Hey, so today I wanted to take a look at the traffic both the blog and the pentest directory project are receiving and, as you may have already noticed, since I’m using Google Analytics for keeping track of traffic stats I found some interesting data that I wanted to share with you.

I’m analyzing 7,167 unique surfers, ranging from January 1st 2008 to yesterday, April 26th 2008.

Most of them, 2.687 connected using IPs from the US. 623 came from the UK and in third place is India, with 417. We then have several more different countries.

From the ~7100 surfers, the 63.61% (4559) used FireFox as a browser, and in second place with 29.15% comes Internet Explorer. 245 used Opera, 114 Safari, 109 Mozilla, 18 Konqueror, 9 Camino, 7 Mozilla compatible Agent, 9 Avant Go.

So most of them use Firefox, that’s nice. And take a look at the following:

82.41% used Microsoft Windows, that’s 5,906 users! Then comes Linux with 831, Macintosh with 370. We have 18 iPhone users! 3 used the iPod, and a couple more.

And moving on to the Adobe/Macromedia Flash plugin version installed:

28.92% (2,073) had 9.0.r115  - 26.58% had 9.0 - and so on with decreasing versions.. we get to a point where:

76 users had version 6.0 installed! and several different old versions of 9.0 including r28, r45, r47, etc.

I would say - interesting. Nothing new yeah but interesting. Let’s update the Flash plugin.

And then you wonder why google analytics takes so much time to load.. 

Cheers
