Q: Wordpress site security issue

I can't seem to figure out where the hole is in my wordpress that causes a hacker to install some php files in some wordpress directories. The security plugin Wordfence, catches those files, but I can't seem to understand how this happens. Any help appreciated. Image attached that shows what Wor...

malware wordpress

where do we get these ppl?

how do they get gainfully employed to do technical things?

1:02 AM

@schroeder better question: what the hell is that scanner

A: How does this giant regex work?

This is not entirely a regular expression. The regex is /.*/, which basically means "match everything". The /e Modifier however eval()'s the code in the next parameter. In fact this is a way for someone to hide code. The following proof that this is a backdoor, and you must remove it imme...

1:59 AM

@TildalWave literally me everything I regex

@Ohnana I'm gonna fix you.

@Simon it tastes like someone pissed in rubbing alcohol

@Ohnana wot?

I can't edit it

*everytime

@Ohnana You have so much to learn.

2:02 AM

@Ohnana ah I thought you're just testing if I'm still present

@Simon honestly I just want to party in bars with my friends and glasses of water

but noooooo blue laws are a thing in my state

@Ohnana Blue laws?

Blue laws —known also as Sunday laws—are laws designed to restrict or ban some or all Sunday activities for religious standards, particularly the observance of a day of worship or rest. Blue laws may also restrict shopping or ban sale of certain items on specific days, most often on Sundays in the western world. Some Islamic nations may ban on Fridays. Blue laws are enforced in parts of the United States as well as some European countries, particularly in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Norway keeping most stores closed on Sundays. In the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court have held blue...

@Simon anti-alcohol laws. My state includes "no minors allowed in drinking establishments" in their blue laws

@TildalWave Oh lawd.

@Ohnana Well, it works the same here but we're legal at 18.

2:06 AM

@Simon but you can be in a pub if you're not 18, no?

just not allowed to be served alcohol

@TildalWave Nope.

oh

Gotta be 18 to club etc.

club? night club? no, I mean pubs and such

It would be the same for pubs.

Hell, even a pool room that serves alcohol is 18+.

I believe that any establishment that serves alcohol (except restaurants) is 18+.

2:16 AM

@Simon hmm. now I'm not so bitter about missing out on drag shows

2:37 AM

@Ohnana As in drag queens?

@Simon and kings

@Ohnana Haha, those must be full of lulz.

@Simon wouldn't know. I CAN'T GO

i lied, I'm still bitter

Stop being a donut, you'll have plenty of time to go once you're legal.

2 hours later…

5:07 AM

My hobby: Pretending to miss the sarcasm when people show off their lack of interest in football by talking about 'sportsball' and acting excited to find someone else who's interested, then acting confused when they try to clarify.

5:40 AM

I wonder how detectable it is if you store whatever key was used last with built-in encryption instructions in 256 bits of storage in the CPU.

3 hours later…

8:42 AM

@Simon Wat. America is weird. (I'm talking about the continent)

Over here you can enter a pub at any age, they just can't serve any alcohol to you until 16, and no high alcohol percentage drinks until 18.

In the UK you can also drink alcohol from 14 in a restaurant, with parent's permission, with food

(Might not be all UK)

8:58 AM

I think it's earlier in Scotland

@StackExchange this is me, I do this

except when the subject is information security

I know nothing about that and have no time for it

also: morning \o/

Morning :-)

I must now depart

Bye! Have a good day!

...to the other room, for music!

9:08 AM

Well ok then :-P

I technically just commuted to work in my pyjamas

and now I'm technically at work, in my pyjamas

I approve of this!

and now I'm sat at my desk, at work, in my pyjamas, listening to loud music, eating cold pizza for breakfast

I approve of this!

and now I'm going to stop procrastinating and actually do something

9:12 AM

I approve of this!

oh so you want me to leave?

FINE

@kalina morning, so you made it back to XXXX ok then?

I don't believe I told you that

@kalina you mentioned you were heading home :)

but the location was just a guess

interesting

well at least I escaped the snow

for now, anyway

9:16 AM

yeah we have like 4" here from yesterday with more on the way

Ug didn't mean to repeat myself

Fluffing work internet shat a brick

Reloaded to be being logged out sighs

it's nearly 10 degrees here

@kalina that's about 10 higher than here!

it's still at least 10 lower than I'd want on a day to day basis

for me somewhere between 8-18 is just fine

9:20 AM

I prefer wearing one layer of clothing and not running the heating

9:57 AM

why do guys complain about their relationships to their female friends, rather than just having basically the same conversation with the person they're in a relationship with

10:28 AM

Because we are scared of losing the person we are in a relationship with

@BarryCarlyon If you are going to complain about your relationship to anyone but your partner, it's not going to end well...The only way to get your issues fixed is by talking to your partner.

