VirusTotal for self made releases is useless (Proof)

Nice post Wiz

Only an idiot would think just scanning a file on this board (or any) makes it 100% safe. There is always a % of worry when using anything someones shares on this board an I proved this with lc cms 3.4

I had a back door in this so I could make problems for people who used my cms without my permission (cracked). Looking back now was a silly idea as the "cracker" may have found this back door an used it on anyone running the cms.

Since then the back door was removed an I released the cms open for everyone to used an view the scripts to prove its clean.

 

Best ways to solve this is keep all ports closed accept what you need, try to keep what you can local an not remote an dont allow untrusted files access to the net.

Have a test server where you can test stuff before using on a live server.

Never trust anyone!!
