To BOFH or not to BOFH	by UGuardian	2007-10-05 20:52:35
I just happened to notice that there are a few people that have been trying to hack (via script kiddie methods) my site. I anticipated most of the things they are trying and coded the scripts to deal with them. What I didn't expect was for them to look for installations of phpbb or other popular (and exploitable) scripts. None of those directories exist, nor are they linked to or referenced anywhere. The fun part is that they are obviously casing the site: some amusingly malformed URLs are in the logs. Also, they keep revisiting these non-existent URLs as if they are expecting them to magically work if they visit them often enough. They have yet to do any harm, but I'm rather tempted to set one or more of those non-existent directories to be a redirect to something recently mentioned on Two Lumps. There's only about 4 IPs, so I'll probably just blackhole 'em all.
