linux - What can I do when an external client try to run a PHP script on my server? -
i have lamp configured server , multiple times apache error log file can see warning messages one:
[thu jul 02 08:54:04.263981 2015] [:error] [pid 12059] [client 5.45.79.44:49144] script '/var/www/html/wp-update.php' not found or unable stat, referer: http://example.org/wp-update.php
currently have mod_security
, inside wordpress wordfence enabled.
what should done in such cases protect , prevent these attacks?
those warning messages can ignored, since generated when apache can't find requested file (404) or permission requested file denied (403).
i see tons of such messages daily in server logs , reason appear is, automated scripts try check server vulnerable/insecure scripts, admin may have forgotten. lately noticed, kind of mass-requests target ssh keys (get /var/www/.ssh/id_rsa - in case server admin misconfigured server).
running mod_security
on server tight ruleset (e.g. owasp crs) gives basic protection against various kind of known/unknown attacks.
