# Hacking phpinfo()? More Like a Free Ticket to the FBI’s Inbox ![Hacking Attempts? More Like a Free Ticket to the FBI’s Inbox](https://cdn.richeyweb.com/images/articles/phpinfo/phpinfo-shenanigans.webp) You know the drill: [hosting](/test-article "Shader BG Test") life means sifting through 404 logs like a digital archaeologist. This week’s find? Thousands of [bots](/blog/development/one-sh-tty-email-that-made-me-finally-do-something-about-spam "One Sh*tty Email That Made Me Finally Do Something About Spam") clawing at my server for phpinfo.php in every directory they could dream up—most of which don’t even exist. My usual move? Redirect those suckers straight to an FBI hate crime database [download](/joomla-techniques/richeyweb-joomla-1-5-extensions-are-no-longer-available "RicheyWeb Joomla 1.5 extensions are no longer available"). It’s my little “get lost” postcard—funny, sure, but that’s just the warm-up. This time, I went full prankster. Buried in the archives, I dug up an 11-year-old phpinfo() output—like a fine wine of deprecated code. I couldn’t resist: I spruced it up, swapped the server hostnames to match mine, and turned the ancient images into slick data-URIs so they’d render like it’s 2025, not 2014. The cherry on top? Every email field now screams This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Yep, next time those bots come sniffing, they’ll get a vintage PHP info page that looks legit—until they realize they’re pinging the feds. I’m cackling just picturing the confusion. ## phpinfo - but Totally Fabricated Everything is wrong in this [phpinfo](/phpinfo.php) page. The paths, the versions, the email addresses - the only thing that's correct is the hostname....so as not to look suspicious! Now, imagine being a hacker who finally snags that juicy phpinfo.php file—only to realize it’s a glorious fake. When every server detail’s a lie, from emails to versions to config values, it’s like handing them a treasure map that leads to a dumpster. They’re stuck chasing ghosts, wasting cycles on bogus intel while my real [setup](/blog/development/the-humbling-art-of-free-software "The Humbling Art of Free Software") stays cloaked. It’s not just a prank—it’s a middle finger to their playbook, turning their own game into a wild goose chase. [Chaos](/blog/personal/this-is-how-you-kill-joomla-as-a-platform "This Is How You Kill Joomla as a Platform") is a great teacher, and I’m happy to be the lesson. ​ The best part? While I’m grinning over this little stunt, it’s all built on a foundation of serious [security](/blog/personal/why-my-joomla-extensions-are-free "Why My Joomla Extensions Are Free"). We’ve got an A+ from SSL Labs, HSTS preloading locked in, and a SecurityHeaders.io A that’s practically framed on my wall. So, yeah, the bots might get a laugh (or a headache) from my fake-out, but my clients get the real deal: hosting that’s tough as nails. Need a site that’s secure enough to sleep easy—and maybe have a chuckle too? I’ve got you covered. - [ email ](mailto:?subject=Hacking+phpinfo%28%29%3F+More+Like+a+Free+Ticket+to+the+FBI%E2%80%99s+Inbox&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.richeyweb.com%2Fblog%2Fhosting%2Fhacking-phpinfo-more-like-a-free-ticket-to-the-fbis-inbox) - [ facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.richeyweb.com%2Fblog%2Fhosting%2Fhacking-phpinfo-more-like-a-free-ticket-to-the-fbis-inbox) - [ x-twitter ](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Hacking+phpinfo%28%29%3F+More+Like+a+Free+Ticket+to+the+FBI%E2%80%99s+Inbox%3A+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.richeyweb.com%2Fblog%2Fhosting%2Fhacking-phpinfo-more-like-a-free-ticket-to-the-fbis-inbox) - [ linkedin ](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.richeyweb.com%2Fblog%2Fhosting%2Fhacking-phpinfo-more-like-a-free-ticket-to-the-fbis-inbox&title=Hacking+phpinfo%28%29%3F+More+Like+a+Free+Ticket+to+the+FBI%E2%80%99s+Inbox&summary=You+know+the+drill%3A+hosting+life+means+sifting+thr...) - [ pinterest ](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.richeyweb.com%2Fblog%2Fhosting%2Fhacking-phpinfo-more-like-a-free-ticket-to-the-fbis-inbox&media=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.joomla.org%2Fimages%2Fjoomla-org-og.jpg&description=Hacking+phpinfo%28%29%3F+More+Like+a+Free+Ticket+to+the+FBI%E2%80%99s+Inbox) [ Previous article: AI Automation Unlocking Content Opportunities AI Automation Unlocking Content Opportunities ](/blog/hosting/ai-automation-unlocking-content-opportunities) [ Next article: Administrators need to stick together Administrators need to stick together ](/blog/hosting/administrators-need-to-stick-together) ##### We Value Your Privacy We use cookies to enhance your experience and for traffic analysis.
