My apache is receiving a lot of iis attacks too :-)
I have seen changes or additions to the GET request to exploit IIS.
Sad to say, some of the iis servers that are compromised is
not well taken cared of the owner of that box due to
zero knowledge about it.

-> Hey,
->      I've had multiple clients' Solaris boxes crashing this morning
-> from
-> what appears to be a Nimda-like 'scripts/..%5c../root.exe', and the
-> usual.
-> The same old unicode characters are present [%2f, %5c] but a

-> /msadc/..%5c../..%5c../..%5c/..Á../..Á../..Á../winnt/syste
-> m32/cmd.exe
-> '
-> 
->      appears a few times and I'm not quite sure what to make of it...
-> 
->      Please keep in mind that came from a Solaris box, Apache log.
-> Whatever this (maybe) new bug is, it's blowing up these 
-> boxes left and
-> right...can't figure it out.  They're all relatively new 1.3'ish
-> versions I
-> think.
-> 
->      Anyone else seeing anything weird?
