with just a click. And we keep backups for up to 30 days. Here is ...

In Such Situations, it Might Not Matter What You Wear...

A man, called to testify at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), asked his accountant for advice on what to wear. "Wear your shabbiest clothing. Let him think you are a pauper," the accountant replied. Then he asked his lawyer the same question, but got the opposite advice. "Do not let them intimidate you. Wear your most elegant suit and tie." Confused, the man went to his priest, told him of the conflicting advice, and requested some resolution to the dilemma. "Let me tell you a story," replied the Priest. "A woman, about to be married, asked her mother what to wear on her wedding night. 'Wear a heavy, long, flannel nightgown that goes right up to your neck." But when she asked her best friend, she got conflicting advice. "Wear your most sexy negligee, with a V neck right down to your navel." The man protested: "What does all this have to do with my problem with the IRS?!" "Simple", replied the Priest. ...

JOKES FOR THE DAY

HURRY HOME A Hindu in the US suffered a heart attack on the road and was picked up by an ambulance. Being religious, he kept repeating "Hari Om! Hari Om! Hari Om!" When the ambulance pulled into his driveway, his wife came out and screamed at the paramedics. "Why didn't you take him straight to the hospital?" They replied : "Because he kept saying hurry home! Hurry home! Hurry home!" 1. A Quote seen on a man's T-shirt: All women are devils... But my wife is the QUEEN of them! 2. Man was sent on earth to suffer... Woman was sent to make sure it happens! 3. Husband and Wife always compromise on most situations. Husband always admits that he is wrong, and wife agrees with him. 4. A Husband and Wife had a long argument.

The Japanese Are Developing Artificial Blood And It Could Potentially Do Away With Blood Donation!  

The world has relied on the need for blood donations to perform different kinds of medical procedures on a human body. But how does one depend on something there is a severe shortage of? A Japanese startup might have the solution With about 35% of its population above the age of 65, Japan heads a list of countries with a population problem. According to a forecast, their population will fall by as much as 83 million by 2100. A shrinking population, among other things, also means an ever-decreasing number of blood donors in the country. The solution might lie in an alternative that a Japanese startup is working on - creating huge amounts of blood in vitro.     Megakaryon Genjiro Miwa, the president of Megakaryon, the startup in question, might have got a breakthrough by producing platelets in vitro from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. An opaque-clear liquid that can perhaps be the alternative to blood donations in the future. Miwa got the idea of manufacturing artificial ...

NOTHING IS YOUR

Everything starts with a Thought ! Most of the thoughts are not yours but from your parents, your teachers, your friends, the books, the movies, the television, the newspapers. Just count how many thoughts are your own, and you will be surprised that not a single thought is your own. All are from other sources, all are borrowed ― either dumped by others on you, or foolishly dumped by yourself upon yourself, but nothing is yours. Sow a thought, you reap an Action. Sow an act, you reap a Habit. Sow a habit, you reap a Character. Sow a character, you reap a Destiny..!

No, SEO isn’t “search engine manipulation” that Google will ban you for

Does Google now view search engine optimization as bad, as spam, as something you could get banned for? Almost certainly not, but that's the takeaway you could now get based on a legal fight between Google and a publisher that was banned from its search results. The case involves e-ventures Worldwide, which had many of its sites banned by Google and is fighting in court for damages as a result. As we covered earlier, Google lost a battle to have the case dismissed, so the fight continues. This week, an article in Entrepreneur highlighted an interesting part of Google's legal arguments, that "search engine manipulation" is something the company fights against, might ban anyone for and, importantly, is defined about the way many people might define SEO.     Google: SEO is not spam So, "Is Google Trying To Kill SEO," as the headline of the Entrepreneur article asks? Almost certainly not, as I'll explain. But let's start with Google's offic...

The World of Duplicate Content -Use of a Filter

By: Aaron Brooks The World Wide Web is like a running race or marathon where websites compete to reach the finish line first. In this case,the finish line is a higher ranking. And in this race for supremacy, it is important to avoid duplicate content and its penalties. To facilitate the efficient functioning of directories, search engines have been armed with content filters. This removes or filters duplicate content from pages it's indexing. And the most hurtful penalty is lower rankings. Unfortunately, these filters not only catch rogues but web pages that are genuine too. What webmasters need to do is understand how filters function and know what action is to be taken to avoid being filtered out. When a search engine sends out spiders the filters leave out or sieve: • Websites that feature identical content. And when within a site the webmaster includes many copies or versions of pages to cheat the search engines. Filters are also extremely sensitive to "doorway" pages...

Reasons Why You Look Unattractive And How You Can Fix That!

There is a huge misconception around the terms 'unattractive' and 'looks'. Honestly, there is a thin line between looking attractive and being attractive, but people often confuse the two. There can be men who are handsome yet look very shabby and unkempt. While there can be men who don't look that good, but are exceptionally well-groomed and are pretty popular among women.   While you might hear people say "Don't worry, just be yourself", "Looks don't matter" or "Just be confident"; nothing helps unless you really take the initiative. While some argue that looks shouldn't be the deciding factor, but the reality is that it does matter and a little grooming doesn't hurt anyone. Looking attractive does not mean you have to be a replica of your favourite actor with 6-pack abs. With a smart approach towards grooming, you can actually look good almost ALWAYS.     1. Identify Your Style And Look For The Best Opti...

