Business Hosting Online Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi all, I have bought a PHP from HotScripts, but since purchase I am receiving a lot of spam and unsolicated emails. A quick check on google, revealed a few complaints saying that the scripts uses "Link Backs / Call Backs" How can I check for this?, is there software around to check this, or is it another script. Any help is appreciated., 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business Hosting Online Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Availability Calendar, it was only a few dollars, but since installing it, maybe coincidence, I have had a huge increase in bandwidth traffic and my spam filters are going into over drive. So unsure, but the code is protected by ioncube so unsure if theres any link backs or callbacks etc. Don't get me wrong I know authors needs to protect there coding and I fully trust that, but just too much of a coincidence here I thinks, in the mean time I have removed the script to see if things calm down 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business Hosting Online Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Can you help with checking for link backs etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgrayban Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 If the script is encoded there isn't much you can do legally other then ask for your money back or contact your bank and let them you what happened and that you want to dispute the charge. Illegally wise... get it decode. Otherwise you are stuck. And just for everyone else here that might read this.... never ever buy a php script from hotscript. I have caught them more then once trying to sneak in sniffing/callback code. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Business Hosting Online Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 I am unsure if there is any callbacks, but would like to know is there anyway I can check, can I monitor what the script does, and if any outside communications are going on. If I can prove that there are somethings going on in the background, then I will challenge them and see if I can get my money back. Don't really want to go down the decding route if I can avoid it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzlyware Josh Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I wouldn't know how, but you could put the script on a dedicated machine & monitor the apache log & firewall logs...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgrayban Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 In linux you can use tcpdump and grep for http calls or use the raw dump it can generate for you. read "man tcpdump" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
