What are we looking at here? I don't quite understand, though I gather these are injection attack attempts.

Basically they're trying to run commands on the database by submitting "links" to shorten. The server adds these links to the database using a command like so:

INSERT INTO private.shortens (key, url) VALUES (asdf123, USER INPUT HERE)

The idea is to replace USER INPUT with something that would create another SQL code statement, for example something that would delete the database (which would wreak havoc on the service)

SQL injection!

Thank you for all you do Techied! I understand you are one of the engineers of the site. Godspeed!

So many devs and other IT ppl want to help this glorious site stay strong. How can we help?! I would love the ability to donate time or money to the sites operation.

Thank you for your praise!

I am not a dev of .Win (although I have offered my time), but I am the sole person behind maga.host

Neither of the sites are monetized and for the time being they remain that way. I know that .Win are looking for frontend devs to help them but if you don't have technical knowledge the best way you can help is to spread the word! The_Donald has moved!
