Both the web files and the database have been tampered pointing to malicious JavaScript. They have tasked me to rebuild their site, but I would like to be able to view the site if possible to get at the content and view the site as they had a lot of pages. Since I didn’t originally build the site I don’t know the structure of the content.

I don’t have to repair the site; I just need to rebuild it with the CMS of my choice. I don’t know anything about the Joomla database, or know if I can even get access to it to be able to start there.

I originally thought using a virtual machine would be OK for this, but I wasn’t sure if I would be risking my host machine as well using this method. I would of course turn off JavaScript but I was hoping someone else may have been already been down this road and might be able to offer some insight.
