I’ve been comprimised. Guess it’s time to take my cyanide capsule.
In actuallity I was hacked. My dedicated server at GoDaddy was hacked a while ago. How did they get in? Microsoft’s FTP. I’m not sure how but they did. They started using me as a place to store a ton of movies and such.
Since then I have been using FileZilla’s FTP server with no problems.
Then I noticed it last night. I analyzed my computer using the defrag utility on Windows 2003 and BOOM.
So I looked at this more. I saved the defragment analyzer results and looked at the first file. It was
\System Volume Information\catalog.wci\RP00\OP.King.Of.Skate.Disc.1.NTSC.sk8dvdr.part2.rar
King of Skate? There were a ton of them. I believe this is a remnant from when I was hacked way back when. Hopefully I wasn’t hacked again.
So how do we get rid of these files. I tried browsing to C:\System Volume Information\catalog.wci. Success, it existed. However the directory RP00 does not exist. I tried entering it into the command bar and still nothing.
TO THE COMMAND LINE I ran CMD.EXE and got to the root.
CD System* That got us to the system dir.
CD Catalog.wci
CD RP00
SUCCESS!
A quick DIR showed about 50 RAR skater files. Too afraid to see what was in them I deleted them. (del *.rar). Backed out one level (cd..) and then removed the directory (rd RP00).
It’s amazing how half your harddrive can get filled without you knowing.
I’ll be keeping an eye on the free space and implementing a better backup solution IN CASE something worse happens.
