[users@httpd] strange hits being logged -Worm?

Hello,

I have recently started seeing these lines of code repeated in my log files
for each virtual host. Is this a worm or some other attack on my server?

If so, what is the best way to protect the server from attack?

John

Given that the signatures change with every new worm, I see little point in
putting them into the Apache FAQ.  It's not related to Apache, and I'm not
sure who would volunteer to keep the list up to date :)

My opinion is that the answers to these questions are readily found by
searching Google, the list archives, or a security-oriented site such as
CERT or Bugtraq.  With that much duplication already, adding them to the
FAQ doesn't seem worthwhile...

all of the attacks listed (which I have snipped for readability's sake) are 
of the nimda/code red variety.  Assuming you are running Apache (what with 
posting to this list, and all :) there is absolutely nothing you need to 
do, to be protected... only IIS is vulnerable to those attacks.

Question to the list in general: I know there are FAQs on Apache's site, 
might this be added to them?  There seem to have been a LOT of question 
about it, recently...

Hi!!

code red code red call the marines!!!

It only affects (unpatched) IIS systems... no need to worry.

If you look through the archives, you'll find several users that have posted
their settings to ignore these entries or tu dump them in another file.

Hello,

I have recently started seeing these lines of code repeated in my log files
for each virtual host. Is this a worm or some other attack on my server?

If so, what is the best way to protect the server from attack?
