Attack Analysis

Backup & Database File Probe
This IP requested common backup file paths (.bak, .sql, .zip, wp-config.bak), hunting for database dumps or config files containing plaintext credentials. A single exposed wp-config.bak can hand an attacker full database access. This attack is automated and deliberate.
Listed on 1 threat-intelligence blocklist
  • FireHOL level2 — FireHOL level2 lists addresses seen attacking in the last 48 hours across many sensors. It is large and volatile: addresses enter and leave quickly, so on its own this is weaker, recent-activity evidence.
Only short-lived or context lists match, so this is weak evidence on its own.
Git Repository Exposure Probe
This IP requested the /.git/ directory, attempting to download source code, commit history, database credentials, and API keys from an accidentally exposed Git repository. Automated tools can reconstruct an entire codebase from an exposed .git folder. No legitimate client ever requests this path.
