[cobalt-users] brute force attempt

Subject: [cobalt-users] brute force attempt

Just a note, go ahead and add these jerks into your blocking software... I
tell ya, they're really trying... *grumpy sigh*
Can someone please tell me definitively *what* they are trying to do with
this command: usr/local/bin/whois 63.201.23.18 | mail -s

Before all of the patches and updates I *never* received this message. Now I
am literally getting SWAMPED with it. It's like I've pissed someone off and
have landed on some script kiddie list.
I now get people trying this command on my server at least ten times a day.
The first jerk shown below has been trying all day with slightly different
IPs.
But WHAT is he trying to do with this command?  I would try it myself to see
what it does but I don't want to get blocked from my own machine *L*.

-A very 'tired of this' CarrieB
(By the way, this is the exact verbage of the message I got, I didn't copy
and paste the same line so many times - he was pummelling me)
