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.
Directory Brute-Force (Active Scan)
This IP triggered 10 or more HTTP 4xx errors within 60 seconds — the signature of a vulnerability scanner cycling through wordlists of common admin paths, config files, and endpoints. Tools like Nikto, Dirbuster, and Gobuster produce exactly this pattern.
