Feedly:SANS Internet Storm Center, InfoCON: green. What is your most unusual User-Agent?, (Wed, Jun 29th)



from SANS Internet Storm Center, InfoCON: green

When looking at my web logs, I am always out to hunt for anomalies. Today, after seeing some odd and long user agents, I figured it would be fun to look for the longest once that I can find in my logs. First of all: how?

Fist, I am extracting the User Agent string from my web server access log:


cut -f 6 -d'"' access_log > /tmp/useragents 
 (this may look different for you if you use a different log format)

Next, sorting the result by line length:


cat /tmp/useragents | awk '{ print length, $0 }' | sort -n -s | cut -d" " -f2- | uniq

So finally some of the "winners"


Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0 OWASMIME/4.0500 (...) 
 OWASMIME/4.0500 is repeated many times.  No idea what this is about. A buggy script?

An exploit for an OLD Joomla issue if I remember right? This stuff still works?

Again. Lots of duplicate content. Do you REALLY have to tell me what version of Outlook you are running? I know you are proud of your tablet...

Oddly enough, no shell shock today. 

What is your longest User-Agent if you search your weblogs?
