Script kiddies.. so inefficient

Wouldn't it be quicker and easier to query the server first? It's not windows.. such a waste of bandwidth.. (probably not their own anyway, but still).

We have these too, at quite regular intervals. Had to laugh first time I saw it. Best was one week-end where they tried every three hours or so.

But I have seen people try out even more stupid things. Especially nice when the 'Script Kiddies' don't using IP-masquerading or some-such mechanism.

Those log entries are most like the result of a visit from your friendly neighborhood Nimda worm variant. No script kiddies at all.

Hehe, I get these all the time. Probably a worm as joat says, or a bot that's scanning the web for vulnerable servers.

What blows my mind is that there are still people out there who haven't patched their systems that are STILL infected with nimda. Though the probes have slowed down for me a bit lately. I actually got a code red one just yesterday.

I still see at least one probe a day from others within the Verizon DSL netblock. *sigh*

You have to love those children who just have to run a web server from home...


bash-2.05a$ nslookup 24.91.103.152
Server: athena.int.no.la.us.xxx-xxx.xxx
Address: 10.0.0.1

It's so easy, anyone can just fire up web services on their XP box... >:|

Some people need to be schooled (yeah, I know, before you say anything) in proper webserver software.... *cough* Apache *cough*

Did you refer the little bugger's IP and all the logs to ATT Abuse?

-J

Yep - just Nimda making the rounds. Instead of seeing those in my logs over and over again, I just chose to alias root.exe to a script that disallows further access to the webserver.

Would it make sense to fake a success? Perhaps this could be used to hinder further proceedings? Or what would happen if you give it a server redirect to itself? Self-Attack??? >:)

Hey! I'm running a webserver from home. I'm not sure if my ISP likes it, but meh. Glad someone said nimda, I've been reporting the buggers.

I think the difference is that I'm running OpenBSD. I refuse to run A pachy server, instead thttpd works fine. 1-800-COMCAST... here I go again.
