  If your server is properly configured (and therefore isn't responding to
the
  attack) you can safely ignore it. There are plenty of automated script
  attacks like this, and trying to track them down and make them stop is
  probably more trouble than it's worth in most cases. The attack is very
  likely coming from an already-infected host, rather than directly from an
  attacker.

Re: Simple log question...

2003-12-08 Thread Marlon Moyer
This looks like nimda or one of the many variants.  So yes, you are 
being attacked, but if you're patched up, it really shouldn't affect 
anything.  You could ban the ip at your firewall, but if there's a 
chance you'll ban valid traffic as well.
