A new kind of hack?

Post by Caliderumba » Tue Jul 15, 2014 4:52 pm

Since a few weeks ago, I see somebody trying to hack my site using the follow:

Code: Select all

** Local File Inclusion [POST:path] => /../../../qq5.txt
** Local File Inclusion [REQUEST:path] => /../../../qq5.txt

**PAGE / SERVER INFO


*REMOTE_ADDR :
212.227.58.213

*HTTP_USER_AGENT :
Mozilla/3.8 (Windows; U; Windows NT 3.6; en-US; rv:2.6.8.7) Gecko/20140715180316 Firefox/1.8.3

*REQUEST_METHOD :
POST

*QUERY_STRING :
140715-180316



** SUPERGLOBALS DUMP (sanitized)


*$_GET DUMP
 -[140715-180316] =>


*$_POST DUMP
 -[path] => /qq5.txt
 -[raw_data] => hacked by you


*$_COOKIE DUMP


*$_REQUEST DUMP
 -[140715-180316] =>
 -[path] => /qq5.txt
 -[raw_data] => hacked by you
I just want to warning all the comunnity about this, this attack does nothing on my site, I use marcos interceptor, also admin tools and the security options from shef 404 component, but when I Google it, what I see is only a site, been hacked, I don't find to much info.

I've seen this before - and it was a harmless because of a software firewall. I did notice by the way that lately there is a surge in trying to hack a Joomla website through JCE (specifically the "Image Manager").
