You poor bastard. I had to examine the code for their commercial version after the BugTraq alerts. I have never seen such a pile of shite which someone has dared to charge money for. Methinks I made my opinion clear enough to the guy who manages the site run with it. ;^) > can someone please help me with a script w/c searches the contents of > all those small files and looks for __"http://209.155.163.97/__ and then > replaces them with __"http://www.pexchange.com/__ ? man perlrun(1) to see about being able to edit files in place, saving backups. Then, from shell-prompt (and this in untested, so take backups and lots of them :^) : shell_prompt$ perl -i.old \ -e 's{http://209.155.163.97/}{http://www.pexchange.com/}g' \ $(find THOSE_DIRECTORIES -name \*.cgi -print) which should do the job quite nicely. Note the backslashes - you can omit them if you make sure to type those three lines as one.
