Log Paranoia
I have been watching the logs of a new blog I put up today about cheap Brighton. It is strange watching traffic develop from zero. I used some of my standard tricks which saw me get indexed in Google in about 5 hours which is about average. What I wasn’t expecting was the very sudden flood of bots and other suspicious activity.
The activity that worries me the most is that hundreds of completely different IP addresses are all asking for a single file. I would expect this kind of nonsense of course but not within a few hours of the domain registration!
It pays to watch your logs, if you don’t this is where you end up with hacking attempts getting through with brute force, of course you can’t watch them 24 hours a day.
