HELP ! very strange apache logs !


my apache2 access log....

Quote:
{IP ADDRESS} - - [15/Sep/2004:23:09:10 +0100] "SEARCH /\x90\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02
but the (is it hexidecimal ?) code coes on and on for pages !
what us this !

was some1 trying to exploit my box ! ?

the access error log shows...

Quote:
[Wed Sep 15 23:09:10 2004] [error] [client (SAME IP ADDRESS)] request failed: URI too long (longer than 8190)
im running apache2.0.50

i assume they did not suceed in the exploit ?
otherwise they would have removed or fixed the logs ?


ALSO !!!!
im using the translucent windows patchfor KDE (unstable)
and as a result somtimes X restarts.. while it was doing this, i tried to get into a second login console (ctrl+alt+F2) there ALL dead... blank screens... even F1.

its likes like these i wish i had updated my tripwwire database !

i get those all the time. i think they are trying for buffer overflows on windoze boxes. so far they have been harmless on my server except for the annoyance and adding to the log.
