- Gave each flag option a short or long option; like i:ignore or d:directory or k:hide-ok
- Added a verbose option that instructs the scan to scan a file for ALL matches and not just stop at the first one.
- Restructured the output code to allow for the verbose flag, mainly a new function printPath and where the md5 hash is computed
- Modified the output to be cleaner, checksum is printed first as it is fix-width and to make it easier to paste into the whitelist file.
- Modified the output to be 'bash safe', ie when I accidentally paste my scan results into my terminal, the '#' should make sure everything is treated as a comment. This is in contrast to possibly attempting to execute absolute paths to potentially malicious PHP scripts and the usage of the '>' which tells the shell to write to a file. Also enclosed each path in {} for similar purposes.
- Printing the matched string/pattern in $color... might change later depending on preference.
PHP malware scanner
Traversing directories for files with php extensions and testing files against text or regexp rules, the rules based on self gathered samples and publicly vailable malwares/webshells. The goal is to find infected files and fight against kiddies, because to easy to bypass rules.
How to use?
$ php ./scan.php -h
Usage scan.php -d <directory> [-i=<directory|file>] [-e=.php] [--hide-ok] [--hide-whitelist]
-d Directory for searching
-e=.php Extension
-i=<directory|file> Directory of file to igonre
--hide-ok Hide OK aka not infected messages
--hide-whitelist Hide whitelisted messages
--extra-check Adds GoogleBot and htaccess to Scan List
--follow-symlink Follow symlinked directories
Ignore argument could be used multiple times and accept glob style matching ex.: "cache*", "??-cache.php" or "/cache" etc.
Patterns
There are two different pattern source, each line in these files is a patter so patterns_raw.txt lines searched as-is, patterns_re.txt used with preg_match function.
Whitelisting
See whitelist.txt file for a predefined MD5 hash list. Only the first 32 characters are used, rest of the line ignored so feel free to leave a comment.
