No, there’s a huge number of bots out there just doing stupid hacky stuff like trying for wp/admin/. Vast numbers of what I’d characterise as script-kiddy type attempts. Looking at the raw logs of a webserver not behind something like CloudFlare really opened my eyes to this. There’s an extraordinary number of garbage requests.
- pixl97 3y agoYea, there was an HN thread complaining about WAF's a few days ago, but damn, if you're on the public internet having some kind of WAF cuts down the bullshit responses by a massive amount. Same thing goes for email. I had one particular domain I managed spam filtering on and for every 10,000 messages we received, 1 was delivered to users. The amount of crap requests on the internet is insane.
- kube-system 3y agoAnd that's just requests on 80/443. Hook up an IDS to the WAN interface and, you'll see thousands of attempts per day to exploit vulnerabilities across other services too. My low-traffic personal projects get 90%+ malicious traffic.
