If I'm not mistaken, were there not worms that when successful at exploiting a target box would throw 500 in the return code (those that for instance, caused an IIS restart)?Quote:

Unless you get 400, 403, or 404, I would investigate a bit.
As for the user-agent field, ignore it. They can be crafted to look however the crafter wants them to, and are thus unreliable.
