Just a snippet from a forum I visited long ago....

  "The requests for owssvr.dll and cltreq.asp are not a security attack.
They, like the favicon requests, are harmless. These requests have been
discussed in this forum before (see:
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum23/637.htm ). They are requested by
IE users who have a discussion forum object installed. the requests are
checking to see if your site has that a forum."

Subject: Anyone know this scan/tool?

I had a question regarding a scan on a webserver. This scan came from
two
different places and was short. They were looking for the same two files
as
you can see:

[Fri Jul 26 12:37:14 2002] [error] [client 216.220.27.240] File does not

exist: /usr/HTTPServer/htdocs/en_US/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll
[Fri Jul 26 12:37:24 2002] [error] [client 216.220.27.240] File does not

exist: /usr/HTTPServer/htdocs/en_US/MSOffice/cltreq.asp

[Sat Jul 27 18:52:22 2002] [error] [client 209.158.158.201] File does
not
exist: /usr/HTTPServer/htdocs/en_US/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll
[Sat Jul 27 18:52:22 2002] [error] [client 209.158.158.201] File does
not
exist: /usr/HTTPServer/htdocs/en_US/MSOffice/cltreq.asp

I did a Google search on the scan path with no results. Thanks for any
help!
