Actually it would appear he is trying to learn web scripting (cgi, perl, java). Just check out his unprotected directory to see his work (mostly hello world type programs and scripts designed to show your details like IP and referer).

Of particular use/interest is this

Grumble. I''d much rather see an interesting database full of vaporware and dead software, hardware and otherwise projects.

And that was also what I expected when I saw the subject of this thread...

Omg, I accidently left my finger resting on the F5 key and now he has 66 visitors! He must think that Satan himself visited it

When I found that counter the value was at 1 (I was the first hit), right now its at 77. Guess we get to see a rough guess of how many people visit the inside of his site. Maybe someone should rig up a script to keep loading the counter, he'll freak when he sees his counter *that is unlisted* showing something like 1000+ hits.

EDIT: Now at 95, guess alot of people are visiting

Well, let's put it up multiple times (I hope it works):

Heh, of course his ''counter'' was 1 when you first visited it, it didn''t existed at that point. In fact, you created it by visting the URL... The string ''unique_id'' was just an example, and meant to be replaced by his own ID. I just created a new counter on his server, named ''counter'', and set it to an interesting value... If he sees this one, he''ll get a heart attack...

Out of curiosity, how do you "protect" a directory? I have a web site I''m building, and I''d be interested to know these things...would you have to just put a index.html there? or is there something else you can do?

index.html is fine. Basically the server only sends a directory listing if there is no index.* file to send and if it has been configured to use a directory listing as default (most servers are). There are exploits to get past this but most involve exploiting weaknesses in standard cgi scripts hosted on the site (cgi-test for instance).

The easiest way:


you@server:~$ chmod 700 /some/directory


you@server:~$ chmod 000 /some/directory

If you're really serious

. Apache allows you to disable all directory listings in httpd.conf also.
