OK, anyone know what this is about?

For awhile now I've been noticing this shows up in my error logs, leads to no such page, and usually looks like this:

dirname+AF8-test.html

I have no idea what this is about, but being as it is done on a repeated basis, somebody (or bodies) is trying to find something and I'd like to know what.

IP address is always different and not sure if it's a spoofed or hidden IP, as they always seems to time out on a trace route.

No matter what else changes, the +AF8 always remains the same and is in there somewhere. Any concrete info would appreciated.

Guess I'm the only one with this problem?

Decided to end the situation by just blocking the IP address [64.156.198.80] and watch for any others -- I'll block them too. :D
