Hello,

CXS is using over 50% of my dedicated server's CPU. is there a setting to limit it's CPU or resource usage? If not, what third party solution do you recommend? I am happy for this scan to take a lot longer as long as the CPU usage does not go above 20%.
Thanks,

NOTE: Support for using suhosin is deprecated and will be removed in
the near future - use ModSecurity instead. If you are unable to use
ModSecurity, you will have to rely on either cxs Watch or manual scans

Does this only apply to scanning of PHP Upload scripts?

What I mean is: I use CXS Watch, and I also use Suhosin. Will CXS Watch stop working for PHP if I keep using Suhosin (in the...

New option added: --defapache . This is the default account
under which apache runs. This will be set to apache by default
except on cPanel servers where it is set to nobody by default

I have a cPanel server. So it is set to nobody by default.

Is there a more secure value rather than nobody or is that value required (and secure as-is)?

I don't fully understand what nobody means and any...

This morning in my logs I noticed the following messages being repeated over and over with random usernames. Any idea what causes this and is it something I should be concerned about?

I've removed cxs from my server as I'm going to install it on a new one I'm moving to.

Below seems to state that I have to retire the old server before I change to the new server IP. Is that correct? :)

If you are going to retire the server that you initially had cxs licensed for or you have been required to change the server's IP address, then the licensed IP address can be changed. There is...

Hi Everyone

Hello,

I am planning on purchasing the cxs scanner, because previously I was using apache / atomicorp modsec rules but as I shifted to litespeed the modsecurity rules are no longer working. Which is a shame as since using those none of the sites hosted on the server got hacked / defaced.

So now I need a solution and cxs seems somewhat of an answer but it also seems to be dependent on modsec...

Hi!

A CXS scan (via manual Generate Commands) does not find/alert

1. cxs.xtra stuff if it's not in a php file or maybe other script files.
If there is cxs.ztra stuff in a .html file it will not report it.
Even if it's included in a Javascript code.

2. CXS does not report/find a very bad javascript/malware in index.html while all other
free website scanners I tested found it.
This was the...

If you want to completely disable UI access, create the file /etc/cxs/cxs.disableui or click the Disable UI button below.

There isn't a Disable UI button below.

I noticed today on the top of my CXS it now says the following.

Running in Restricted Mode - remove /etc/cxs/cxs.restricted to enable full access to this User Interface
The nature of this User Interface allows direct and indirect access to the root shell on the server, therefore any user access to this interface could allow abritrary commands to be run as root and system files to be overwritten....

This may be a bug...
