 |
|
Recently (I assume, haven't checked in a while) a file appeared called php.CORE. It's a pretty big file (like 80mb) and I have no idea what it is/how it got there? Anyone know if it's malicious or anything?
Thanks. |

I couldn't find any specific information. But if you are not running any form of scripts that shouldn't create that file, and your host didn't, I think I'd remove it.
Have you tried downloading it and opening it in notepad to see what form of content it has?

I doubt Notepad could open an 80mb file.

I removed it, as far as reading it, I opened it in a text editor and this is the only intelligible part
| Code: |
-f <file> Parse <file>. Implies `-q'
-h This help
-i PHP information
-l Syntax check only (lint)
-m Show compiled in modules
-q Quiet-mode. Suppress HTTP Header output.
-s Display colour syntax highlighted source.
-v Version number
-w Display source with stripped comments and whitespace.
-z <file> Load Zend extension <file>.

The rest is just little boxes. Deleting it didn't seem to affect anything negatively that I can tell. I'm just not sure why it was there in the first place. |
