CXS and exploit scanners - how malicious files are detected

An exploit scanner should detect a suspicious file before it causes damage or spreads across the account.

When this matters

An attack often uses an upload form, vulnerable plugin, old FTP password or a script left after migration.

How exploit scanners work on hosting: signatures, heuristics, new files, upload, WordPress and support response.

Practical checklist

  • remove unused scripts and old copies
  • watch file permissions
  • analyze new PHP files in upload folders
  • after infection, change passwords and update applications

How Hostilla.pl helps

Hostilla.pl uses CXS and custom malware signatures, updated several times a day, to react faster to new attack patterns.

What to prepare before contacting support

If you need support, include the domain, account name, time of the problem, exact error message, recent changes and one example URL or mailbox. This lets support check DNS, SSL, mail logs, PHP, database, backups and application configuration faster.
