Funny you should mention awstats vulnerabilities, jeremy zawodny's domain (zawodny.com) was hacked using an awstats vulnerability (by Infektion Group). To this day, this yahoo employee offers great tips for international hackers to target individual employees. Not only from the intelligence his blog offers from his posts, but by the countless corporate users who post in his comments section, and of course, his backend logs for his site are a wealth of information on corporate users, but we won't go into the detaills of how the logs of his site might be compromised and how they would be used to attack the yahoo dot com domain right now. And Yahoo's word on Yahoo employees blogging and the relation to major cyber attacks against Yahoo dot com infrastructure, along with its domain name servers, a lot of the time provided by "aka" is of course complete silence. How cute.

Many thanks for that. In fact I should've known this myself [rap over
knuckles with ruler] as its the Apache logs that started me on this hacking
thing. After checking my logs I noticed some strange entries and I believe
on this post I posted some of these strange HTTP requests. I was tols that
they were known exploits in AWSTATS which I fortunately don't have
installed. Funny because the IP's of these attackers were in the log as
well.
Now I feel just a little foolish.
Still thanks for the good info - nice one
