I'm running apache on my linux box at home (comcast cable connection)
and my access_log is full of lines like this:

12.231.0.23 - - [12/Nov/2003:19:40:39 -0800] "GET /MSADC/root.exe?/c+dir
HTTP/1.0" 404 358 "-" "-"
12.231.0.23 - - [12/Nov/2003:19:40:54 -0800] "GET
/scripts/..%%35%63../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.0" 400 372 "-"
"-"

A quick search on google tells me this is either nimda or code red
trying to exploit IIS, and that I should notify the ISP that owns the
address where these are coming from.  Sounds like a good idea to me, but
I'm not seeing anything on the comcast webpage (do a whois on the
address and it's for sure a comcast one) where I can call or email this
sort of thing in.  Anybody here done that before?  Is it worth the
trouble?

Also, anyone know a good way to expunge this stuff from my log files so
I can see the more interesting information there?

Thanks,

Bryan
