In our web application honeypots, we do see continuing scans for "/manager/html". While our honeypot doesn't (yet) fully simulate this Tomcat administrative interface, these scans are usually used to find unprotected Tomcat manager URLs. 

The full request:

GET /manager/html HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: zh-cn
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1)
Host: [host ip redacted]:8080
Cache-Control: no-cache

Today's top sources of these scans are:

222.186.21.117  (<-- by far the largest source) 
88.33.217.26
69.39.4.234
176.31.16.108
218.83.5.174
150.70.97.0/24
150.70.173.0/24   (maybe just block 150.70.0.0/16 ?)
121.8.241.145

OWASP got a brief guide on securing Tomcat: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Securing_tomcat

See the "Securing Manager WebApp" for details on protecting your management interface.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
