[CLUE-Tech] annoying attempts to compromise web server

[Angelo Bertolli]

Looks like a compromised machine, so the person who is doing that is 
probably innocent.  I think I would probably just ignore it, but I guess 
you could block them at the firewall.

If you just want to keep it from getting into the log file just use 
something like this:

SetEnvIf Request_URI (.*)cmd\.exe nolog
CustomLog logs/access_log combined !env=nolog
