Bad Guest Behavior
Submitted by Wesley R. Elsberry on Wed, 2005-08-03 02:26.
This is a new install of CMS software to run the AE site upon. I'm getting a feel for things and one thing I'm certain of is that this provides a good basis for a collaborative website.
Unfortunately, one side effect of going public early is that I now am also dealing with early cracking attempts. Someone at IP address 64.124.85.72 spent a good chunk of the evening trying to get to various administration pages without authentication. One typical item from the log:
Type access denied Date Wednesday, August 3, 2005 - 00:31 User Anonymous Location /cs/admin/system/modules Message admin/system/modules denied access. Severity warning Hostname 64.124.85.72
So I've installed the "troll module" that gives IP banning capability here. Good-bye, Mr. 64.124.85.72. Find yourself another IP address, and see if you can find your misplaced moral compass before your next visit.
