I love investigating internet background radiation, this is interesting research. I've definitely seen spa504g.cfg (IP Phone) and spa112.cfg (Cisco analog terminal adapter) before; you should actually serve these a proper config file and spin up a disposable SIP server so you can (potentially) call them on the phone, send them a fax or even better ATDT ;)
replyThough, come to think of it these requests are more likely from credential harvesting bots as most ITSP's provision their CPE with a <macaddr>.cfg or similar.

I can't be the only one smiling at the mention of file_id.diz

Man, besides being slow; I really miss those days.
replyI could say I was "into computers" and it meant something. Eternal September ruined it.

50 packets a day is peanuts, I think the lowest ranking service group that I track is printers, and even that's around ~200 unique ips per day.

>peanuts
replyNo kidding. I have a few personal services running on Internet-facing servers and they get hammered 24/7.
One of my projects is written in Rails and I had left the server on the default verbosity during development. It accumulated several GB of systemd/journald logs in a matter of weeks.
50 packets a day sounds like a dream.

This reminds me of Slashdot commenters back in the day that tried to include words like "bomb" in their signatures in the hopes of flagging some government system. I am glad that people haven't gotten tired of this sort of tomfoolery and have adapted it for a modern world :)
