DOS?

Date: 20/6/2007

Just recently the traffic pattern to this site has changed. Every ten seconds, on average, someone/something loads the i.Disk page. The requests come from lots of different IP's sometimes more than once, they never have a referrer and always have the same user agent: "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)". I'm not sure why a whole heap of machines all over the internet need to load idisk.php so much; 8000 hits a day. This is on top of the 2-3 thousand hits I get normally. These are the actual live hits on that page since I wrote this post.

Do you think this is a DOS or just some piece of software gone AWOL?

G'day Bloke

Did you ever find out what was causing all those hits? It's just that i have been reading about the Storm Worm so, naturally, when i saw your comment i thought bot-net.

Oh i just reached your site from Tinyapps.org.

i like the idea of an email programme that will fit on a thumb drive and is cross platform, but i have been reading everything else first, duh, don't ask :-)
