Hello All, I was just shifting through my apache access log file and found some weird entries that caught my attention. After a quick search on the security focus mailing list archives I was unable to come up with anything...so maybe someone out there could be of some help to explain to me what bug these users are trying to exploit. Here's the log entries: 216.133.249.14 - - [25/Mar/2002:03:28:09 -0500] "CONNECT 151.189.12.20:6669 HTTP/1.0" 401 469 66.140.25.157 - - [25/Mar/2002:03:32:05 -0500] "CONNECT 198.186.203.27:6667 HTTP/1.0" 401 469 130.228.230.161 - - [25/Mar/2002:23:20:56 -0500] "CONNECT 151.189.12.20:6669 HTTP/1.0" 401 469 130.228.230.161 - - [26/Mar/2002:03:30:48 -0500] "CONNECT 151.189.12.20:6669 HTTP/1.0" 401 469 193.109.122.5 - - [26/Mar/2002:09:46:19 -0500] "CONNECT 193.109.122.7:2048/ HTTP/1.1" 400 344 217.10.143.54 - - [26/Mar/2002:16:38:40 -0500] "CONNECT 151.189.12.20:6669 HTTP/1.0" 401 469 66.140.25.157 - - [26/Mar/2002:16:56:07 -0500] "CONNECT 198.186.203.27:6667 HTTP/1.0" 401 469 217.10.143.54 - - [27/Mar/2002:00:49:18 -0500] "CONNECT 151.189.12.20:6669 HTTP/1.0" 401 469 217.10.143.54 - - [27/Mar/2002:02:20:27 -0500] "CONNECT 151.189.12.20:6669 HTTP/1.0" 401 469 And then of course there were many, many other entries of the same sort. I understand the basics of what they are trying to accomplish (connecting to an outside source through my machine...in most of these cases, and IRC server)...but Ive never really seen this bug, except for the multiple hits over the last two/three weeks. If someone could care to elaborate, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
