Hack attempts ...

One of my sites is being hit with an attempt to hack into it or at least
that is what I assume. The following SQL is being added where they think
it will get processed

+AND+(SELECT+8041+FROM(SELECT+COUNT(%2A),CONCAT(0x3a6f79753a,(SELECT+(CASE+WHEN+(8041%3D8041)+THEN+1+ELSE+0+END)),0x3a70687a3a,floor(rand(0)%2A2))x+FROM+INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHARACTER_SETS+GROUP+BY+x)a)+AND+(7609%3D7609
---probably truncated?----

I can see traffic about INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHARACTER_SETS being missing
and people needing to update to MySQL 5, but I am a little curious as to
what this is trying to achieve?

Needless to say my framework does not allow any injections like this to
be processed anyway. It's just creating a lot of traffic on the error
log and if it persists I'll add some handling and create a page saying
why Firebird does not suffer from that vulnerability ;)

Seems to be an automated bot that tries to takeover the server something inspired by sqlmap

https://github.com/sqlmapproject/sqlmap https://github.com/sqlmapproject/sqlmap


or phpmvs
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmvs/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmvs/




some of the takeover attempts are useless on a firebird system

Interesting ...
Of cause it fails miserably when it's injecting into parameters anyway :)

Since it claims to be able to identify Firebird has anybody actually
seen it do anything but cause error messages? It obviously has no idea
what underlies the sites it's trying to hack?
