Have many others noticed a slow, but accelerating,
increase in the amount of WebDAV supporting verbs
getting thrown at their IIS servers ?
Over the past 4 to 6 months I have watched this, starting
with an almost non-existent amount, but now in the past
month it seems to have really accelerated.

While I have this disabled at the IIS level, and also
crippled at the registry level, if the growth continues
the amount may get to be non-negligable in a while.

Any ideas on what probe tool may have been updated
to examine for these exploit vectors ?

TIA,

My traffic for such request is going down as compare when the exploits is in
it early stage. now, not much, about the same for codered. and urlscan is
blocking all these.

Interesting Bernard,
Just the reverse of what I have been seeing. On the older IIS the
URLscan logs have been steadily increasing, from scattered IPs,
over the past month or so, more noticable in recent weeks.

Weird, I have few machines in Ireland and Hong kong. both of them looks ok..
main traffic will be '../winnt/system32/cmd.exe' .. nothing else.
