Web-based Honeypot Decoys: Results II

Here are some more statistics regarding the data we have collected with the help of Michael Müter's web-based honeypot decoys. PHP-Nuke is the most attractive target, presumably due to it's large number of security vulnerabilities in the past and the large user-base. Commonly, we see file inclusion or SQL injection attempts. These attacks try often to install backdoors written in PHP or defacing tools like the one from r3v3ng4ns.