The Unluckiest People On Earth

1. The Japanese who was hit by both atomic bombings: Hiroshima and Nagasaki   A resident of Nagasaki, Tsutomu Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on business for his employer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries when the city was bombed on August 6, 1945. He was actually preparing to leave the city on that day, and was on his way to the station, when he realised he had forgotten his "hanko" --a stamp allowing him to travel--, so he had to return to his workplace to get it. At 8:15, while he was walking back towards the docks, the American bomber Enola Gay dropped the Little Boy atomic bomb near the centre of the city, only 3 km away.  The explosion ruptured his eardrums, blinded him temporarily, and left him with serious burns over the left side of the top half of his body. After recovering, he spent the night in an air-raid shelter before returning to Nagasaki, the following day.  Back at home, in Nagasaki, he received treatment for his wounds, and despite being heavily ban...

Chinese company to test world's first single-passenger drone in US

The worlds first passenger drone, the Ehang 184, capable of autonomously carrying a person in the air for 23 minutes has received necessary approval from Nevada's governor's office needed to develop and be tested at the state's Federal Aviation Administration-approved drone test site. The Chinese firm Ehang, which unveiled the electric Ehang 184 passenger drone at CES in Las Vegas in January, says the Ehang 184 Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (AAV) is a 142-horsepower personal flying vehicle that can transport a single human being from Point A to Point B at an altitude of more than 11,000 feet. The southern China's Guangzhou-based company has partnered with the Nevada Institute for Autonomous Systems (NIAS) and the Governors Office of Economic Development (GOED) to put the drone through testing and regulatory approval. I personally look forward to the day when drone taxis are part of Nevadas transportation system, said Wilczek, Goeds aerospace and defense specialist. The ...

What we do to ensure top site performance and help improve search engine rankings- Josidel Hosting.

Generally speaking, good design lies at the heart of any successful website. However, neither the best web design layout nor the most reliable framework solution could make up for the glitches of the underlying web hosting service. You may have the best-looking site on the web, but if it suffers from frequent 'hiccups' ('hiccup' is a slang word for 'downtime'), then it will, instead, look 'sick' to your visitors. We've tried to summarize the major responsibilities of a decent web hosting provider. What are the main responsibilities of a host? Good web hosting can be defined in 3 words – uptime, performance and security. They all complement each other and serve as a criterion for defining the reliability of a given host. And you know what? Google thinks the same. Over the last few years, the leading search engine has added uptime,page loading speed and security to its ranking algorithm and uses them to define the reliability of a given website. So, th...

Jail Host is now enabled by default for all new hosts

Introduced to our web hosting platform more than a year ago, the Jail Host functionality has brought a new dimension to the concept of site security. By 'jailing' the 'germ' within the limits of a given host, Jail Host prevents it from spreading out to the rest of the account,offering extra protection against intruders who have managed to infiltrate into the system Now the Jail Host option is enabled by default for all newly created hosts to double protect them from intruders. How does the Jail Host option work? The main purpose of Jail Host is to outsmart eventual intruders. Even though security solutions are getting more and more reliable, hackers seem to always be one step ahead of the game. The truth is that no universal painkiller for hack attacks has been invented yet. This is where the extra Jail Host barrier can come in real handy. If an intruder does manage to break into a website, if Jail Host is enabled, they will not be able to move to another host and sprea...

Pay for click is a great way to grow a business online and to increase the return on investment. PPC is simple, once you really get an understanding for how it works.

PPC is an advertising method that lets you put your advertisements in text on a search engine page. Think of one of the popular search engines and what you see when you type in a se...

Facebook Entices VR Content Creators With Open Source Surround Cam

Facebook on Tuesday unveiled a high-quality 360-degree 3D camera suitable for creating virtual reality content. The Facebook Surround 360 system,which made its debut at the F8 developers conference, includes a production-ready camera -- which costs about US$30,000 to build and looks like a flying saucer from a science fiction movie -- and software for controlling the camera and for stitching and rendering what the camera captures. "In designing this camera, we wanted to create a professional-grade end-to-end system that would capture, edit and render high-quality 3D-360 video," said Brian K. Cabral, Facebook's director of engineering. "In doing so," he continued, "we hoped to meaningfully contribute to the 3D-360 camera landscape by creating a system that would enable more VR content producers and artists to start producing 3D-360 video." Is Facebook trying to get into the camera business? Not quite. Open Source 360 "Facebook isn...

E2E Encryption Could Make WhatsApp a Spam Magnet

Facebook's WhatsApp last week announced it would roll out end-to-end encryption for its users to better protect their privacy, but the move could make the service more attractive to spammers,too. While encryption can safeguard information from data thieves, it also can block data protectors from detecting malicious activity on their networks. "WhatsApp's encryption policy is a win for privacy advocates, but it will not stop the growth of spam on the platform and could make the problem worse," said Simeon Coney, chief strategy officer for AdaptiveMobile. "WhatsApp has always had limited spam control in place," he told TechNewsWorld, "and encryption will make detecting spam and malicious links with malware that much more difficult." Spam Magnet Over the last three to four years, mobile carriers have made it harder for spammers to deliver their junk messages,Coney noted. That's prodded them to look for greener pastures. "We've seen spamme...
