I think someone may be trying to hack a script of mine

Post by Rupe120 »

I think someone may be trying to hack a script of mine. The script uses only one variable 'xxx.php?locindex=123' but what I keep seeing showing up in the log files is 'xxx.php?locindex=123?locindex%3D123'. Is there anything harmful that can result from this URL. It seems to be ignoring everything after the second question mark.

the 'locindex%3D123' is the encoded version of 'index=123'

so you will probably find either your php scripts isnt working properly or someones browser doesnt like the coding 100%.

either way it shouldnt do anything. anything after the second ? should be ignored.
