If your server sends spam, mines crypto, shows strange redirects or your host suspended it, I find how the attacker got in, preserve evidence, remove the malware and backdoors, and rebuild clean where that is safer. Then I close the hole they used.
What's included
- Triage: what is running, what is listening, what changed and when
- Entry point found where possible: weak SSH, old plugin, leaked key, exposed panel or port
- Malware, cron jobs, rogue users, SSH keys and web shells removed
- Clean rebuild to a fresh server when the old one cannot be trusted
- All passwords, keys and tokens rotated
- Hardening so the same attack fails next time
- Written incident summary you can send to your host or client
Who this is for
- Hosting provider suspended your VPS for abuse
- High CPU from unknown processes (crypto miners)
- WordPress or PHP sites with injected redirects or spam pages
What I need from you
- SSH or console access
- Any abuse emails from your host
- Your latest backup, if you have one
How it works
- Message me with what you need. The first consultation is free.
- I confirm the scope and a fixed price before any work starts.
- I do the work and keep you updated in the chat.
- You review it, and I hand over notes, access and anything I changed.

Questions
Can you guarantee the server is clean?
Nobody can promise that about a server that was rooted. When the attacker had root, I recommend a clean rebuild and I migrate your data to it. That is the only safe answer.
Will I lose data?
I take a snapshot or copy before I touch anything, and I restore your data from known-good copies.
What you'll get
- Production-ready implementation tailored to your goals
- Clean, maintainable code following modern best practices
- Deployment to secure infrastructure with monitoring
- Handover with documentation and full access
Tech stack & tooling
- Ubuntu and Debian servers
- Nginx, SSL and firewalls
- Security hardening and updates
- Backups, migrations and cron jobs
How we'll work together
We start with a short requirements discussion, agree on scope and milestones, then move through implementation, review and handover. You get clear visibility into progress and a stable deployment at the end.
