I have Apache (XAMPP 1.8.0) running on Vista Pro x64. A couple times now I have seen a pattern like the example below in access.log
. Concerning is the "attack" seems to somehow shift from a public IP to a valid private IP on my network (happens to be the WAN address of one of my routers).
Two questions: How is this possible, and what happens if the "attacker" stumbles on a valid request?
I've googled this to no avail.
