Hi All,

My Logwatch was very long today with 404 requests to the Apache server. I dont understand what the person was trying to do by what they were attempting to access. Can anyone explain a method to their madness? The whole things seems weird...

Taking one of the probed requests from your email, it turns up a hit for jQuery:

/jquery-1.4.4.min.js

So my guess is they're fuzzing/scanning for potential weaknesses in jQuery...

For those managing web sites it would be good to acquire such scripts and run them in pre-production as system tests. So where do we get scripts such as the one run against Jason's site?
