Re: Suspicious 404's

[Joel Esler <eslerj () gmail com>]

I have seen some entries in weblogs recently that are actually  
intended to be executed upon log readback.

For instance.  Some log entries are actually exploiting stuff like  
awstats and similar log review tools, and making those tools execute  
code, instead of the actual http service.

Kinda smart actually.
