cPanel Security Scan

Primary LanguageYARAOtherNOASSERTION

CSI (cPanel Security Investigator)

A script that provides a variety of functions to assist with the investigation of both root- and user-level compromises. By default, Its purpose is to scan for rootkits or root-level compromises. But it can also perform a user level scan.

Originally, this script installed some 3rd party tools such as rkhunter and chkrootkit. But those programs have not been updated in a number of years and seem to have been abandoned. This script has been completedly overhauled since then and they have since been removed.

DISCLAIMER! cPanel's Technical Support does not provide

security consultation services. The only support services we

can provide at this time is to perform a minimal analysis of the

possible security breach solely for the purpose of determining if

cPanel's software was involved or used in the security breach.

########################################################################

As with any anti-malware scanning system false positives may occur

If anything suspicious is found, it should be investigated by a

professional security consultant. There are never any guarantees
