Reply To: Database Clean-up using BPS Pro-Tools

If a website is already hacked then it is much simpler and quicker to backup your existing site files and database, put the site in maintenance mode or take it offline some other way, change all passwords, delete the existing site, reinstall everything brand new and import ONLY your WordPress content database tables into your new WordPress database or if you have a backup of the site and database that you are 100% sure is clean then delete the existing site and restore it from that backup that you are 100% sure is clean.

Dehacking a website is time consuming even for a seasoned professional so the quicker and simpler method that guarantees the site is 100% clean is to nuke it and do selective restoration of database content tables ONLY.

Trying to explain and document how to use the Pro-Tools tools that can be used to dehack a website would mean trying to condense a lifetime of knowledge and experience into something simple and easy to understand for the average person.  In other words, that would be a very foolish and time consuming task to try and attempt and the end result would most likely be a lot of wasted time for everyone involved.  The scope of website dehacking (what to look for, must be able to read, understand and write code proficiently, etc.) is simply too great to be condensed into anything that could be usable for the average person.
