Hi, the problem with this long logs is that maybe less experienced admins will have problems processing them with a little script befor they are fed to their favorite loganalizer. If I would be a hacker, I would take my chance now to try to intrude other systems, as chances are good the admins are in a kind of "the daily nimda tons of stuff again" state and tend to be less careful. mike On 24 Sep 2001, at 1:46, Matthias Andree wrote:
OTOH, claiming ignorance does not protect them either, particularly not if Nimda hits them while Code Red & Co. had so much unfortunate publicity recently. However, just discarding excessive logs is usually the most time-saving response if some virus plays with your longanimous Apache httpd ;)
