Comment Spam of the Day Award

By AndrewBoyd • Sep 6th, 2007 • Category: Australian Odd

…goes to this guy - this is what he put in as his comment author name:

Author : stevee’) UNION SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT user_pass FROM wp_users WHERE ID=1 AND IF(ORD(SUBSTRING(user_pass,10,1))>50,BENCHMARK(1200000,MD5(1337)),3)/*

The sad thing is, he’s not that good a coder - that said, if anyone out there is using a default wp_ prefix for their WordPress database tables, it might be worth thinking about the implications of this kind of comment-based attack.
