    Have you verified the remote ends are not anonymous/proxies?

    Subject: New Attack / New Vulnerability?
    
    
    Is there a new vulnerability out?
    
    We monitor hundreds of financial IIS servers and have noticed many requests
    for the following:
    
    GET /_vti_bin/owssvr.dll 404
    
    These requests originate from multiple IP addresses, and hit different
    machines on
    different networks.
    
    Based on the traffic and number of entries I can guess these are not
    targeted attacks, but seem to be opportunistic
    in nature.
    
    Any information would be helpful.
    
    Sterling.
