I'm getting cheesed off with the pathetic attemps from hackers trying
to find this script.
Has anyone written a simple tasty version that deletes files?
I don't think a warning would help, or should I just keep quiet and
write my own??
(If I can find the time)

This script being cgi-bin/guestbook.pl?  Please put the body of your
message in the body of your message.

No.  Why would I want to respond to someone trying to hack my computer
by deleting my own files?

I'm not sure I follow. If they're pathetic attempts then why don't you
just put measures in place to stop them? A simple captcha for instance
will stop most bots.

I try not to eat my code. Empty calories.

Huh? You need to make connections between statements.

Now that I don't feel the least bit of sympathy for. We all have day
jobs, except one moron who seems to have disappeared of late. Have you
tried the NMS scripts?

"This script" being guestbook.pl.  Where did you get guestbook.pl from?

Deletes what files?

Write your own and come back here if you need help with specific components.

Just use mod_rewrite to return a forbidden, or to redirect the culprit to 
some other location.

They call in on your server. You really want to delete files on your 
server?
