Snortsters,

I have been getting gobs of OVERSIZE REQUST-URI DIRECTORY alerts lately, since about June 03. HTTPD would answer these requests with a code 200 and serve my index page. I didn't like that so I configured Apache to respond with a 400 by use of the directive LimitRequestFieldsize 2048. Since then these requests have been morphing whereby the continuation packet size has been growing and shrinking.

Am I just losing my marbles? What is this thing anyway? Do I have packets? Yes, lot's.

Thanks,

I realize this is just a little insignificant $HOME_NET I'm watching here. And that I probaly don't have to worry about this goonine tool poking around, but I am curious to what it is. Especially when the probes have increased fourfold in the last week. They generally all look much the same except in this portion of a continuation packet:

Does it have a name so I can google-it? I'd call it POKER-FACE because of all the Queen-King-Jack-Cards in its Data-Deck.

Please help, I'm getting straight flushed.

Thanks,
