Robot hitting Admin area

[petey]

I was looking at my who's online and saw this?

Location : Unknown Location: /moderator.php?&action=useroptions&userid=9830&

IP : robot.szukacz.pl

Which goes to the admin login. I quickly renamed my index.php filename in my admin area out of suspicion of a hacker.

Anyone see something like this before?

Everybody can try the Admin URL, but unless they have permission, they will see a permission denied.

Regardless of the permission, the who is online still shows the location.

You can add a .htaccess and .htpasswd password protection with a username,pass that differs from the one you use on the forum as an extra security layer.

It only shows the location to admins and supermods by default.

I had this happen on the forum i administrate the other day. I looked at the "WHo's ONline" and it was a search bot from google. I dont think they were IN the admin CP but if you notice, someone who goes to the admin cp URL show up in the Whos Online page as "Admin Control Panel LOGIN" but the bot showed up as "Admin COntrol Panel" as if it had entered the CP. The only thing i have discussed this with superadmin/owner is that they could have been in, if it had been it the search bot would have diplayed the results on googles search engine, and that in turn could release the security of the board . i have screen shot of it, but its to large to attache here.

At any rate, it should have shown you one of the error icons if it wasn't at the actual login.

You know what your right it would have displayed this or this but on the screen shot it didnt display either of them. Does this mean that the spider enterd the CP ? ?

[Freddie Bingham]

That wouldn't be possible. Without seeing what the exact url that was visited (hover over the question mark), I wouldn't be able to say what happened exactly.

[rebelsrock06]

all i have is a screen shot i can hover over it now to see the results, i dont think they were in but if they werent how did it show them in ? ?

[rebelsrock06]

i just thought about it tho, even if i had the capapbility to see what the path/url the spider was veiwing, the admin CP weather your in or just loging in says the same URL

i seriously dont think the spider was in but if it wasnt all i was asking is how did it display it as IN


If youd like to see the screen shot let m know ill email it to you

[Freddie Bingham]

You are showing up as an unlicensed user.

[Steve Machol]

rebelsrock06, as we have asked before, you need to have the license owner add your email address to the Priority Support Forum in order to get support here. By the way what is the URL of this other Board?

[rebelsrock06]

Im talking to my Superadmin to get access to the members area and have my emaill added. I will PM you with the Board URL i dont want to openly post it here
