Wordpress admin account cracking

by dbork on Dec.01, 2009, under New

Sans.org has posted an interesting cURL script for a distributed brute force attack against Wordpress admin accounts. The script runs a loop until the “Log Out” phrase is returned by the server. The URL is http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=7663

Make sure that you secure your blog with strong passwords and change the default user name that you use for administration!

New Blog site available

by dbork on Sep.07, 2008, under Information

This new blog site will cover subjects related to information security. This will cover topics like HIPAA, Forensic analysis, Server hardening and Network security. I am being especially careful about the privacy of clients. I want this to be informative as well as educational.
