I have been seeing those scans pretty nonstop since the outbreak of
Nimda. AT&T tells me that they have blocked Code Red, CRII, and Nimda
upstream, but I still get this traffic 15 times a day or so. Yesterday,
I had one IP hit my machine, looking for cmd.exe 27 times...

Hey,
        I've had multiple clients' Solaris boxes crashing this morning
from
what appears to be a Nimda-like 'scripts/..%5c../root.exe', and the
usual.
The same old unicode characters are present [%2f, %5c] but a new one has
appeared I haven't seen yet. This line:

        '
/msadc/..%5c../..%5c../..%5c/..Á../..Á../..Á../winnt/system32/cmd.exe
'

        appears a few times and I'm not quite sure what to make of it...

        Please keep in mind that came from a Solaris box, Apache log.
Whatever this (maybe) new bug is, it's blowing up these boxes left and
right...can't figure it out. They're all relatively new 1.3'ish
versions I
think.

        Anyone else seeing anything weird?
