Strange requests in error log - (Apache, Linux)
Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2006 3:53 pm
I was looking through the error log of my server and see that there are some really strange URL errors, it's like the path for the requested document actually ends in some bits of code from text styles. There are a series of about 60 'File does not exist:' errors all from the same IP address, there are no other (Correct) page requests from this ip address, here are some sample lines of errors:
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/some_folder_on_my_site/e</some_folder_on_my_site/index.php
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/some_folder_on_my_site/ans-serif;
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/some_folder_on_my_site/t-family:
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/some_folder_on_my_site/}.middle
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/some_folder_on_my_site/S="verdana12White"
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/some_folder_on_my_site/Typewriter;
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/some_folder_on_my_site/ans-serif;
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/some_folder_on_my_site/olor:
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/some_folder_on_my_site/rdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/some_folder_on_my_site/ER=0
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/some_folder_on_my_site/FFFFF;}.grey
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/some_folder_on_my_site/OWNER
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/some_folder_on_my_site/0px;height:
I tried tracing the IP address where the requests came from but it seems it doesn't exist.
Anyone know what might be happening here?
Thanks
