Mysterious dbboon folder with proxy.php file on my godaddy account
- by Paul
When doing some web maintenance today, I noticed a strange new folder on my GoDaddy hosting account at the root level named "dbboon", with a single file inside, called proxy.php. It's code is listed below, and seems to be some sort of proxy function.
I was kind of troubled because I didn't put it there. I googled all this to learn more, but didn't find anything, except for the proxy file happened to be also stored at pastebin.com: http://pastebin.com/PQsSPbCr
I called GoDaddy and they confirmed that it belonged to them, said it was put there by their advanced hosting group for testing purposes but didn't have any more information.
I thought this was all really weird: why would they put something in my folder without giving me a heads-up, and why would they need to do something like this?
anybody know anything about this?
