Hello,

Its funny you mentioned this because I kinda assumed it might behave that way.

I've seen shellcode in the past that did things you didn't know about...

Great link, thanks!

I decided to see what was encoded in the $c1, $c2 variables,
which were base64 encoded strings. This is what they held:

<script language="javascript">hotlog_js="1.0";hotlog_r=""+Math.random()+"&s=81606&im=1&r="+escape(document.referrer)+"&pg="+escape(window.location.href);document.cookie="hotlog=1; path=/"; hotlog_r+="&c="+(document.cookie?"Y":"N");</script><script language="javascript1.1">hotlog_js="1.1";hotlog_r+="&j="+(navigator.javaEnabled()?"Y":"N")</script><script language="javascript1.2">hotlog_js="1.2";hotlog_r+="&wh="+screen.width+'x'+screen.height+"&px="+(((navigator.appName.substring(0,3)=="Mic"))?screen.colorDepth:screen.pixelDepth)</script><script language="javascript1.3">hotlog_js="1.3"</script><script language="javascript">hotlog_r+="&js="+hotlog_js;document.write("<a href='http://click.hotlog.ru/?81606' target='_top'><img "+" src='http://hit4.hotlog.ru/cgi-bin/hotlog/count?"+hotlog_r+"&;' border=0 width=1 height=1 alt=1></a>")</script><noscript><a href=http://click.hotlog.ru/?81606 target=_top><imgsrc="http://hit4.hotlog.ru/cgi-bin/hotlog/count?s=81606&im=1"; border=0width="1" height="1" alt="HotLog"></a></noscript><Br><br><!--LiveInternet counter--><script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.write('<a href="http://www.liveinternet.ru/click"; '+
'target=_blank><img src="http://counter.yadro.ru/hit?t52.6;r'+
escape(document.referrer)+((typeof(screen)=='undefined')?'':
';s'+screen.width+'*'+screen.height+'*'+(screen.colorDepth?
screen.colorDepth:screen.pixelDepth))+';'+Math.random()+
'" alt="liveinternet.ru: ïîêàçàíî ÷èñëî ïðîñìîòðîâ è ïîñåòèòåëåé çà 24 ÷àñà" '+

Hello again,
I've always had an interest in security. Not too long ago a friend was looking into deploying joomla for a client. He's a pentester/researcher for a very well educated and influential firm = ] , so he had to make sure it was going to be secure. He started researching and found that many joomla installs had/have been comprimised
via XSS attacks.
Today, he posted the link of a site that had been owned by XSS and the crackers installed this
web based backdoor script.
I grabbed the script and included it here http://www.projectskyline.com/phplist/r57shell.txt to show PHP developers AGAIN how important security is and give us an inside look at
some of the tools our enemies are armed with.
 For those that deploy joomla, this is especially something to watch for.
For everyone else, just something to checkout.
 You'll notice this script enables:
 - Mail to be sent out (w/or w/out files attached)
- Commands to be run.
- Search for SUID, writable directories, files, tmp files., .(files) ...
- Outgoing connections to be established
- Some kind of IRC implementation
- SQL to be run
- Files can be downloaded and uploaded
- and much, much more.
 - Ben


Perhaps most interesting about that r57shell is that it quietly remotely logs its own use. So in addition to the use as a backdoor shell script, it becomes a beacon for compromised systems - the tool maker gets a notice of every IP compromised by the tool when used by others.

To quote full disclosure, "they [the script authors] can 0wn everything you 0wned...Trust no one... write your own tools."
