Custom PHP rescue
Custom PHP application hacked? No plugin scanner can help you. Engineers can.
When a bespoke application is compromised, every cleanup product on the market is useless — they only know WordPress signatures. Custom-code incidents need what they've always needed: an experienced engineer reading your code, your logs and your attacker's tracks. That's precisely what we are.
The signs we see on hacked Custom PHP sites
- Web shells: PHP files accepting commands via POST parameters
- New routes or endpoints you didn't write
- Database contents modified or exfiltrated
- Outbound traffic to unknown hosts from your server
- Cron entries and systemd units that don't belong
How they usually get in
Classic web vulnerabilities dominate: file-upload handling, SQL injection, deserialisation, exposed environment files and forgotten debug endpoints — plus compromised SSH and deploy credentials. We trace the actual requests in your logs to the actual code path, and patch it.
Do these four things right now (free)
- Snapshot the server (disk image or full copy) before touching anything
- Rotate SSH keys, deploy tokens, database and API credentials
- Freeze deploys so you know every change on disk is accounted for
- Export and preserve access + application logs now, before rotation
Then, if you want it handled
Senior engineer response < 1 hour, verified clean < 24 hours, evidence-grade proof pack. Fixed at $2,950 USD — full pricing.
Custom PHP rescue questions
Our developer left years ago and nobody knows the codebase. Can you still fix it?
Yes — that's a normal Tuesday for us. Twenty-five years of PHP means we can read undocumented legacy code, find the compromise, and document what we did so the next developer isn't lost.
Do you handle Laravel, Symfony and framework apps?
Yes — modern framework apps, legacy procedural PHP, and everything between.
