Hi freelancers,
I'm looking for somebody with Joomla web shop experience. A client has asked me to repair their hacked Joomla 1.5 website. The URL is [login to view URL]
I have no experience with Joomla myself, so I need somebody that has this expertise. This also means that I have not built the website and that I do not know the architecture, e.g. used plugins and customization of the website. This is why we need a Joomla expert.
Yesterday I have executed some simple steps to try and undo the hack
The steps that I executed:
- backed up all files except for the media directory
- fix file and folder permissions (did a recursive for all files and folders to 755, then on some important php files 644)
- change control panel password (this login works fine)
- change Joomla admin password through phpMyAdmin (used MD5 hash off course, but the login still does not work)
- replace [login to view URL] by a fresh copy of Joomla 1.5.26
- fixed /components/com_user/models/[login to view URL] by adding the following code after global $mainframe; on line 113 of [login to view URL]
if(strlen($token) != 32) {
$this->setError(JText::_('INVALID_TOKEN'));
return false;
}
## Assignment ##
