Hi,
Just looking at who was online on my site and i came across a (chinese) isp address looking at my site with the following code, one to each attempt, on to my address.

It doesn't look nice, and i have hopefully now blocked it, but does anyone know what they are specifically trying to do? My backend put in the '..?..?..?..', so i can't help with that bit.

/cgi-bin/..?..?..?../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir
/_vti_bin/..?..?..?../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir
/_mem_bin/..?..?..?../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir
/msadc/..?..?..?../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir
/msadc/..?../..?../..?../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir
/scripts/..?..?..?..?../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir
/scripts/..?../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir
/scripts/..?..?..?..?../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir
/scripts/..?../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir
'

Thanks

Paul

It looks like they were trying to scan your directory structure.

That's what i thought, but didn't know if they were trying to write to the site somehow.
