I've done that to sms spammers. I don't know if it worked but I tried ten or so variations. I stopped receiving those messages. I was getting 10 a day at the time. I doubt I actually did any damage but I really hope I did.
- bouncycastle 8y agoHaha! That reminds me of when I once edited my web browser's user agent to something similar, but then I forgot about it. Later, when I was browsing, a lot of the websites just blank screened or returned 500 errors or displayed an SQL error. The other browser worked fine. I finally realized it was my user agent! So yes, a little SQL injection can come up in many unexpected situations as you may have observed :-) Another time, I set my user agent to an XSS string, just because I was testing something, but forgot to set back. A week later, I noticed that my colleague was baffled by a popup coming up each time he was browsing the logs. Oops, that was my XSS user agent... I'm guessing a lot of places don't sanitize logs. You'd be amazed how many places these things work :-)