@Arperum I don't have a partner and I was over generalising

Nor have I ever had to complain about my partner when I did have one

And I of course would discuss it with my partner \o/

@BarryCarlyon So assuming you had a partner at some point, why did it end, if there was nothing wrong?

I don't want to discuss it thanks

@BarryCarlyon Agreed. I'm sorry.

10:45 AM

S'all good

11:07 AM

pssht trust @kalina to turn the DMZ into a huggy feely place! Where's @Simon or @LucasKauffman to shout something inappropriate and @TerryChia to star it

then @AviD can pop in and take it too far, then delete his post

which is fine 'cause I can still read those

@RоryMcCune Reporting for duty. :)

@TerryChia now we just need the inappropriate comment crew and we're in business!

11:24 AM

@RоryMcCune boobies.

@LucasKauffman ta :)

@LucasKauffman BTW have you seen episodes 7-9 of llamas with hats?

@RоryMcCune not yet

@TerryChia you're not doing your job. DISAPOINTED.

@LucasKauffman they manage to be even weirder than the early ones!

\o/

@LucasKauffman Spelling is difficult for a llama I see.

s/DISAPOINT/DISSAPOINT/

11:35 AM

@RоryMcCune I'm sorry :(

@kalina s'ok you can't really help it, you're a girl :op

goes with the territory

that's sexist

you ageist old man

@kalina how am I ageist?

just 'cause I don't get you young people and your hippity hoppity music

I don't hippity hoppity

still, at least it's better than being called a trucker from des moines

@kalina I was thinking of this Stephen fry quote

^NSFW language

11:39 AM

I don't watch TV, I miss out on so much popular "culture"

@kalina TBH I don't really either, catch stuff on youtube or download some series

heck I don't even own a dedicated TV just watch stuff online

that's a time thing though

I don't have much of that either

I keep buying more monitors with the intention of multitasking

but it just doesn't happen

@kalina yeah I was up to 3 at one point but you just end up losing track of stuff (or i did anyway)

@RоryMcCune Feel free to chuck a few my way. ;)

face palm

11:41 AM

@TerryChia I fear the shipping cost to singapore would outweigh their value...

@RоryMcCune @kalina can help smuggle it over in her private jet.

@TerryChia well once she makes her millions of the dotto song that'll be the first purchase I'm sure

@RоryMcCune I'm still convinced she's Taylor Swift. ;)

I'm flattered and insulted simultaneously

@RоryMcCune I'm at 3, well...

I bought this trio of nice dell ultrasharp monitors with tiny bezels and a proper stand

and then I plugged in two of my old monitors in addition to those three

although one of those isn't plugged into this pc

so I guess I have 5 on the desk but 4 of them are plugged in

but I have found that after 3, keeping track of stuff is hard

since it stops being in your field of view

@kalina one prob. I ran into was most Gcards can only drive two monitors even if they have more outputs than that...

11:47 AM

@RоryMcCune AMD Eyefinity. ;)

not a case with newer cards

any "gaming" card from the last 5 years definitely supports 3+

@TerryChia yeah I've look at that but at the time my card didn't support it...

@kalina on DVI?

I know with display port it's all easier

@RоryMcCune 2 DVI + 1 HDMI normally.

nvidia surround is the nvidia version

@RоryMcCune well, DVI is a big plug, physical space limitations etc

I have 3 minidp, a hdmi and a dvi-d on the back of mine

but the 27"s I've got just do DVI-D and HDMI

11:48 AM

@RоryMcCune Adapters.

@TerryChia surprisingly expensive

for 3 the easy option for me was 2 cards

which worked fine

but all starts to add up after a while

@RоryMcCune You are talking 6 monitors. Adapters don't cost much compared to that. ;)

@TerryChia well as I say I've only ever gone to 3

@TerryChia does that still work when in crossfire, I've been thinking of getting a 3rd screen

it's @kalina whos the monitor overlord(ess)

11:49 AM

@LucasKauffman Dunno.

@TerryChia 3x dell 24 inch monitors was ~700€, graphics card was 500€

@kalina Ahh 24". I'd have thought you would go for the 27" ones.

You know... you and your size obsession.

I thought about it, but I didn't really see the point

I have all on reading 8pt text at this distance, I don't need it to be smaller

and I'm not going to get high res panels and then increase the dpi

anyway I'm aff tech purchases this year, unless something breaks. On paying off mortgage + building home office block

because pointless

this year, when I actually make enough money to offset what I've already spent this year, I need to finish treating this room

11:51 AM

@kalina what like treating it to a movie and meal out?

no treating like ripping all the walls out, fitting Ethernet sockets etc, relocating power and lights, deadening in the walls, rebuild the walls, and then acoustic treatment

@kalina That sounds more like abuse.

no, abuse is having a bright light directly in my sightline when I look over my monitors

having ethernet cable running out the room down the stairs and into the router

having extension leads plugged into extension leads plugged into extension leads

what's the point of buying a house if you don't optimize it for your lifestyle

@TerryChia it's not just the size that matters, it's the pixels!

