there is no malware inside the code.
Why don't you answer the question?? Why do you keep hiding the links you are using to filearmy? I noticed your old fake links were tagged as spam links. Is that the reason?
The reason was website is view able. I've requested filearmy administrators to remove ads from download page, and allow direct download. after that I'll request for unblock the website.
I found this: silence is golden
die(); inside the index php file. I don't know code that well but, when I searched for it online it was referred to as a website hack. Is this true, anyone? If so, DO NOT UPLOAD THIS PLUGIN. I would really like to know and then this thread should be killed before anyone gets their site infected. Please advise!?
That is most likely the best bet but, just to protect those who might try to use it can someone please answer the question at hand?
That is put into some index files to protect content within a directory. Normally using die() isn't considered a good practice because it causes some SEO issues (from what I read). But some people use it to keep people from browsing a directory such as the plugin directory. The best bet to protect directories from browsing is to use the .htaccess approach if the server isn't set up to prohibit directory browsing.
I'm not going to explain it all here, but what you have brought up isn't a hacked file. It's an attempt to protect the plugin directory from being browsed.
The "Silence is golden" thing is something WordPress has done for years. You might take a look within the support topics at WordPress.org such as but not limited to the following:
