Hi there When I look at my AWstats it always shows a lot of hits on my perl and cgi guestbook. However, my site does not utilise these so is someone using my guestbooks? It shows that they have come into my site from there and exited from the guestbook pages. Can anyone shed some light on this please?
It could also be someone attempting to exploit problems in these scripts. You may be fine if you know your scripts are secure. I get a kick out of reviewing my logs. People are always trying to exploit my code. I just don't use phpBB, or any of the traditional CMS systems. Doesn't stop them from trying though.
thanks tandac, but how do i know if my scripts are secure? I guess they aren't if they are being found? Trouble is, these hits are making my stats incorrect!
