It is an IIS WebDAV exploit from April 2003 (?), apache is not affected, its
just annoying :) (nachi and agobot use this exploit)

Don't be concerned, those are probably worms looking for IIS holes or the like. Since 
you're running Apache you're not vulnerable.

Hey all. A question from a heretofore unrevealed skulker :^>. Was this

with these & I'm concerned that they might be causing harm. thks

Very long URL with malice intended

2004-03-27 Thread Jack L. Stone
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

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.
