My website server has been hit by unauthorized access and I need a security specialist to step in fast. I can already see unfamiliar files, suspicious redirects, and logins from IPs that are clearly not mine. I want the root cause located, every back-door removed, and the whole stack locked down before any more damage is done. The environment is a standard LAMP VPS; I will hand over full SSH access, recent log files, and an up-to-date snapshot so you can work safely. Your job is to run a forensic sweep with the tools you trust most—whether that’s chkrootkit, rkhunter, Wireshark, Nmap, or a custom script—document each finding, clean the infection, patch the vulnerability, and then harden the server to industry best practices. Deliverables • A concise incident report detailing point of entry, malicious artifacts found, and actions taken • A clean, operational website with verified integrity checks in place • A step-by-step list of patches, config changes, and future hardening recommendations I can follow to stay secure If you’ve handled breach response on production servers before and can start right away, I’m ready to give you the keys.

I can step in immediately and handle this as a full incident response and recovery. I’ve cleaned and secured compromised LAMP servers before—identifying entry points, removing backdoors, and restoring systems without breaking production. I’ll perform a deep forensic sweep (logs, processes, cron jobs, web files), isolate and remove malicious code, and trace the root cause (plugin vuln, weak creds, misconfig, etc.). Then I’ll harden the server—SSH lockdown, firewall rules, file permissions, patching, and integrity monitoring—to prevent reinfection. You’ll receive a clean, verified site, a clear incident report (what happened, how it was fixed), and a practical hardening checklist for ongoing security. Available to start right now and secure your server end-to-end.
