    If you want some useful statistics and some basic reconnaissance
    information, I personally use www.alldas.de (this is nothing to do
    with us) because they banner check and nmap the host when it is added
    to the archive. That way you can usually hazard an educated guess on
    how the page was defaced. Since the majority of boxes are running
    IIS4/5, RDS / MSADC, Unicode and MS-Sql seem to be the favourite. I
    guess as soon as a working exploit for the ISAPI Printer issue in
    IIS5 makes a rather public appearance, the defacers worldwide will be
    using that too.

    - From what we've seen - Holland has been the favourite source of scans
    for FTP recently; RPC scans typically originate from Eastern Asia and
    South America.
