Follow these steps to install and configure the script for your website. These instructions apply to novice users. Advanced users may want to make changes.
1. Unzip the file.
2. Upload the contents of the injection_scanner directory to a directory of your choice on your webserver.
3. Change the permissions of the .htaccess and config.php files to CHMOD 777.
4. Create an empty MySQL database and write down the name, user, and password.
5. Visit the URL to the install.php file. It should be something like: http://www.yoursite.com/injection_scanner/install.php.
6. Fill out the form, write down the value in the Absolute Path form field, and click the install button. You should not need to change the Exploit List or Absolute Path.
7. Edit the source code for the page you want to protect. On the first line of the source code, insert the following code. Remember to replace /absolute/path/to/ with the absolute path you wrote down in step 6.
<?php include('/absolute/path/to/scan.php'); ?>
8. Make sure the extension of the file you are protecting is .php. If not, change it.
9. Visit the protected page and add the query string ?cmd= to the end of the filename. If your IP address is banned or logged, the script is working.
10. Visit the URL to the admin login page. It should be something like: http://www.yoursite.com/injection_scanner/admin/. Log in and delete the entry containing your IP address.
