Author Strange message.

Dear readers,

In my access logfile I found a strange extremely long message tha starts with
"chello213047090170.3.14.vie.surfer.at - - [24/Nov/2004:12:23:12 +0100]
"SEARCH /\x90\x02\xb1\"

and ends with:

" \x90\x90\x90\x0\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\
x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\
x90\x90\x90\x90 414 338 "-" "-"

Does anyone know what it is and if I should do something about it?

With kind regards,

Peter Terpstra

Is a very well-know Microsoft worm/virus/crap.
You can configure your apache to ignore the request and not logging them,
and/or add the ip address to your firewall. A simple search on the net or
on this very same newsgroup would have told you so.

My logs are packed with it. Still have to figure out how to stop apache
logging them.
The originating ip's are different every time (no use blocking them), but
they all come from Sweden and Austria (and a few from Korea)....
Is there a connection between the ip from my server and the ip's from the
'attacking' machines? Both begin with 213.?

Conditional Logging is your friend. And the documentation too.
