So somebody is really convinced that there is an SQL-injection vulnerability lurking in the LWN login form, and they have been employing a small botnet in a determined effort to find it. I'm not hugely worried about the attack, but I still find this kind of thing annoying.

@archiloque @corbet Not impossible to do, buy also not necessary convenient to make a website which runs in subscriptions, ie. content exclusive to logged in users, work without a database.

vathpela@infosec.exchange@corbet @archiloque we have read the LWN articles about Awk and we know better than to believe this would be primitive.
