Stardate 20010919.1740 (Crew, this is the Captain): If you've been having any trouble getting into this server in the last couple of days, it's because of the NIMDA infection. I am absolutely getting flooded with bogus requests. Since I last reset my statistics Sunday morning, I've received 2000 requests to try to access "cmd.exe" in the "winnt" directory that this Linux server doesn't have, and there are probably a whole lot of other equally bogus requests. The "received data" light on the cable modem is blinking constantly; I think I must be getting between ten and twenty requests per second pretty much continuously. I've got three IPs hanging off it and they're all getting probed constantly.
