This morning, I found that there were hundreds of different yet similar 404's such as this one :

http ://www.adomain.com/AAIBQiLFEQBB493qIAGAwARub3JtUAUAAABSTqEAAFEKAAAAUykAAABUFAAAAEN.pz4.gdSKaRFR6_CBtCbLK3qTmQ--/Hangin_With_Newell.mp3

There is nothing even similar to this on the domain.

It comes from 66.142.137.150

Does anyone have any idea what this may be?

Thanks

The IP address belongs to Continental Airlines. "Hangin' with Newell" is a popular Jazz song, which would go along with the .mp3 file format.

Any chance someone is stashing MP3 files on your web server for use in a peer-to-peer file sharing network? If not, I'm wondering if someone mistyped a URL or an IP address to point file sharers to your web server...

Thanks EJ Honda, no nobody is hiding files and they were all different urls that created the 404's.

Perhaps just some form of weird DOS.

Thanks
