What are these? Blog bots?

lucktsm · 03-13-2006, 09:05 AM

I have been looking at my apache error logs and I see numerous file not found errors for items about 'blog'.

Is this a blog search engine or some sort of hack attempt?

I don't run a blog, and I realy want these scans to stop. I enter them into my blacklist on the firewall, but there are so many it's like spammers.

Anyone have more information?

Ultimately, I would like to close the web ports in the early morning hours when most of these attacks occure.

There are a number of malicious worms and automated scripts circulating that try to compromise systems running vulnerable versions of PHP, PHP-related software like xmlrpc libs, and other BB software. It might be helpfull if you posted a few examples from your apache log, otherwise I'm purely speculating.

Ok, it looks like this post has actually asnwered my question. It's the same sort of garbage I am seeing in my apache logs. I have downloaded a few of the auto block programs, I am going to mess around with them.
