Mulling Security

I find it fascinating how people arrive at a lowly blog with very little traffic. The short answer is that most visitors arrive via search terms.

Some of the search terms are predictable based on past blog entries. By far the most popular search engine queries leading to www.mullingsecurity.com are variations of the following:

• q=ddabx.dll (interesting since the malware is 2+ years old)
  
• q=php+mail+injection (a classic still in use by spammers and yes they come here for tips)
  
• q=omfg.class (a really old java exploit)

And then there are the really interesting queries that lead here.!

• http://search.live.com/result.aspx?q=adult
• http://search.live.com/result.aspx?q=mercedes
• http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=DOOR+BADGE+SECURITY
• http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=door+security+posts
• http://www.google.com.au/search?q=what+ports+do+i+need+to+open+on+firewall+for+stunnel
• http://www.google.com/search?q=+Matt+Richard+security
• http://www.google.com/search?q=gmail+body+location+bar
• http://www.google.com/search?q=%2B%22card+cvv2%22+%2Bphishing
• http://www.google.com/search?q=howto+remote+exploit+127.0.0.1
• http://www.google.com/search?q=squid+botnet+domain

I conclude the following:

1. MSN Live search really sucks.
2. There are people exploiting localhost remotely.
   
3. Having random security words on the same page gets you hits from Google.
