How many people complaint? If the image has not changed on your server and the code on the web page is still the same than I would wait for it to happen again t someone else. You are trying to troubleshoot a maybe. As a precaution go through your web logs and all the error logs see if you fin something unusual regarding that image or a redirect. -Sanjay -----Original Message----- From: Frank Cheong [mailto:chocobofrank () hotmail com] Sent: Sunday, November 24, 2002 11:37 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Part of the web page being MODIFIED ! I got one serious question that is I received complains regarding one of the image on my web site has been modified by a PORN picture ! While the image have resumed normal during the second visit. After receiving the complains, I have of course double checked the GIF image's filesize and date timestamp found that it is completely normal. Therefore, the image haven't been modified. So I do want to know what is the possibilities in doing this ? (Like HTTP session hijack, proxy poisoning, someone doing man in the middle etc) any other ways to do that ? As these activities mostly happens outside my server boundry, I assume I can't do anything with it, how about any outside parties ? As I know going for SSL maybe one of the alternative to stop this but this will add on extra processing on my website and it will make it slow. So I don't want to go for it, any other way to secure against this ?
