Java Problems

[runeps]

2-3 weeks ago my computer was hacked into & my java problems started then...

I get these errors on java programmed pages & webclients programmed by java such as runescape...

I'll post some of the errors:

x10hosting Irc error:

Connecting... 
Unable to connect : java.security.AccessControlException : access denied (java.net.SocketPermission irc.x10hosting.com resolve)

Runescape Webclient Error:

Java Plug-in 1.6.0_14
Using JRE version 1.6.0_14-b08 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

c: clear console window
f: finalize objects on finalization queue
g: garbage collect
h: display this help message
l: dump classloader list

q: hide console
r: reload policy configuration
s: dump system and deployment properties
t: dump thread list
v: dump thread stack
x: clear classloader cache
0-5: set trace level to <n>
----------------------------------------------------

Ignored exception: java.io.EOFException

Runescape Webclient Error Picture:

Does anyone see what the hacker might of done to my java?

This isn't a programming issue. The "Free Hosting" forum is a better fit.

Connecting...
Unable to connect : java.security.AccessControlException : access denied (java.net.SocketPermission irc.x10hosting.com resolve) [/CODE]

The applet tried to create a socket (a network connection) to the X10 IRC server, but was denied while trying to resolve irc.x10hosting.com. Often this particular error pops up when the applet is trying to connect to a server other than the one the applet is hosted on. Could indicate some sort of network redirection, useful for man-in-the-middle attacks.

java.io.EOFException
at java.io.DataInputStream.readInt(...)
at sun.security.provider.JavaKeyStore.engineLoad(...)
...

JavaKeyStore encountered an end of file while trying to read a certificate. Some certificate files have either been deleted or are empty.

How to fix it is what's most important, and (in this case) what happened isn't relevant. If someone compromised your computer, the only sure fix is a nuke & pave:

1. Back up any documents (but not executables). If you're a good little kid and keep regular backups, you're done with this step.
2. Reformat
3. Reinstall:
   1. OS
   2. security software
   3. other software
4. Restore documents.

I understand your good with programming but can you put it in english please? Where I can understand..? :nuts:

It can't be restated any simpler, which is to say that's as close to lay English as it gets without being simplistic or useless. I could go over what each term means, but that would take awhile to explain.

As I said, it doesn't matter what they did, the only safe way to fix a compromised computer is to wipe it clean and start from scratch. If you don't understand what the nuke 'n' pave steps mean, find someone who does. If you're feeling brave, google for detailed instructions.

Notice: I have important things on my computer wouldnt deleting everthing in my hardrive delete everthing on my desktop,etc? :dunno:

Yes, which is why step 1 is "backup documents". Not to sound discouraging, but it really sounds like you need to get a technician to work on this.

You also need a tech to determine if the computer was likely compromised by a cracker or if the errors are caused by malware or some other to-be-determined cause. It's why I keep talking about nuke 'n' pave in terms of a compromised computer, rather than your computer.
