Loads of hack attempts today – anybody else seeing this?
Since yesterday I’m seeing loads of hack attempts in my web servers’ logs. All those items in green in the partial screenshot to the right are illegal requests. It’s a bunch of binary data that’s supposed to trigger known vulnerabilities in web server code. All the items in blue are legit requests.
Anybody else seeing something similar? I traced some of the offenders and they are all over the place. Looks like a botnet attack to me …
