Do I take it that these things are just trying to log in using some guessed password(s) ? Out of interest, do we have any idea what these opportunistic passwords might be ?
As far as I have heared this is an 0day "exploit" which does nothing but trying to bruteforce some accounts like "admin" "test" and so on with passwords like "test" "1234" and i dont know what. Seems to be not too serious because noone actually has those account in real life. ;) Best wishes, Christian -- Christian Fromme chris at kaner.shacknet.nu PGP-Pubkey: http://www.informatik.fh-wiesbaden.de/~cfrom001/pgp/index.html
