Launched a rather lame hacking attempt at my website today; first asking for "wp-login.php", then for "administrator/index.php", then for "admin.php", then for "bitrix/admin/index.php" (ah yes! as far as I'm concerned, "bitrix" is a first ever), then for "admin/login.php", then spimply for "admin", and then, quite humbly, for "user" ... then gave it up. Script kiddy, anyone?
So far they've tried to login to WordPress as "admin" 20 times in the past hour. Too bad that user doesn't even exist...
Definitely a bot in the WP DDOS hack scheme. Trying to access dublab.com after I blocked a number of IPs that were trying to crack TimThumb

- Why Can't I See The Exact Address?
DNSBL* - is a list of IP addresses published through the Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) either as a zone file that can be used by DNS server software, or as a live DNS zone that can be queried in real-time. DNSBLs are most often used to publish the addresses of computers or networks linked to spamming; most mail server software can be configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from a site listed on one or more such lists.
WHOIS** - is a query/response protocol that is widely used for querying databases in order to determine the registrant or assignee of Internet resources, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system number. WHOIS lookups were traditionally performed with a command line interface application, and network administrators predominantly still use this method, but many simplified web-based tools exist. WHOIS services are typically communicated using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Servers listen to requests on the well-known port number 43.
** Approximate Geographic Location - This is NOT the exact geographical location of the person/organization with the given IP address. However, this should still give you a good idea about the area/region where this person/orgranization is located.
