Afwas,
I appreciate your kind response/advice. In effect I blocked that offending IP address (and 2 others) using iptables. Additionally, I notified the pertinent hosting providers about these crackers.
Below is the corresponding log entry in the Apache error.log file (for informational purposes):
[Sat Aug 23 13:04:31 2008] [error] [client 65.98.70.18] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bad_request_die() in [snip]/blog/inc/_
main.inc.php on line 89

Thank you for reinforcing the notion that b2evolution can withstand these attacks. On the other hand, I would be interested in knowing what do you do about the incessant poking of your site(s) by these skiddies, ¥åßßå.
I have noticed that these international malicious short interval hits (among others) against my site(s) have increased, and the list of blocked IPs is increasing in my servers' iptables as a direct response to the problem.
How do you handle the annoyance and bandwidth resource misuse by these s(cript)kiddies, as well as site/blog scrapers that drill into your site/blog for several minutes taking with them your site/blog content??? I have had a couple of IPs, during the last month, that have done the latter: 82.80.249.147 and 82.80.249.143
Regards.
Block the IP 65.98.70.18 in your .htaccess file. Please search Google on how to do that.
I don't believe anything actually happened. They tried to redirect your site. B2evolution is well protected against attacks like these.
Good luck
