    07/04/2002 I saw 4,718 matches to this rule, from one source IP. :
    
    alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HTTP_SERVERS $HTTP_PORTS \
    (msg: "Apache chunked encoding exploit, AAAAA padding"; flags: A+; \
    content: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA";)
    
    [**] [1:0:0] Apache chunked encoding exploit, AAAAA padding [**]
    07/04-12:32:51.184478 216.136.145.169:1748 -> a.b.c.d:80
    TCP TTL:50 TOS:0x0 ID:12860 IpLen:20 DgmLen:1500 DF

    Very few alerts (4 a day) prior to this,. Due to complex reasons the vendor
    and sys admin
    decided not to upgrade httpd on this box. When I logged in, a httpd process
    was running at 99%, and had been for some time. This is a beefy,
    multi-processor server so there was no DoS. Webserving continued as normal.
    A restart of the httpd service restored normal operation.