@TerryChia I've always made it clear that the "size obsession" is just a joke, and that there is such a thing as "too big"

11:57 AM

@kalina I have the same planned over here, the Ethernet sockets and new rewiring of power and everything anyway.

every room should have ethernet ports

this is the 21st century

except the washroom

and the utility room, although I suspect I'll be missing out on the interwebnet of stuff edition laundry machines and fridges

but definitely one directly behind where I'm putting the TV that I'll never use

just because society says I need a comfortable room for people to chill out in when they visit

12:12 PM

Ethernet ports? Ummm wireless and Internet of Things is where its at.

Journeyman Geek

._.

eww wireless

52 secs ago, by kalina

eww wireless

@kalina Wireless + IPv6 = IoT

IoT = SkyNet = DOOM

Journeyman Geek

heh

I have something worse than wireless.

Homeplug!

12:27 PM

@JourneymanGeek Yikes. Run while you still can!

Journeyman Geek

@Arperum: wifi isn't that reliable here. I have it dialed in to roughly fast ethernet speeds to my room.

@JourneymanGeek Can't you just run an ethernet cable to your room?

Journeyman Geek

Nope? ;p

I wish I could!

Why can't you?

I currently have an ethernet cable randomly laying through a couple rooms, the powercords are connected to some other room. So cables through half the house. Available for falling over and all.

Journeyman Geek

12:32 PM

My parents would disapprove.

When I get a place of my own, I'd likely want/need a 24 port switch, and patch to all the rooms ;p

@JourneymanGeek Well yeah we'd all love that.

Journeyman Geek

(on the bright side, we don't have gigabit internet, only 20/20 for overseas sites, and 100/100 for local ones so...)

@JourneymanGeek this

it will be the same room that has the machine storing all of my data in it

and maybe aircon

haven't decided on that yet, the room I want to use makes it awkward

it will be a shoes/server room

it's a unique combination

@JourneymanGeek I use that as well. :(

Wireless is just completely crappy here.

Holy shit, this accident just happened outside my work...

12:40 PM

Wireless is just completely crappy

An SUV just got cut in half by a dump truck

^ ftfy

@raz well, the SUV must have been doing something silly

it's called natural selection

oh, wait, I mean

I hope nobody is hurt!

@kalina I saw just this message and was like "what the fuck happened to @kalina?

@RоryMcCune haha, The Inappropriate Comment Crew!

Sounds like a great name for a new age band.

@kalina one reason. They are trying to invoke sympathy, thus leading to sympathy sex.

Journeyman Geek

@AviD: so they put the traction in attraction?

12:49 PM

dammit @RоryMcCune did I just take it too far?

@Arperum hey, just because I'm made of fire on the outside doesn't mean I'm not all soft and squishy and emotional on the inside

@AviD fortunately, I am immune

@kalina Not saying that, but I expected at the very least some sarcastic comment too.(which I got after I opened the tab)

it invokes agitation, annoyance, general boredom

@kalina sure, but that doesnt mean they're not going to try.

even in the most extreme cases where sympathy is invoked, I'm protected because their situation couldn't be that extreme if they're interested in sex, and it causes a conflict

12:52 PM

@kalina " if they're interested in..." WAT, guys are always interested

actually, suddenly some things just made sense to me

they could be on their deathbed, and be interested

sometimes when something just clicks and you're all like, I feel so used

that scene at the end of braveheart, where William Wallace is having his intestines pulled out, and he screams "FREEEEEDOMMM!!" Yeah, Freedom is the name of a stripper.

@AviD this is a more cynical view than even I hold

12:54 PM

hehe

even though you're just trying to be funny

I'm not saying all guys are bad, or that they will all take advantage of a sordid opportunity. But it is always in mind.

I'm saying most guys are bad, that most will try and take advantage of you and that it's a process that's always running, just in a wait state

@kalina and you say that I am the cynical one.

^^

12:56 PM

it's probably a side effect of you being able to just whip it out and go

Jealousy of the urinal. Gets us every time.

that's not what I meant.

@raz Women, eh? Can't live with 'em, they can't pee standing up.

Okay technically they CAN, but you know.

I was going to say

technically...

@AviD ahahahaha

12:58 PM

this room needs more cuddles, hugs, the color purple, and kindness

It's not often you hear a Major League 2 reference.

@raz oh jeez, is that where I got it from?

ya hear something, you pick it up.

@AviD lol!

Yes, yes it is

dont always remember the source

Hey I love Major League.

12:59 PM

fantastic movie.

you love aids as well

#2, not so much.
