Possible Security Threat

[longle255]

I'm running a compound server which has just got a request like this [tiniweb-0 (out) 2014-01-09T18:22:36] GET http://www.soso.com/ controller: web/home action: index

Normally the controller: web/home action: index is set for the route '/',

Anyone know how is it possible to create a request like that? and how to prevent that type of request?

Thanks for you input

Could you please clarify what you mean? What do you want to prevent? What is wrong with your output? What is desired effect?

This is my route

module.exports.routes = function(map) {
  map.get('/', 'web/home#index');
}

What I'm expecting here is the action index of controller web/home will serve the rout /

Base on that route the server will not serve the request GET http://www.soso.com/ and a result of 404 will be returned.

However the log shows that the request GET http://www.soso.com/ is accepted and being served by action index of controller web/home that lead to an unexpected result.

So my question here is how to prevent that type of request.

I can't either. That issue happened on production environment. After doing some searching on the internet I found this https://www.gpf-comics.com/dnsbl/index.php?ip=125.18.240.104 which points out

Additional Comments: Attack begins with what appears to be a simple proxy attempt to an external site, but subsequent requests repeatedly concatenate the previous request URLs until this quickly becomes an overflow attack. 40+ attempts, no legitimate requests. Indian IP listed at StopForumSpam.com, BotScout.com, Project Honey Pot (comment spammer).
