    Default Hacker 404 errors

    Hi,

    I have a plugin installed that sends me email when anyone 404s. I keep seeing similar style URLs from 404s, and wonder if it is a known hack that tells you something about the sites configuration based on what it returns, or if I'm just losing orders -

    /index.php?disp_order=2&page=61&main_page=products_new2121121121212.1

    Thanks,

    Eric

    There basically sql injection attempts.. start off with a set of numbers then change depending on what the command line they used..
    like
    Code:
    products_id=22%27%20and%20%27x%27%3D%27x
    If your up to date on versions, then you should be fine... I've been running basic scans on my development version of ZC155f to make sure my own created forms are safe. Runs about 123 404 errors in server logs by the time the scan is done. The tools are open source in Python2 and are illegal to use without site owner permission. Python is a command line tool and can run on any OS, fake IP, Host and user agent... Staying up to date is the best option for protection.

    So it used to be /index.php?disp_order issue above, and over the last 6 weeks or so it has now been 404s on /status?full and /console daily a few times. I'm getting people all over the world, so as a Zen Cart site, I'm wondering what I'm doing to attract these people, and if they know if I have a ZC site or if these things when working tell them I am using other specific software etc. Thanks, Eric

    It would seem they're just probing to test whether your site is vulnerable to any weaknesses that other software is often prone to.

    You can spend a lot of time looking at those kinds of things and never benefit from it. While it can be useful to watch for patterns and observe sudden changes, nothing you've posted here suggests anything alarming. Particularly if you're using the latest version of Zen Cart.
