There were about 8-10 lame crack attempts like that in the snippets section earlier too, though it looks like they've all been reaped at this point.	[reply]

I bet we don't even see half of this stupid attemps. I wonder what age these kids are "We all agree on the necessity of compromise. We just can't agree on when it's necessary to compromise." - Larry Wall.	[reply]

Dunno, but they really need to discover girls. Or boys. Or barnyard animals.	[reply]

We're just lucky this hacker didn't find out that you need to go back 21 directory levels to escape out of the username field. One more and the server would have been toast. Of course hackers had more patience in my day. Why I remember when...	[reply]

Where did you see this? In your webserver logs? It looks like an attempt to break out of the base directory of some kind of server and get to read your /etc/passwd (presumably to help in cracking passwords on your machine).	[reply]

Can someone explain to me the point of placing a possible path to the password file in the "new username" (`$nu_name`) field? Wouldn't that only pay off if that input were used somewhere in an open call, which seems highly unlikely? In fact, I'd only see a point in attempting a SQL injection attack at this point (any users named foo' OR 'a'='a out there?) I think you'd be a fool to think that the [id://pmdev]s on PerlMonks left any obvious security holes. That's not to say there's never been a security breach here before!	[reply] [d/l]
