Since changing my DB to MySQL I have suffered several SPAM attacks at night, but what is strange is the posts appear to be from existing members.

Have there been any other instances of this ?

What should I look for in the server log's for SQL injection (if it came in this way ?)

Thanks

Any specific user id?

Believe me, if they were using SQL Injection, you would get a lot more than spam.

But what is their member ID? We ask because in an older version of the forum there was an odd bug where under certain specific conditions you could post under member ID #2.

It was member 4.

Anyway, going through server logs there are some SQL entries from China -

id=2633%20'%20and%20exists%20(select%20*%20from%20sysobjects)%20and%20''='|18|80040e37|[MySQL][ODBC_3.51_Driver][mysqld-5.0.51b-community-nt]Table_'resortdb.sysobjects'_doesn't_exist

And lots of other stuff

IP of 123.5.92.47 if anyone else would like to ban it

That injection thing is for SQL Server, won't work with MySQL.

What Snitz version are you using?

I would highly recommend an upgrade.

There is a bug fix to avoid spamming like that, which likely is connected to the lost of app variable values. You may try that.

Anon, I wish I could. I have custom coded so much into the site, it would be a nightmare to upgrade

I understand completely. In the spirit of following the advice I've given since 3.4.07 has been released, I've been in the process of re-doing a ton of customizations so I can get a handful of sites up to the 3.4.07 goodness. At some point you just have to bite the bullet and move on up.

Thanks, I have put the code in and will see how things go.

To AnonJr - I know I should, I just guess I cant face it and really down have the time as my SEO business is really picking up now and I have very little time as it is - One day - Or maybe I will just offer the job out for a princely sum :-(

I guess I'd rather have the problem of too much business than too much spare time.

What customizations are we talking about?
