I finally tracked their crack down to a PHP file that was uploaded under a previously vulnerable version. I had no idea it was there, but these evil files kept showing up despite my keeping the software updated.

These people are not hackers, but tiny-minded people trying to up search engine results and send out spam. If you want to know what a real hacker is, read 2600 Magazine.

Anyway, I deleted their exploit, then realized I was missing an opportunity, and replaced the page with this:
Middle finger cat

Now if they ever come from an un-banned IP address (yeah, I shut them out, and the rest of their ISP's network, too!), that's all they're going to get…

This is the highest license for ham radio in the US, and it was a lot of studying for me. I am excited to accomplish this in my life, and am currently researching a computer interface circuit for my radio that will allow me to work with digital modes like PSK31. Be looking for me on 20m PSK31 soon!
