How can I detect IP addresses that connect to IIS?
If you've ever wanted to detect IP addresses that try to connect to your IIS (Internet Information Services) servers, this advice can help.
Is there any way to detect when a specific IP address is constantly trying to connect to IIS?
The easiest/best thing to do is set up a network analyzer such as
Ethereal or, better yet, OmniPeek with an address filter on the local host or on a secondary host that's plugged into the span/mirror port on the Ethernet switch and can see the traffic. Any traffic to or from that IP will be captured.
