Attack Analysis

Webshell Filename Probe
This IP requested a filename commonly used by webshells and backdoors (c99.php, wp_filemanager.php, and similar) — hoping a previous compromise, on this site or elsewhere, already dropped one at this exact path. A hit would hand the attacker a ready-made remote-control panel with no exploitation needed.

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.
Bad Bot Flood
This IP generated over 20 HTTP 4xx errors in 60 seconds using a User-Agent identified as a bad bot (scraper, headless browser, or attack proxy). The high error rate indicates automated probing for vulnerabilities while trying to appear as generic traffic. Legitimate services respect robots.txt and do not flood servers with errors.
Geo-Blocked Country
This IP was blocked purely based on its country of origin — the site owner has restricted access from this IP's geographic location due to a pattern of unwanted traffic from that region. This does not necessarily mean the specific IP itself has attacked anything; it reflects a blanket country-level policy.
