Safety is a real priority for us and we stress it to our students as they learn welding. Thanks for the great articles, we will certainly be adding this information to our welding program.

Thanks again,

Base64 is a method of encryption/decryption.

The virus, is actually a script that includes a “binary” executable in the form of text, using base64 ecryption. The PHP code uses the eval method of calling the

To evaluate what the program does, you must decrypt the code, saving into binary, then you must reverse engineer or run in a “safe thread” that can be evaluated for it’s purposes.

The attack on your server was simple: use a web form provided on your site to feed garbage data until the server executes that data, saving a file into the web folder. Then, the attacker calls the program directly using the URL to the script… and if your server isn’t locked down just right, it will run.. injecting a binary into memory.. and they are in.

Attackers tend to find security flaws in common free programs like blog scripts, then will find blogs on the web, then attact them.

The mistake is that base64 was an encryption/decryption protocol… it is not. It is actually a method of encoding and decoding data, both text and binary so that it can be easily transfered between services such as client/server… and for things like storing images and other files in a SQL database… the possibilities are sort of endless… Sometimes i write without reviewing my statements, thus why i didn’t catch the encryption/decryption vs encoding/decoding.

At the time of the initial laser treatment the Dr. said I had a mild case and she expected good results. She also said treatments beyond the initial may require additional payment. Initial treatment was $1,000.00 Five month followup revealed some improvement – not great. Dr. implied that their limited experience indicated a second treatment might be necessary and she did so without an additional charge contrary to her statement at the initial treatment.

I am scheduled for a followup tomorrow and will be interested to hear what the Dr. says. After 10 months I would have expected to see more results. The two smallest nails are essentially no different. Two middle nails look about 30% better but I achieved the same with vinegar years ago. Big toe was looking better, could see new clear growth but lately the fungus seems to be crawling back down the nail.

I think the protocol for this treatment is backward – rather than zapping the nail every five or six months I think they should zap them every month. At this point I couldn’t recommend the treatment at a cost of $1,000… I think all of the early adopters like myself are just beta testers because they rushed this device to market.

Should also mention that they sold me a topical treatment that I have been using twice a day – Dr. said it was a stronger version of an OTC antifungal – and a spray that I’m meant to shoot into my shoes to kill fungus. Both cost about $25 total. I was annoyed that after the $1,000 laser treatment I still had to monkey with the topical stuff. They also tried to sell me an electric UV light shoe tree to kill fungus for $120 but I didn’t bite. Sorry for the length of the post and I’ll update after my appt.

Dear fair reader, on Aug 12th, I emailed Tom directly asking him the question above. I have not yet heard back a response… likely because he is a liar. I would love to be corrected but doubt I will be.

USDirectory.com is the best!!!! I edited my web site with all sorts of photos and information and added coupons to the account. I started receiving calls around the end of the 2nd month. Customer service assisted me with everything and when the references came it equaled about $100. They refunded that money and set me on the flat rate and its been worth it!!!1

To be honest though the lamisil once seems to have worked so much faster and I will keep on trying with this and hope I have some improvement as you have had!

There is a company called novabiotics, they have made a product that sounds very succesful, they are still doing their trials though so it will probably be another year or so until it is available. I wish I could find out the ingredients but I dont think they have been announced yet.

Anyway I will keep battling and thanks so much again Fungus for your help and you have given me hope too! For so many years this has depressed me so it is so good when someone finds something that works and shares their results and help others! :)
