I run a HTTPd on my FreeBSD box at home as a convenient way to serve up files I wish to share with people. Since there is no real ‘content’ on the site, you would expect the only visits to be from myself & my friends. This would be a bad assumption. Lets look at the data so far this month:
root@bozo~# grep Nov /var/log/httpd-access.log \| wc -l 6184root@bozo~# grep Nov /var/log/httpd-access.log \| grep -vw 404 | grep -vw 400 | wc -l 125root@bozo~# grep Nov /var/log/httpd-access.log \| grep -vw 404 | grep -vw 400 | grep -v Slurp \| wc -l 23
23 legitimate accesses, 102 from Inktomi’s bot, and ~6k from NIMDA/CodeRed. Come on people in 210/8, get your act together!

You all run secure email clients which don’t execute VB scripts, don’t you?
