Do not visit website as it may have content of a nature, that you might not feel comfortable with (gay horror).

Briefly this site was infested with SE visitors redirect to a pharma-spam site (now cleansed - that was two days ago
main domain site was infested, and is now directing to a cleansed www address).

Info proliferation: The address you entered is unnecessarily exposing the following response headers which divulge its choice of web platform:

Server: Apache/2.4.23
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.37
Configuring the application to not return unnecessary headers keeps this information silent and makes it significantly more difficult to identify the underlying frameworks.

Found some ‘yii javascript module’ errors in code from this uri: http://www.axiscorner.com/cdn/js/core.js?v=1459005112
Went over the script there with a javascript unpacker…and stumbled upon these code hick-ups/errors…

found JavaScript error: line:4: SyntaxError: missing } in compound statement: error: line:4: move(); } }) }); } return pub; })(jQuery); jQuery(document).ready(function () { yii.initModule(yii); }); error: line:4: ...^
Change single line (//) to multi-line comments(/** **/) and several close braces: } missing - html backend content causing error. info credits: Stackoverflow's MarcoK.

Insecure WordPress CMS: WordPress Version

WordPress Plugins
The following plugins were detected by reading the HTML source of the WordPress sites front page.

contact-form-7 3.4.1 latest release (4.6) Update required

Warning User Enumeration is possible
The first two user ID’s were tested to determine if user enumeration is possible.

ID User Login
1 admin admin
2 None
It is recommended to rename the admin user account to reduce the chance of brute force attacks occurring. As this will reduce the chance of automated password attackers gaining access. However it is important to understand that if the author archives are enabled it is usually possible to enumerate all users within a WordPress installation.

Godaddy again:
http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=1481901911407

Killmalware reports search engine redirects.However,this site has a suspicious plugin:
http://zulu.zscaler.com/seen/6bc86ff0162785f1c6b06e006f6d4363-1481901905

ASN 26496 (GoDaddy) has risk 50.0

Scan of the html data:

Not advisable to visit the site without noscript.There might be other redirect plugins.

Thanks,
TI.

Did some detective work on the plugin,cross site scripting scanner reports:

The page you are trying to analyse is trying to redirect you to the following address:

hxtp://top-24h-can-store.com/redirect.php?z=viagra

The plugin reported by zscalar is the redirector::

hxtp://www.earthscape.co/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.10.2

Hi TI199,

Q.E.D., quod erat demonstrandum (Q.E.D.), what was to be demonstrated,
SE redirect OK, or as we detected rather not OK, but then assisted by workings of ajax.googleapis.com
(50% insecure tracking detected, and I wonder as in howfar this is un- or protected by same-origin?).

Hi TI199,

Even in the everyday digital world we see we are gliding more and more into the dark side of Kali demon, my good friend.
All that we see is not what it seems and it is certainly so, when analyzing code. :-[

I would agree with you.There is more than meets the eye.Thanks for the analysis.Surely,that plugin is bad.But I hope we can beat them together.Side by side!! :slight_smile: 8)
