But - it's something new and it targeted Apache with these: /error/%5c%2e%2e%5clogs%5cinstall.log and /error/%5c%2e%2e%5cconf%5chttpd.conf It first hit here from dtag.de/mashock/t-dialin.net 80.142.110.85 - so if I had any say at all - I'd probably call it: .. 'detag.de.mashock' - or simply - the 'mashock' exploit.. However - if turns out to actually be something, you know, other than someone rattling server doors - whoever dreamt it up will take dis-honour as part of the source code and viral load. No word from anyone in authority - however someone at alt.apache.configuration has kindly tested what little I have against a his production *nix Apache and it hasn't breached his system (with the proviso that he isn't using an OEM configuration)..
