First thing off, is that I never request these files. As I was browsing my error log I found that this occurs every now and then. Not that I do something strange in my Perl scripts.I also checked Apache's access.log,and the IP address that requests them is different then mine. I wander if this has anything to do with Perl's -w???
The worriying thing is that in access.log i have a line that reads 172.181.45.176 - - [31/Jan/2003:14:58:03 +0000] "GET /scripts/..%25%35%63../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.0" 404 298,which is I guess the Command Prompt!!! Could my computer be used as a spam generator??????
thanks
