<br><tt><font size=2>Hi<br>
<br>
We appear to have a botnet trying to target one of our application servers,
by posting GETs referencing URI paths like:<br>
<br>
../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd<br>
../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00<br>
../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../proc/self/environ<br>
../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../proc/self/environ%00<br>
../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../proc/self/environ<br>
<br>
The addresses that the requests have come from so far, are listed at the
end of the email. Is there any specific action we can take to stop the
activity, or should we just put up with it. Blocking /24 IP address blocks
wouldn't appear to be an effective strategy.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
Cheers, Shane<br>
