Hi,

Does anyone know what kind of attack is this and how can be prevented?

IIS servers will not be able to serve any other pages for the time when this attack is active.

We use UrlScan and we have IIS 5/6 patched with latest security patches.

However from IIS logs I can not see much about how this attack is performed.

Thank you,

Chris

These logs are similar on busy virtual servers that use there own IP's. Please look at starting time and end time.

For the duration of the attack 1 hour and 20 minutes,

none of them have served other pages and their logs were similar with this and I did not seen requests other requests
with 200 response status from other sites.

I think that the attack is composed from a combination of previous attacks:

This looks to me like traffic that most web servers are handling just fine.
I don't see any reason why your servers should stop responding [unless they
were Windows workstations and not Windows servers, or were installed from a
Windows 2000 Server 5-CAL demo CD, because those have a limit of 5 or 10 max
concurrent connections].

Also, the two logs you posted are of different activity; the first log
contains 404 errors, the second log contains 400 errors. I'm not sure why
your two logs are so different? But they appear to represent different
requests.

You ARE using URLScan which is free from
www.microsoft.com/technet/security, right? [Looks like you're not.] Very
useful if not mandatory. And a firewall? I also assume your servers are
already fully patched [via http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com ] and
correctly configured for best security using the hardening instructions also
at the above URL?

If there is something making your server stop responding, I'm not sure
you're seeing it in these logs. You might check your firewall logs and use
a sniffer to capture more detail on the network traffic hitting your server.
Your web logs will NOT show you a successful HTTP buffer overflow attack,
nor will they show you a denial of service or other attack that targets
other ports not relating to IIS.

I'm not exactly sure what type of attack you are speaking of.

All the response status in the logfile you have posted are 404 - File Not
Found. Additionally, the requests seem very spaced out (only every 20
seconds or so). That is very low load for an IIS box.

If you want to see the actual rejected requests, you will need to look in
the URLScan log files, since I suspect that URLScan is rejecting these
request (hence the lack of any URI in the IIS log)

Cheers
Ken

: Hi,
:
: Does anyone know what kind of attack is this and how can be prevented?
:
: IIS servers will not be able to serve any other pages for the time when
this attack is active.
:
: We use UrlScan and we have IIS 5/6 patched with latest security patches.
:
: However from IIS logs I can not see much about how this attack is
performed.
:
: Thank you,
:
: Chris

This really isn't very heavy traffic, and shouldn't stop your servers
from responding.

These are all different from your previous post, and all ae reuqests
for CMD.EXE. Use URLScan to drop these requests.

Also, they are all from the same IP, 211.38.90.129. A Whois shows
these as an APNIC block, (Asia/Pacific) specifically Korea Telecom.
You could block this IP in your firewall, or if you have no legitimate
reason to get requests from Korea, maybe block 211.32.0.0 -
211.39.255.255, the entire range assigned to them.

This doesn't look like any to be concerning.

You posted both HTTPERR.log and a W3SVC web log. The HTTPERR shows some
repetitive attempts to send invalid requests to IIS6 (the requests just sent
"GET /url" without an HTTP version, hence logged as HTTP/0.0 ), but they
were quickly dropped with a 400 response. The 404 errors look like requests
rejected by URLScan, so you need to scan those logs for why they were
rejected.

Bottom line:
It looks like a bunch of random junk is being sent to you, but IIS6 is
pretty much ignoring them all as fast as possible.

These logs are similar on busy virtual servers that use there own IP's.
Please look at starting time and end time.

For the duration of the attack 1 hour and 20 minutes,

none of them have served other pages and their logs were similar with this
and I did not seen requests other requests
with 200 response status from other sites.

I think that the attack is composed from a combination of previous attacks:

I wish I had a solution for you but I don't. I
experienced the same problem today, 12-29-03. My server
would not serve web pages and when I looked at the CPU
utilization it was 90-100 and but when I hit the processes
tab the system idle process was 90. I have all patches,
URLSCAN, IISlockdown and removed non-essential services.
I bet it is some new worm or virus. My attackers ip was
64.223.230.X Verizon Global Networks, Inc

This might be our solution:

people using Microsoft urlscan should add the
TRACK verb to the DenyVerbs section and make sure it is
not in the
AllowVerbs section in the urlscan.ini file.
