I am looking for a highly experienced Linux server and data recovery expert. This is NOT a standard WordPress task. Background: My server was hit by a possible ransomware/malware incident. Both the live data and backup storage were affected. What has been done so far: - Files were recovered using PhotoRec - Many files (.zip, .sql, images) were extracted - HOWEVER: most recovered files appear encrypted or corrupted - Two freelancers already attempted recovery without success Current situation: - Recovered files exist but are unusable - File names are lost (PhotoRec output) - Content appears encrypted, partially overwritten, or damaged - Need deep analysis to determine if recovery is still possible I need to recover 15 specific websites if not all

Hi, I hope you are doing well! I understand how stressful this situation is and I am confident I can help you recover your WordPress sites from the compromised server. Here is how I will approach this: Disk Analysis: Interpret PhotoRec output and identify recoverable file fragments. WordPress Rebuild: Reconstruct databases, themes, and uploads from salvaged data. Priority Recovery: Focus first on your most critical sites from the 15 targets. Security Hardening: Ensure the rebuilt environment is clean and protected. A few questions to help me get started: 1. Do you have any partial database dumps, old emails, or cached versions of the sites we can cross-reference during recovery? 2. Which of the 15 sites are highest priority, and do any have stricter deadlines than others? 3. Are you open to migrating the recovered sites to a new clean server, or must they be restored to the same machine? Looking forward to helping you get back online as quickly as possible. Azeem Amin

Hi, when everything’s gone, the real skill is bringing it back from fragments. I understand your server was compromised and you're now relying on PhotoRec output to recover 15 WordPress sites with no backups this involves identifying valid core files, reconstructing databases where possible, re-linking themes/plugins, and restoring each site into a working state. I can step in to analyze the recovered data, rebuild the installations, and get as many sites live again as possible. Quick question: do you still have access to the original database files (or any .sql remnants) from the recovery? Let’s connect via chat and share thoughts further Regards, -Ahmed!

Interesting project, I will work through the PhotoRec output with you — identifying recoverable PHP files, wp-content assets, and database fragments — then reconstruct as many of the 15 target WordPress sites as possible from what the disk carve produces. One thing I will prioritize early: locating any MySQL/MariaDB `.frm`, `.ibd`, or `ibdata1` files among the recovered data. The database holds posts, pages, users, and options — without it, even fully recovered theme and plugin files only give you an empty shell. If InnoDB tablespace files survived, I will use innodb_force_recovery to extract SQL dumps before rebuilding each site on a clean, hardened server with updated credentials, new salts, and malware scanning to ensure the original compromise vector is closed. Looking forward to potentially working together. Thanks, Kamran

Greeting! I specialise in Linux server recovery and WordPress restoration with 9+ years of experience handling compromised systems, data carving, and rebuilding sites from partial or corrupted data. Here’s how I can help: Analyse PhotoRec output and identify valid WordPress files (wp-content, themes, uploads, configs) Reconstruct each site by rebuilding directory structure and recovering usable assets Recover and rebuild databases (from fragments, logs, or residual MySQL data if available) Restore as many of the 15 websites as possible into working WordPress instances Clean recovered files from malware/backdoors before deployment Deploy recovered sites on a secure environment and verify functionality I understand this is a critical recovery scenario with no backups—priority will be maximising data salvage and getting sites live again quickly. To proceed, could you confirm: Server OS and filesystem (ext4, XFS, etc.) Whether MySQL data directory still exists (/var/lib/mysql) Approx size of PhotoRec output and file types recovered (PHP, JPG, SQL, etc.)?

Ransomware recovery with damaged and partially overwritten files is tough but not impossible. From what you describe, the encryption or corruption likely means the original file system metadata is lost, so typical recovery tools like PhotoRec only get raw fragments. In a similar case before, I performed deep forensic analysis on disk images and log files to reconstruct file structures and identify remnants of encryption headers/patterns. Often, some sites have salvageable bits if we can piece together partial files or decrypt known file formats. Key steps would be examining recovered files for consistent encryption signatures, checking server logs or snapshots for key material, then trying targeted carving or metadata rebuilding. Have you been able to obtain a disk image snapshot or any logs indicating the ransomware strain? Are the encryption keys or ransom notes available from the infection? If you can share access to recovered data sets, I can start a detailed assessment of file headers and patterns to determine what can be decrypted or reconstructed. This approach helped a previous client recover 7 of 10 encrypted sites where others gave up. Ready to dig into the data immediately and provide a clear recovery plan.

Hi there, I understand the critical nature of this situation. I can step in immediately to help you reconstruct the 15 priority WordPress sites from your compromised Linux server. With 7+ years of experience and a strong background working in an IT firm, I specialize in server disaster recovery, malware forensics, and advanced database reconstruction. Rebuilding from PhotoRec is incredibly complex because it strips filenames and directory structures. My approach will be: Data Sorting: Filtering the carved PhotoRec data to isolate MySQL data files (like .ibd/.frm or orphaned .sql dumps) and image assets from the wp-content/uploads folders. Database Reconstruction: Manually extracting and rebuilding the wp_posts and wp_options tables from the salvaged database fragments. Site Reassembly: Setting up a clean, hardened staging environment to piece together the recovered databases and media for the 15 target sites. Quick Question: Do you have root SSH access so I can review the PhotoRec output directly, and was the MySQL database hosted on the same partition you are currently carving? I am ready to start immediately. Best regards, Nishat Sanzida
