[Dorset] HTML/PHP script

2010-03-31 Thread David Stanton
 
 The site is up and running. I've copied the html code using ctrl-U
 facility on Firefox. There doesn't seem to be anything else untoward on
 it and no other scripts - that is except for spelling and other sloppy
 mistakes, besides a mail to link pointing at a non-existant mailbox!
 
 What they have to do is obtain control and ownership of the domain or
 abandon it hope it won't do too much harm and set up another one.

 Is it a static website or is there php code running in the background? If  
 there is dynamic code running in the background you will NOT capture this  
  from firefox.

 If they have paid for the domain then they should request full control of  
 the domain, specifically the login to the registrar.
 
 They will then need new hosting and point the DNS entry to this new server.
 
Looking at the code for all 5 pages of the site:

- the word script appears only on the line I quoted with the link to
the external site:

( script src=http:  //maverick £££ monkey.com/widgets/.htaccess.php
/script

however this line appears on each page

- the suffix .php appears only on that line and in connection with an
enquiry form:-

 form action=form-processor.php method=post
   table
   trtd width=875
  
 pYour Name:br
   input type=text size=20 name=name
   /p
etc

Nor could I see anything unusual in the .css page they are using.

How could one tell if there is php code running in the background?

Thanks again!

David

Re: [Dorset] HTML/PHP script

2010-03-31 Thread Robert Bronsdon
If page changes when viewed - are there differences if you 'log in' then  
it must be running some background code.

There will be some code running behind that form - though it would be a  
quick job to re-create it so I wouldn't worry too much.

Just to clarify - the php code runs on the server and when you make a  
'request' for a page the server will execute the code and will send to you  
the result of that code.

They can try all they like; all the evidence shows that they are flogging a 
dead horse:

french-piracy-study.ars

Every time the media industry puts in place new measures to counteract the 
pirates, the pirates route round it.  Not only that, they lose credibility and 
most of all, respect.  As a result, even law-abiding citizens begin to believe 
that its OK to rip off copyrighted material, simply because they think the 
bigger crooks are the media industry.

 Just because you're a conspiracy theorist doesn't mean they are not
 conspiring...

Yes.  But who are they conspiring against?  Another study that was quoted in 
the BBC programme on the bill said that people who illegally download buy more 
music legally than those who don't.  They are biting off their nose to spite 
their face.
