I was just checking my server access logs, and I see a lot of entries like this:
I have Comcast cable Internet and Comcast IP addresses begin with 68.61, so this seems to be a fellow Comcast source. It seems to be connecting to my IP on port 80 and using method "SEARCH" followed by tons and tons of \x escape codes. It takes up 32 lines in Notepad with word wrap off, so the request goes the longest length Notepad allows on a single line and then wraps back around 32 times.
Is this a normal HTTP request, or does it look like some kind of a hacking attempt, or is it maybe something Comcast does to ping its fellow IP addresses?
Thanks in advance.
