I am curious to see if anyone recognizes this attack/scanning pattern.
I found this activity on windows logs on one particular instance, and after some research I found this code on some websites as well.. would anyone be familiar with this pattern?

It looks like a Nessus scan to me. First off, they're trying Linux commands on a Windows machine, so.....Secondly, halfway through the log you find http://rfi.nessus.org/rfi.txt which identifies it as a Nessus scan.

This is the contents of that file:

<?php
 # NessusFileIncludeTest
 echo base64_decode("TmVzc3VzQ29kZUV4ZWNUZXN0")."\n\n";
 echo "'id' output: ";
 system("id");
php?>

I know it includes a NESSUS file, but if it is a Nessus scan, would you have any idea what templated scan or vulnerability policy that activity could fall under? I have Nessus Security Center and can't seem to be able to replicate that scan.

Thanks for the reply btw!
