[largish snip]

It's likely that other readers have seen these problems as well.

Yes actually, all of our webservers (on different /24's, i might add)
recieved this scan:

fsuj83.rz.uni-jena.de - - [16/Mar/2000:20:10:56 -0600] "POST
/cgi-bin/phf?Qname=x%0a/bin/sh+-s%0a HTTP/1.0" 404 205

of course, it wasnt there, but it still set off a few alarms =)

(isp was unresponsive, of course, if anyone has a good contact i'd
appreciate it)

As for that udel machine, I remember a guy a used to know on IRC who
always used it, but he got raided by the FBI last June I
believe in that
big gH thing though =P
