Hi Guys,
Don't know whether this is the right list, but need to ask if others have
the same entries in their logs for the past number of months. Let me take a
step back, I maintain a number of networks on different IP ranges and they
are all being probed by what looks like a tool, or maybe it is the same
group/script. The originating computers range from open proxies to owned
boxes and there are two distinct patterns I've seen so far. The following
scan is a recent example where the root/password from x.x.x.x: 59 Time(s)
caught my attention the first time a while back, and still getting the same
scans on a daily basis:
