Hi folks, can some decode this plop for me? Or clue me in to what the purpose of this is... declare @q varchar(8000) select @q = 0x57414954464F522044454C4159202730303A30303A323027 print @q I have a Magento site that is seeing a good bit of this pasted into the search on one of my clients site. thanks, Nigel
The whole statement is TransactSQL which is used in Microsoft SQL Server. 0x57414954464F522044454C4159202730303A30303A323027 means WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:20' The purpose of this statement is to make a delay inside the database for 20 seconds. I guess it is some kind of jerk-attack on your site.
