I see the following in my Apache web logs after each Nessus scan:-

GET GET %2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/windows/win.ini
GET GET %2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/winnt/win.ini

I think that this duplication of GET is rather an odd construct
and was wondering a) Is this intentional, if so what does it show?
or b) is this an error in the writing of the Nessus rule?


Is this a duplicate? Either of them would be likely places to look for
this file but it is dependend on your installation and OS (version).
