Attack Analysis

Webshell Upload Scan
This IP rapidly probed multiple non-existent PHP paths in under 60 seconds — a hallmark of automated webshell scanning tools hunting for previously uploaded backdoors or vulnerable file-upload endpoints. If successful, a webshell grants the attacker full remote code execution on the server.
WordPress Username Enumeration
This IP probed the WordPress ?author= parameter to enumerate valid usernames (e.g. ?author=1, ?author=2). Harvested usernames are then fed into credential stuffing or password brute-force attacks. This is purely reconnaissance — there is no legitimate reason to systematically probe author IDs.
