RE: FTP scans from wanadoo.fr

["Barber, Chris" <cbarber () criticalIP com>]

I have just looked at the few samples that have appeared here but it also
looks as if the last 6 digits (exclude the "p") may also be a time HHMMSS
and the "p" might indicate PM.

There's a distinct pattern to these scans from wanadoo. Looking through some

logs (I allow anonymous login but with read-only access on one box). I've 
noticed the following:
the anonymous login password: frequently [A-Z]gpuser () home com
an attempt to cd to some directories: /ftproot, /wwwroot, /_vti_bin, 
/_vti_cnf, /cgi-bin, amongst others: the pattern varies, but all requests 
take place within a second, so it's definitely scripted. This is followed by

an attempt to create a number of directories with a name such as
011203022432p, where the first 6 digits are YYMMDD.

Anyone recognise the tool?

Cheers
john
