Security risk with phpBB boards
Following personal experience of such an attack, I thought I’d quickly mention this here so that, hopefully, I can prevent anyone else from undergoing the same fate!
As you can read here and here, there’s currently a rampant worm that’s seeking and exploiting older versions of phpBB bulletin boards. Once its attacked, your will usually see the following message on all pages with .html and .php extensions:
This site is defaced!!!
NeverEverNoSanity WebWorm generation [xx].
(Please note that the generation number can vary.)
At the moment it’s still not clear whether or not this is a security problem with the board itself or if it’s with PHP version 4.3.9, but advice at the moment is to ensure that your board is running on the latest version 2.0.11 of PHPBB in order to try and minimise attack. I’d also suggest backing up your board and site just in case.
I would imagine that there are quite a number of people who read this who may use this BB, so I hope that someone finds this useful!

Terms of Usage change – please read!
Please note that the terms of usage for all Codegrrl scripts and tutorials have been updated.
With immediate effect, in no way are you permitted to install any versions – modified or not – of the Codegrrl scripts for any charge without prior written permission of the script author.
Codegrrl is a linkware site. All scripts here are available for download for free, were written by their authors for free, distributed without charge and free support is available for all of them at the forums. All we ask for is a link back to this site to say thank you. As offering optional paid installations is the only way most of our script authors get anything back for their scripts, when other people charge for installations they are taking work away from the scripts’ authors – something we will now no longer permit without the script author’s express permission. Remember that by hiring the author for the paid installation you are helping to keep CodeGrrl alive and encouraging them to keep working on the scripts and this site!
If you notice anyone offering the scripts for paid installation and you suspect that they do not have our permission for this, please let us know!
Thanks in advance for your co-operation with this.

This tutorial will show you how to add different layouts – called skins – to your site by using cookies. To do this properly, you’ll need a basic understanding of PHP includes and header/footer files.
