Oh I wasn't selling them short or anything. You were just talking "funny" and I was wondering how much of that was humor and how much was actually real.
MD5 encription isn't really the strongest. It only makes one "pass" and all and I've heard there are some hacks for it out there as it is.
Is this a vulnerability in PHP scripting language itself or just a vulnerability in TC's specific site scripts? If it's the latter, all the more reason to see if we can't get the latest version of our forum software set up. While that IP address is banned, it is only a temporary fix, but I'm sure you're aware of that. Really though if the guy doesn't travel much or isn't that motivated to keep bothering us, we're probably safe.
Thanks for the update!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
