comment Is ProxyPass more secure than directly hosting PHP site?
Did you really tried to compare vulnerabilities between Apache (2.2.x to be fair, even gentle) with Nginx ? Have a look at this page and compare the number of CVE per year. Apache has such a codebase that it's normal it has more vulnerabilites, Nginx have the advantage of being way much lighter.

comment Is TrueCrypt safe enough to store clear-text-passwords?
Remember you will be using Truecrypt on "any machine" so your password won't be secure at all the first time you decrypt them. Please only use trusted computers with your secret data!

I would hope MS (and Apple) embrace the unix way "Everything is a file", we would gain in compatibility.

comment Knowing Hash Algorithm from Hashed String
Just tried it on OP's hash and I got "Not Found", I tried upper and lowercases to be sure. The list known/recognizable of hashes is here: code.google.com/p/hash-identifier/source/browse/trunk/…

Just a quick note, your reference to facebook is not accurate, what facebook does (github.com/facebook/hiphop-php/wiki) is translating PHP into C++ and then compiling it, thus executing a PHP app as a binary.

Given the variety of functions it supports it could do anything as there is a function to download an execute files and commands. It definately have flood capabilities. Which user had this crontab set-up ? Even if it's not root the user could have found an exploit to escalate to it as he most likely had acces to the server.
