      Does anybody have any experience with software for identifying this sort of thing?

      I was informed by a team we are working with that our website may have been compromised and I wanted to know what programs people have used to identify cloaking attempts and/or bad code.

      Thanks everybody!

        If you are thinking your site has been compromised what I always use to check a site is https://sucuri.net/  I would advise you to change all logins and passwords as well as update any cms you are using to the latest stable version as well.

          Thanks!

          I actually came across sucuri.net the other day in my own search. I wasn't sure what people's opinions were.

          According to the team we are working with the malicious files are Index.php and Hello.php

          Thanks again! I'm looking into it now!

            Great, good luck with things. You might be able to use the time stamps on the files in conjunction with the server logs to determine when the modifications were made and how they were made.
