Since breaking the search box on groovymother a couple of weeks ago, I’ve spotted a lot of XSS attempts in my logs. The phrase “a912rtag9” in particular seems to appear a lot, and it looks like it’s a bot spidering search boxes across the internet. Anyone know its origin? UPDATED TO ADD: Looks like it’s Yahoo’s Slurp Bot making these requests! Also, the Googlebot is searching for “a912rtag6”. (And yes, I’ve verified the IP addresses) How odd!
