WordPress admin account cracking

by dbork on Dec.01, 2009, under New

Sans.org has posted an interesting cURL script for a distributed brute force attack against WordPress admin accounts. The script runs a loop until the “Log Out” phrase is returned by the server. The URL is http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=7663

Make sure that you secure your blog with strong passwords and change the default user name that you use for administration!
