Ask HN: Does Bing try to hack my website?
Hi HNers,
In my logs I found this:
* script '/var/www/padiracinnovation.org/alfa.php' not found or unable to stat, referer: www.bing.com*
My web site receives lots of weird requests from unlikely places, yet it's the first time Bing seems implicated.
I am aware this is probably some nice trick yet I fail to understand it.
Any opinion?
- easytiger 4y agoThe attacker/scanner is prob just sticking www.bing.com in the referer field to throw people off. Check the IP the request came from. Thats a freeform http field
