Hi everyone,

My host locked down my server because it was involved in a DDOS attack, that is, my server was attacking other sites

Im not sure if its a Joomla thing or something else, but considering that my dedicated server only had two Joomla sites, Im inclined to this its coming from here.

Any idea on how I can find/disable this script? Any particular log files I should be looking at? Should I disable all modules/plugins?

Im using Joomla 1.5.20 - Yes I know its old - and we were in the process of migrating to 2.5 this month.

You may follow step by step.

1. Scan your site for malware - sucuri.net

2. Scan with joomscan to find vulnerabilities - http://sourceforge.net/projects/joomscan/

If you have recently installed any plugin/module - you may disable that and see if that causing the problem
