Interestingly enough if you google for a combinations of that log entry you dont get much until you hit "sirh0t". Google turns up quite a bit on this busy fellow as evidenced here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&q=sirh0t&btnG=Search sirh0t seems to be into defacing phbb forums and a bit of botting. The real entertaining part is when you go to the w00pie.nl (sirh0ts) site, it seems to have been defaced by another group "0x1fe crew" that have a low opinion of our lad sirh0t, I'll leave the content for you to view at: http://w00pie.nl A bit more googling turns up the following: "Five computer hackers in the Netherlands have been handed sentences ranging from work orders to youth detention for disabling a number of websites operated by the Dutch government." http://lists.jammed.com/ISN/2005/03/0090.html Have a nice day.

A quick google for the UA string doesn't show up anything, however the URL that it links to seems to contain a PHP script that at a quick glance uses Google and Lycos to find more phpBB sites and spread to them. (If the yatas.com link is gone, and anyone wants a copy of the file, mail me offlist) I'm also curious to know what the versions vulnerable to this exploit are. -- Robin <robin () kallisti net nz> JabberID: <eythian () jabber kallisti net nz> Hostes alienigeni me abduxerunt.
