Linux and shell commandsBased on my experience, hackers will usually replace / add one or more file to your website directories. Shell commands can be used to conveniently remove all the unwanted files from multiple directories. find $HOME/public_html -name hackersfile.* | xargs rm -f Replace hackersfile.* with the name of files added by hacker. They will add their version of both index.php and index.html. Most Cpanel webhosting allows SSH access. More information on Linux/Shell commands/ syntax to be used available at

Paypal , Indian regulations and restrictions, April 2010Many Indian personal and premier Paypal account holders appear to have received the following email: Not all Indian Paypal account holders have received this mail . Initially many thought it was a phishing email, but later Paypal has confirmed that the email is genuine. Also Gmail seems to have flagged the email as spam. They have also not specified a date from which these rules / restrictions will come into effect. The biggest restriction is: The main disadvantage of this rule is that a Paypal account holder will lose money in transaction fees – when you withdraw to your Indian bank account in Indian Rupees, you lose 2.5-3% in currency conversion fees and when you again pay through credit card, the credit card company will charge up to 5% as currency conversion fees for converting the Indian Rupees back to US Dollars. Also many people in India avoid getting a credit card, since many Indian credit card issuers are notorious for their poor service, inaccurate billing and hiring the services of questionable collection agents. Paypal checks are sent by ordinary post and take up to month to delivered. The status of bank withdrawals of many Indian account holders on or after 7 April 2010 is shown as pending. Of all the online payment processors, Paypal seems to most regulated in India because it has the largest number of users in India and uses NEFT. Update 14 April, 2010 : There seems to be a problem with Paypal withdrawals to bank accounts in India on 7 , 8, 9 April, 2010 and their status is still shown as pending. Withdrawals on 10 April 2010 have been credited to the bank account . Some users have requested cancellation of the pending withdrawal, but they may incur a foreign currency losss and it is not clear whether the forex loss will be credited back to the account

Torrents and free downloadsAs some one who does not use the internet for downloading movies and songs, bit torrent and desi torrent were a great mystery to me . This article on Torrents and Free Downloads explains how it works and why it is so popular. It also shows that selling any digital product online to consumers will be difficult in India, it will be shared for free online. Rajshri Films web venture is given extensive coverage in the online blogs, but the numbers paint a different picture. There are many smaller companies which have better revenues. If you are not compensated fairly for your efforts, you are likely to look out for other options.
