A small assistant to help resolving issues or finding compromised code in an Evolution-CMS installation for the seldom case, it has been "hacked".

• Search DB (Plugins, Snippets etc) and Files for any string (RegEx supported)
• Files can be filtered by touch-date (useful, but not relyable!)
• Show summary all found strings with highlighting
• Show a list of plugins assigned to critical plugin-events
• Same check and report of all files that are set in MODX Config under "Check Files on Login" (index.php, .htaccess etc.)
• v0.2: Check system-settings "paths"
• v0.2: Add customizable index.html to all directories (add, overwrite or delete all index.html < x bytes)
• v0.2: Option to pre-select most common RegEx-strings (list will be extended by experience)
• v0.2: Redesigned dashboard and search-module
• v0.3: "Integrity Check" - Check for any files that might have been changed since creating of an Integrity-Image
• v0.3: "Adminer" - now included directly in EvoCheck

By uploading "EvoCheck" only when needed, it is guaranteed EvoCheck has not been compromised and is fully working. Evocheck can be used as a module, or in standalone-mode.

• install via Extras-module

or

• Download package https://github.com/extras-evolution/evocheck
• Unzip package and upload to your MODX-root directory
• use standalone-mode or create new module with the code of install/assets/modules/evocheck.tpl and reload manager

To run EvoCheck standalone, open http(s)://domain.xyz/evocheck-standalone.php and login with your DB-user and DB-password.

Experienced users will not need this manual. It is just a simple try of explanation to none-experienced users, to enable them start investigating on their own and get more help at https://github.com/modxcms/evolution .

• Log into manager and run module "EvoCheck" or open http(s)://domain.xyz/evocheck-standalone.php and login with your database-details
• search database & files and check for suspicious code, that in most cases is made not readable for humans by intention, like
  • eval(base64_decode("aWYgKCFkZWZpbmVkKCdBTFJFQURZX1JVTl8xYmMyOWIzN.....
  • $nds3 = $ymdq98[7].$ymdq98[1].$ymdq98[8].$ymdq98[6]
  • to be continued..
• Not every piece of code looking suspicious is part of a hack, therefore before altering any files or DB-tables, make a backup first!
• The "Changed-after"-date is not relyable! File-dates can be easily modified on many servers using PHPs touch()-function
• Click "Delete me now" when you finished work, or delete EvoCheck manually if "Delete me now" throws an error.

• improve/refactor renderSummary() / highlighting ?
• check UTF-8 support for highlighting etc
• add searching "TemplateVars" as they also support eval() ?

• v0.3 Added "Integrity Check" and "Adminer"
• v0.2 module and standalone-version, added "index.html"-feature
• v0.1 initial release (standalone only)
