I have been going through the logs for my site and noticed a lot of attempts from script kiddies to try and run exploits against me. They all fail and, because of these script kiddies idiocy, I have even managed to block most of their pathetic attempts from even reaching my site. Now all I can think of is that this is the work of some Turkish group who refer to themselves as hackers but are in fact script kiddies. I recently received an email from a forum I was a member of years ago saying it had been "hacked". The forum had not been hacked it had been exploited and defaced but these script kiddies are to stupid to know the difference. Anyway the email was from the person who had defaced the forum so I emailed him back pointing out that they are not a hacker but a script kiddy who can do nothing more than use exploits they find posted on web sites in easy step by step instructions.
This is all these so called "hackers" can do. They look at security sites for exploits and then use Google to try and find sites using vulnerable versions of scripts. This is why you should always make sure your scripts are up to date.
Real hackers look for ways to break things, ways to gain access, ways to circumvent security. Most are either paid to do this or report any holes they find to the relevant companies who usually reward them. Some do it for dirty money such as those who create bot nets.
But anyway let the kiddies play. I just keep reporting the scripts they keep trying to use against me and get them taken down. Takes me all of 2 minutes to do so.
