OT: Website Exploits

[keith smith]

Thank you for the heads up on mod_security.  I'm not sure if that is installed or not.

Thanks again!

That is a fairly common tactic.  
It exploits poor input validation and register globals in PHP.
Do yourself a huge favor and install mod_security (I assume you're using apache?)
as an extra measure of security if you haven't already.

Hi,

I am working on a website that gets a lot of exploit attempts.

They mostly look like this:  /index.php?display=http://humano.ya.com/mysons/index.htm?


Our code is set to disregard any value that is not expected.  

I'm wondering if there is a clearing house for reporting this type of stuff.  I have the IP address as reported.... if that is accurate.


Thanks in advance!

Keith
