I was talking to Brian earlier, and he linked me to a phpBB he hosted a while back. He hosted it so we could test security on a PHP Bulletin Board. He linked me to a part of the panel that shows users. We were alarmed to see there were 47 or so members. When we set up the board, there were only two of us as members. What were those 45 or so members? ROBOTS!!! Yes, some computer that is a digital robot found its way to Brian’s forum that he hosted. The link of which no one has ever known besides him or I. This means there are bots that scour the internet for forums, then register for those forums, or either one of us had a virus. And neither of us have had a virus. So these webcrawlers register to your forum. One could only imagine what they do from there. My assumption is these bots are ran by companys so they could gather information about the general public. These robots will be able to find out a persons hobbies. Have a person on a bulletin board post their address for some reason. Then have him post his name at some given time. My bet is that he’d get some junkmail about whatever the forum was about, whether it be an automotive or guitar forum, for example. This is only my guess. What do you think the robots are up to?
