I'm currently seeing this scenario :

1. the person get on the web site with his browser (ie6 on xp)
we see some valid GETs at the beginning

2. the person ran one of these tools :
    Nikto : http://www.cirt.net/code/nikto.shtml
    Whisker : http://sourceforge.net/projects/whisker/
    N-Stealth : http://www.nstalker.com/nstealth/
    Retina:  http://www.eeye.com/html/Products/Retina/
   another...

3. The person retry the website to get some URLs
we see some other valid GETs further

4. the person either ran another tools on specific URLs like
Paul just said



The source IP isnt listed in DShield or mynetwatchman

The server doesnt show any weird behavior, neither have
weird traffic going on

We are thinking URLScan did a good job :)

Thanks all for your replies

Hi all,
    i'd need help to identify an attack that happened on one
of our customer's web server yesterday, I put the log file
here :
http://www.pandore-design.com/security/2003-10-21-IIS-attack.t
xt

Looks like a vuln scanner that's designed to try a number of default
install mistakes to see if anything works.  The previous poster may be
correct that it was NIKTO.  Could also be whisker or stealth.
