My frist SPAM!! Also my first few SQL Injection attacks, even better!

In looking at my logs tonight, as well as looking at my site I noticed something fun. I received my first comment spam!! Woo Hoo!. So a big thanks to nikolas54@msn.comfrom IP address 80.17.207.50 and 212.116.219.108. Oh and just before he changed it, or the bot changed it to a proxy address it was 92.48.119.136. He posted the comment:
"comment4, instructional fight videos,  8]]], girl privates,  469869, eyeglass world in columbus georgia,  augqt, map 20of 20mass.,  zsdvy,"
To my vacation blog post. Along wiith this he also provided a link to his site, which I will not be sharing just to keep it out of prying eyes. Thou I will say it was a page full of "sexy time" links, good stuff too.

Also to add to my fun I ran across an injection attack from back on 5-27. Something was trying to pass this link do try and do some damaged to my database:
/About.aspx')%20and%201=convert(int,(select%20system_user))--sp_password

There was 3 URL's passed in all, with all of them attempting to hi-jack my system_user password. Sorry chumps even if you did get it it's not going to do you much good. After all what kind of an ass do you think I am to leave it unprotected. Try harder next time maybe you'll get something good.

This is not to say that this was a first attempt at being hacked. If I look at other logs for the server I see stuff hitting it all the time. Though I will say nothing has compromised my system. I have however had to make some network changes, this alone reduced my attack surface. I have not seen any attacks on the server in over a week. Lets just hope it stays that way.

I might be an amature developer, but security is one thing I know.

23. There is no such thing as a dumb question, so ask it ... once. Then write down the answer so that you don't have to ask it again. If you ask the same person the same question more than twice, you're an idiot (in their eyes).
