Hello everybody,

I have some strange entries in my apache access log:

Code:

222.208.183.24 - - [01/Mar/2006:12:28:29 +0100] "GET http://ulinkjs.tom.com/ulink_02.js HTTP/1.1" 404 5138

Entry in the error log:

Code:

[Wed Mar 01 12:27:58 2006] [error] [client 222.208.183.24] Invalid URI in request GET HTTP/1.1

The problem is, that http://ulinkjs.tom.com is not a domain hosted by my severs, nor points ulinkjs.tom.com to my ip address. So maybe someone is using telnet and requests this site... but why (the webserver is giving a not found answer - why should this action be useful for an attacker??)?

Does somebody know what's going on here?

Thanks

.

Perhaps somebody tests if your server can be used as a proxy. I've got such requests too, but as long as apache returns a fault code it doesn't make me headache Regards, Sino _________________ Help to answer the unanswered
