Re: New awstats.pl vulnerability?

Here are some additional IPs and some analysis of the IPs in question.
 Looks like very few of the scanning IPs are running awstats, but many
are legitimate business running old apache versions.  I am guessing
they didn't self install an awstats scanner...

Yeah, me too.  They just started up.  I haven't seen any awstats.pl
requests since 2010-05-18, and now I've gotten batches of them, since
about 2011-11-22, but heavier since the start of December.
