It's very diffacult to track them down because they are using fake IPs, but I am not a expert in this area. You also can't block them because all those IPs are fake.

I get those too, but they are trying to access non-existant cgi-bin files. (at least in my case...) The site in question has no cgi-bin folder!

I'm curious. How do you know they are fake?

Because they don't all ask for the same file, I've always assumed they are zombied machines. If they were fake, I would assume there would be more requests for the same file.

Oh. I thought you were saying that the IP numbers themselves were fake.

DSheilds a good idea.Ive also just forwarded them to my server to see if they can find the reverse path. Man can see why they say hacks and viruses cost the economy so much.I'm spending hours chasing spectres and log anomolies,and less time maintaining and building my site.
