Stop that

(etc., etc... Each page was done about 4 times, and in total 200 hacky attempts were made)

Dear hackers,

I would have thought that with all the 404s you're getting that you would at least give up. I don't have anything to do with any files called protection.php on my site and scouring every single link trying to hack me is a waste of time.

Go away.

No love,
Me.

  1. Bastards aren't they? ;)

    You realise that they're trying to use an arbitary code execution flaw found in several Codegrrl.com products a couple of years ago?

  2. Oh I know very well what they're trying to do... I blogged about it a couple of days ago, hehe.

    Though this proves people are still using those insecure scripts. If this isn't a warning that they'll be hit then I don't know what is...

  3. Sometimes it takes something like this to 'scare' people in to reacting to a potential problem that they would otherwise have ignored! ;)

  4. Ah, I remember when my whole server was hacked. I could have cried, especially because I was a fool and didn't have any back-ups.

  5. I realize that Paul has beaten me to what I was going to say. Seeing a file called "protection" immediately made me think of CodeGrrl scripts, since they have (well, had) such a file in their scripts. Maybe you've been associated with them because of PHPAskIt (zomg it's lyke tutally insekiore).

  7. "If this isn't a warning that they'll be hit then I don't know what is" — people at TFL get hacked using phpFanBase and yet continue installing it. There's no helping some.

  8. ^ Yeah, but they're idiots (just those who think PHPFB is awsum!11, not all TFL members).

  9. Eh. That sucks man! Damn hackers >:[

  10. I hate hackers.

    I really don't see the point of them, since they don't gain anything from hacking personal sites.

  11. Ug. 200 hacky attempts. Idiotic.
