Hi folks,

I have a site built in classic asp that pulls from a SQL Server 2000 db and sometime in the last week it was hacked by the notorious turkish hackers. I restored the db, luckily, I had just backed it up.

The hosting company said that it was most likely the ' or 'x'='x hack and said that it was entirely up to me to fix the problem. I have no ideas and never heard of such a thing. Any ideas on how to fix it so it won't happen again? I have a admin/log in section of the site that they apparently used.

BTW, it is very hard to search for this on Google as the apostrophes throw it all off.

Thanks in advance.

Takes this as a lesson TO NEVER USE CONCATENATED string defined by user!
Always, always use parameters!

You were attacked with simplest SQL injection.

I am not sure what the cause was though. And they did not even know this happened. The re-direction got corrected after a few minutes.

Well it turns out it wasn't this at all. The person that did the coding in the first place put a block on this event.

I have looked at all of the ISPs that have logged on to the site and there are only 2 people that have logged in, myself and the owner of the site.

I am narrowing down how they could of done it. I understand that on shared hosting plans, there may be some sort of script to gain access to SQL Servers....but I am still researching that. Any help from you all would be helpful!

Thanks folks!

That is funny on _so_ many levels.
