I've been seeing lots of entries in my 404
error page lists in my shared hosting account, which are attempts to hit sub URLs on my 'static' website, such as (usually with no referring URL):
/\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd%20website.rar
/aspweb.rar
/520.rar
/install.tar.gz
/sql.bak
/a.rar
/web123.zip
/aspweb.zip
/wwwroot.tar
These are aside from the usual attempts on /wp-login.php
, etc...
I'm wondering if anyone can explain the above, is it just hacking attempts, should I be worried or ignore them? The site is going through CloudFlare over HTTPS.
404 error page lists
, do you mean your sever's error log, Webmaster Tools/Search Console, or something else?
