Looks like some sort of shellbot wanting to connect to an IRC channel #abusers on abuser.hacked.in:8080.
I've been seeing occaisonal probes for Mambo's index.php on and off for a while now - the first part is similar to http://nz-honeynet.org/papers/mambo-exploit-obfuscated.pdf but the payloads are slightly different, though it always seems to end up with an IRC bot of some kind.
I usually see them coupled with scans for coppermine and other remote include issues, plus xmlrpc probes.
I think you're seeing an attempt to exploit issue#3 here - http://secunia.com/advisories/18935/
cheers, Jamie
Since Thursday night I'm seeing a high volume of scans on different web servers for possibly the following vulns:
http://secunia.com/advisories/14337/ http://www.osvdb.org/displayvuln.php?osvdb_id=10180
However, they say the problem is on function.php and I'm seeing them on index.php. Can anyone confirm that?
Some log samples:
