got this as a UA in the logs:

Mozilla/4.0 ::ELNSB50::000041100320025803140151000000000502000800000000

Is this some kind of hacking attempt or something?

Came from here:

38.26.130.105

I doubt [google.com] that it's a hacking attempt. Probably some ISP supplied/modified browser.

It sure does mess up my table structure.
Maybe its a super secret tracking method ;)

I have one guy who frequents my site...he sticks out like a sore thumb cuz the referrer is always [unknownorigin]. I reall y have a hard time isolating that one....heeeheee

One of the major ISP's (Earthlink I think) does that, the long string is hexidecimal information that contains information about the browser (things like browser size, color depth, etc). I can't remember the site that explains it though.

There's an explanation on this slashdot page [slashdot.org].
