nessus-p1.cc.umr.edu or 131.151.0.68

I was checking my apache logs the other day and noticed a lot of random hits to my server. All were coming from this address and hitting seemingly random directories such as /_scripts and /phpBB /_tests /_vti_bot

I suspect it to be some sort of bot sniffing for exploits

Anyone have any idea what nessus-p1 is? I plan on sending IT an email later and sending them a copy of the log files.

well that clears that up.
though I'm not on campus, nor is this server on campus

Any idea why they scan people off campus?

I fear your feline friend may have chosen the wrong hunting grounds...

Are you VPNed in to the network? If you are VPN'd in, then you are a threat just like anyone else.
