Hi Joshua,

I was hoping to find a place I could report these attempted exploits. Something like the spam email RBL's. If it does not exist, I wonder why.

I do appreciate everyones input on how to secure our server and our code.

Am I the only one who noticed that you *did not* ask how to secure your site? ;)

It is a custom site. Basically one page does it all. Depending on what parameters/arguments are used in the URL will depend on what content is displayed. I setup a switch to test the URL parameters against know values. If no know value is entered to defaults to the 404 page.

I'm thinking that is pretty secure.

What index.php are you using? Is this WordPress?

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
