PHP Webshells & Backdoors Removal Services — Emergency Cleanup & Hardening

 

If your site is compromised by a hidden PHP webshell or backdoor, every minute increases risk to customers, data, and your brand. We specialize in locating, removing, and hardening against persistent webshells and backdoors across WordPress, Magento, and bespoke PHP sites. Expect emergency containment, same-day cleanup where possible, forensic evidence collection, and follow-up hardening so attackers can’t return.

 


Why PHP Webshells & Backdoors Are Dangerous

Stealthy persistence — can stay dormant and activate on demand.

Remote command execution — upload/download files, run arbitrary code, escalate privileges.

Reinfection risk — recreate backdoors, modify crons, re-seed malware after cleanup.

Data exposure — exfiltrate credentials, database contents, and admin access.

Proper remediation must remove all persistence and fix the root cause.


When to Call a Professional Webshell Removal Team

Suspicious outbound traffic from the web server.

Repeated file changes in non-deployment directories.

New/modified admin accounts, unknown scheduled jobs or crons.

Redirects, pop-ups, or scanners reporting remote code execution risks.

Google/Security tools flagging the site for malicious activity.

Forensic-quality evidence collection and logging for compliance/insurance.

Thorough hunting and removal of webshells, backdoors, and persistence.

Platform-specific remediation for WordPress, Magento, and custom PHP.

Root-cause analysis, hardening guidance, transparent reporting, optional warranty.


Emergency Webshell Removal — Same-Day Response (Typical Path)

1) Immediate contact & free triage scan

Submit your URL and symptoms; we confirm compromise and severity.

Assess the need for live containment measures.

2) Containment

Maintenance page or targeted WAF rules; block malicious IPs.

Disable exposed endpoints to stop visitor exposure.

3) Snapshot & preserve evidence

Immutable snapshots of files, DB, and logs before changes.

Evidence supports scope analysis, compliance, and rollback.

4) Surgical removal

Locate and remove webshells/backdoors; quarantine suspicious files.

Disable malicious crons; clean injected content and scripts.

5) Validation & verification

Re-scan with multiple engines; manual checks for persistence.

Functional tests for login, checkout, forms, APIs.

6) Follow-up hardening

Rotate credentials; patch exploited plugins; deploy monitoring/WAF.

Provide remediation report and prevention checklist.


How We Safely Find & Remove PHP Webshells

Baseline & inventory — catalog application files, libraries, plugins, tasks.

File anomaly detection — timestamps, entropy, and indicators.

Behavioral correlation — logs and outbound activity for C2/exfil patterns.

Expert manual review — trace the full attack chain to find all persistence.

Safe remediation — restore clean core files with backups and rollback.

Evidence & reporting — before/after hashes, timeline, auditor-ready notes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a PHP webshell?

A server-side script or code fragment that lets attackers interact with the filesystem or OS remotely. It’s a common persistence mechanism in compromises.

How long does emergency webshell removal take?

Simple cases can be resolved the same day; complex or multi-server incidents may require several days for safe forensic cleanup.

Can you guarantee attackers won’t return?

No one can guarantee zero future attacks. Comprehensive removal plus hardening and monitoring greatly reduces reinfection risk. Warranty terms are available for re-cleaning if the same root cause recurs.

What does webshell removal cost?

Depends on complexity — from smaller emergency cleanups to full forensics and enterprise remediation. We provide a scoped quote after triage.

Do you coordinate with hosting/cloud providers?

Yes — to obtain snapshots, block IPs, and perform deeper server-level actions when necessary.

Is the service confidential?

Absolutely — we can work under NDAs with private communication channels and strict credential handling.


How to Prepare So We Can Start Quickly

Admin/hosting access (cPanel, Plesk) or SFTP; CMS admin credentials.

Backups (if available), list of business-critical pages, and access to logs.

Single point of contact for approvals and quick testing.

If logs/backups are missing, we proceed — our forensic snapshot becomes critical for investigation.
