In reply to: Admin username is easily foundPersonally, I wouldn’t use an easily determinable name for an admin account, I guess that’s preference. Apart from which I wouldn’t setup any wordpress install to use actual usernames in link URIs. Anyway, even Worpdress themselves suggest changing the admin name from admin – http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress#Security_through_obscurity

In reply to: Admin username is easily foundThanks very much for the link, we have a custom brute force detection script which caught this occurance, but we’ll take a further look at that one. It was the easy with which usernames/nicknames could be found which was a surprise. Strikes me as a flaw in WordPress.

In reply to: Hairy Automattic crawlerReally interesting Evan, Chief Dog Walker 😀 Thanks very much for your direct reply! Apart from “The Automattic Analytics Crawler is a utility we use to discover how people use WordPress.” May I ask, what data do you collect and how do you use it, and is the data made available to anyone outside of wordpress? Sounds funny but, did you fix the 404 errors on your ‘crawling’?

In reply to: Hairy Automattic crawlerSame thing about 15 minutes ago, generating 404s all over the place, blocked with mod_security 😉
Note the bad spelling, but the originating IP address: 72.233.119.245 resolves to a server provided by Softlayer, to whom wordpress.com also resolves, so who knows?
