How to Find Malware in Your Website

loading...

No website owner wants his website to be hacked. If you build your site with WordPress, there are some precautions to tighten security. When you're thinking of being hacked, I'll give you some options to scan

.

First of all, I give some ways how hackers want access to your website, it's now a WordPress or no WP website, they want to access and because of this:

• Pharma Hacks - Insert Spam into your database or posts (or pages) on your website.
• Backdoors - Access your Dashboard or Admin panel within your website so that they can misuse business on their website at their desired time.
• Drive-by Downloads - When the hacker is disguised and through a script that has been granted a program or download access to the victim's PC.
• File and Database Injections - Via added code in database or file malware.
• Malicious Redirects - Redirect certain links, or redirect to an infected website.
• Phishing - Search for passwords and usernames via bots or scripts.

After a hack, the website usually becomes  "defaced" at least, or changed to another page to inform everyone about the hack. These days, this is less because they want to make use of your website for a longer time.

 Some tools

Sucuri SiteCheck  (link)

One of the larger names in web security is ' Sucuri ', known for its good approach and easy site check capability. This site checks scan is completely free. Please note that this does not guarantee 100% of your website is maliciously infected. But this also does more, it also depends on whether your domain name is nowhere to be blacklisted. Blacklisting of domain names occurs frequently and quickly when, for example, Search engines find out that malicious code is on your website.

Wordfence  (link)

Wordfence is a renowned plugin for WordPress and is one of the larger names in the Security plugins branch. In addition to actively monitoring your site and offering additional security options, you can also manually start a scan, this plugin comes in a free and premium edition.

Mxtoolbox  (link)

This website is a well-known toolbox under system administrator, but can also serve as a domain health check on your domain name. You immediately know if your mail server has been abused or your domain name has been blacklisted. Other tests such as web server or DNS related issues are also tested.

SSL Labs (link)

A very comprehensive test on SSL Certificates is available at Qualys SSL Labs, especially if you want to check your certificate and implementation.

Quttera (link) 

This, like Sucuri, does a thorough scan on your website and also shows what file is suspicious. A handy tool.

Conclusion

Once you've been hacked or even hacked, these websites/services are definitely worth it. It's a good starting point to know which files or ways they can access. If you still have tools that I did not mention, feel free to respond to the comments.
