Mad H4×0rs

Site, Software December 5th, 2007

One of the fantastic things about having a blog that nobody reads is that any anomoly quickly shows up. If I hit up the statistics page for my domain, I see this:

 

Search Keyphrases (Top 10)

So my site was found 6 times by searching for pps til exe.

The number three most visited page on my domain is “gallery/tmp/download-freeware-.pps-to-.exe.html”. That is,  someone has used an exploit for Gallery V1 (or maybe just my mismanagement) and is using my site to host their illegal goodies. I’ve since deleted all traces of Gallery v1 and am hoping Gallery v2 is more robust. However, if I’d had more than say 100 people viewing legitimate things on this site, those hack entries wouldn’t have made it into the list and I’d have been none the wiser. Finally, I have found a good reason to be unpopular.
