Am running FBSD-4.8 with Apache/1.3.26 I posted this question first on the Apache.org list, but no reply. Thought I would try here even though slightly offtopic.
Within the past couple of weeks, the Apache logs have shown a new type of intrusion -- a very, very long URL request -- that finally receives a error 414. I don't know the purpose of this one, but doesn't appear well-intended. It comes late at night and from different IPs. One request even used one of my own IPs. So, the firewall won't help -- nor server deny. My question is what syntax can I add, if any, to my httpd.conf to redirect such requests..?? Here's a very small (about 1-5%) snippet of the nasty URL: 65.35.186.74 - - [26/Mar/2004:19:01:04 -0600] "SEARCH /\x90\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb 1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x0 2\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb 1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x0 2\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb 1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x0 2\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02 .... and on and on.... Any suggestions on a way to stop these much appreciated. Best regards, Jack L.
