Wpad.dat hacking attempts?

Asked by Crucio666 in Windows Networking, Network Software Firewalls, Operating Systems Network Security

Hello Experts,

I need some urgent help. I've enabled logging on my firewall to log what websites etc my pc's are trying to access.

After reviewing the logs i notice one specific address most PC's are trying to access throughout the day.

the address is 63.xxx.xxx.xxx/wpad.dat

the 63 ip is the ip of our website which is not hosted on site.

The users aren't constantly going to this website all day and in the firewall logs this wpad.dat keeps showing up.

I'm unfamiliar as to what this can be and would like to know if someone is trying to intrude my network....

I tried going to that URL from my PC and it brings up a page cannot be displayed.

Please let me know what I can do to find out what this is or how to prevent this if this is something malicious. Thanks for your help guys.Start Free Trial
