    As it was written on Jul 29, thus Jon Zobrist spake unto incidents:

    Jon: Subject: new worm? or DDoS attack in progress
    Jon:
    Jon: Seems more and more clients are picking up the pace, as our proxy is
    Jon: getting more and more requests.
    Jon: in thttpd's logs it looks like
    Jon:
    Jon:
    Jon: IPADDRESS - - [29/Jul/2003:15:47:38 -0600] "UNKNOWN UNKNOWN" 400 0 ""
    Jon: ""
    Jon:
    Jon: each client seems to be making between 1 and 5 requests/second

    Is this log excerpt literal?
    Does it literally say "IPADDRESS" where the IP address should be?

    I cannot say Ive seen method of "UNKNOWN" for either Apache or IIS on my
    webservers, but I have seen entries such as this:

    155.247.166.60 - - [29/Jul/2003:00:13:18 -0500] "- - HTTP/1.0" 500 239

    Where 155.247.166.60 is our webserver proxy'ing to another webserver.

    Thanks
