Something I've noticed in our Apache logs - 70% of the hits (maybe 20 so
far) are from cable modem and adsl style addresses (according to the dig
data). Notably @home and mediaone.
I've attempted to mail some places that their server is infected. Of 5
mails sent, 3 bounced as undeliverable to webmaster@domain. One
actually routed through two aliases before bouncing!
Oh well, the Apache server is immune, the IIS server is patched, but
there are no hits in its logs (though there were plenty for the cmd.exe
exploit).
As a side note, our address block is in the 12.x.x.x range.. perhaps
AT&T isn't counted as a good target?
