I don't run a webserver but I have noticed an increasing number of these malformed requests in my website logs.

I was also contemplating informing the victims, but I figured I'd have to try to work out email addresses from IP numbers. Can you explain what you mean about the "net send command" - is this Windows specific or something else...

Yep considering it depending on feasibility (as above). Regards, Brett.
