Got this the morning: Question is, are such attacks known and how likely are they? I highly doubt it, since there is nothing of use in this database anyway and it very much seems it was just sent using the contact form. Related to that- it might be best nevertheless to change database password, is there some documentation on how to do that properly?

Hey there, A friend's server (php, to be exact) is now going down rather frequently (still irregular but almost every week), and I am trying to get to the bottom of it. It's a serverpilot configured small to middle tier DO Ubuntu server, running php 7 on nginx, https only, (with a letsencrypt certificate added manually by me, not via serverpilot) When looking through the various log files I found a couple of things I couldn't place, can you guys make anything of this? This happens multiple times a day (form different IPs) and goes on for 40-50 pings: 200.8.223.47 - - [07/Mar/2017:01:02:27 +0100] "POST / HTTP/1.0" 301 229 200.8.223.47 - - [07/Mar/2017:01:03:13 +0100] "POST / HTTP/1.0" 301 229 200.8.223.47 - - [07/Mar/2017:01:03:59 +0100] "POST / HTTP/1.0" 301 229 200.8.223.47 - - [07/Mar/2017:01:04:45 +0100] "POST / HTTP/1.0" 301 229 200.8.223.47 - - [07/Mar/2017:01:05:32 +0100] "POST / HTTP/1.0" 301 229 200.8.223.47 - - [07/Mar/2017:01:06:19 +0100] "POST / HTTP/1.0" 301 229 200.8.223.47 - - [07/Mar/2017:01:07:05 +0100] "POST / HTTP/1.0" 301 229 .... Is this suspicious? (nobody was editing the site at this time) And these here come in 2-10 sec intervals, usually in 2-3 minute bursts, from different IPs, sometimes multiple times a day, sometimes followed by 30-40 "POST" commands 86.106.157.213 - - [06/Mar/2017:16:40:53 +0100] "GET /wp-login.php HTTP/1.0" 301 245 86.106.157.213 - - [06/Mar/2017:16:40:58 +0100] "GET /wp-login.php HTTP/1.0" 301 245 86.106.157.213 - - [06/Mar/2017:16:41:03 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 301 233 While this should by no means get the server to it's knees (or should it?) this is not normal, right? Cheers folks!

So this is basically a recreation of a menu tutorial from W3Bits, tweaked to include the Advanced checkbox hack. Demo. Even the Advanced hack itself was tweaked: apparently this bit is causing issues with Safari, so I removed it: @-webkit-keyframes bugfix { from {padding:0;} to {padding:0;} }I found this particular configuration to work quite nicely. A previous menu I tried had a problem with the menu items staying expanded between media query breakpoints, when resizing the browser. Below is the CSS for the menu. You will notice that it is mobile-first: /* Menu from http://w3bits.com/css-responsive-nav-menu/ */ /* Note: the tutorial code is slightly different from the demo code */ .cf:after { /* micro clearfix */ content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } body { -webkit-animation: bugfix infinite 1s; } #mainMenu { margin-bottom: 2em; } #mainMenu ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; } #mainMenu .main-menu { display: none; } #tm:checked + .main-menu { display: block; } #mainMenu input[type="checkbox"], #mainMenu ul span.drop-icon { display: none; } #mainMenu li, #toggle-menu, #mainMenu .sub-menu { border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .05); } #mainMenu li, #toggle-menu { border-width: 0 0 1px; } #mainMenu .sub-menu { background-color: #444; border-width: 1px 1px 0; margin: 0 1em; } #mainMenu .sub-menu li:last-child { border-width: 0; } #mainMenu li, #toggle-menu, #mainMenu a { position: relative; display: block; color: white; text-shadow: 1px 1px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, .125); } #mainMenu, #toggle-menu { background-color: #09c; } #toggle-menu, #mainMenu a { padding: 1em 1.5em; } #mainMenu a { transition: all .125s ease-in-out; -webkit-transition: all .125s ease-in-out; } #mainMenu a:hover { background-color: white; color: #09c; } #mainMenu .sub-menu { display: none; } #mainMenu input[type="checkbox"]:checked + .sub-menu { display: block; } #mainMenu .sub-menu a:hover { color: #444; } #toggle-menu .drop-icon, #mainMenu li label.drop-icon { position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } #mainMenu label.drop-icon, #toggle-menu span.drop-icon { padding: 1em; font-size: 1em; text-align: center; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .125); text-shadow: 0 0 0 transparent; color: rgba(255, 255, 255, .75); } label { cursor: pointer; user-select: none; } @media only screen and (max-width: 64em) and (min-width: 52.01em) { #mainMenu li { width: 33.333%; } #mainMenu .sub-menu li { width: auto; } } @media only screen and (min-width: 52em) { #mainMenu .main-menu { display: block; } #toggle-menu, #mainMenu label.drop-icon { display: none; } #mainMenu ul span.drop-icon { display: inline-block; } #mainMenu li { float: left; border-width: 0 1px 0 0; } #mainMenu .sub-menu li { float: none; } #mainMenu .sub-menu { border-width: 0; margin: 0; position: absolute; top: 100%; left: 0; width: 12em; z-index: 3000; } #mainMenu .sub-menu, #mainMenu input[type="checkbox"]:checked + .sub-menu { display: none; } #mainMenu .sub-menu li { border-width: 0 0 1px; } #mainMenu .sub-menu .sub-menu { top: 0; left: 100%; } #mainMenu li:hover > input[type="checkbox"] + .sub-menu { display: block; } }Below is the markup outputted using mindplay.dk's method. I found it impossible to output with MarkupSimpleNavigation or MenuBuilder. The homepage is added as the first top-level item. Notice the onclicks that make it work on iOS < 6.0. The clearfix class cf for the top ul is important. Otherwise the element will have no height (got bitten by this..). <nav id="mainMenu"> <label for='tm' id='toggle-menu' onclick>Navigation <span class='drop-icon'>▼</span></label> <input id='tm' type='checkbox'> <ul class='main-menu cf'> <?php /** * Recursive traverse and visit every child in a sub-tree of Pages. * * @param Page $parent root Page from which to traverse * @param callable $enter function to call upon visiting a child Page * @param callable|null $exit function to call after visiting a child Page (and all of it's children) * * From mindplay.dk */ echo '<li><a href="' . $pages->get(1)->url . '">Home</a></li>'; function visit(Page $parent, $enter, $exit=null) { foreach ($parent->children() as $child) { call_user_func($enter, $child); if ($child->numChildren > 0) { visit($child, $enter, $exit); } if ($exit) { call_user_func($exit, $child); } } } visit( $pages->get(1) , function(Page $page) { echo '<li><a href="' . $page->url . '">' . $page->title; if ($page->numChildren > 0) { echo '<span class="drop-icon">▼</span> <label title="Toggle Drop-down" class="drop-icon" for="' . $page->name . '" onclick>▼</label> </a> <input type="checkbox" id="' . $page->name . '"><ul class="sub-menu">'; } else { echo '</a>'; } } , function(Page $page) { if ($page->numChildren > 0) { echo '</ul>'; } echo '</li>'; } ); ?> </ul> </nav>Edit: fixed the end part, thanks er314.
