I never check my logs. Today I find this.

I have my new site hosted on DigitalOcean.

This is what I found today in my access logs.

Looks to me like it is trying to access commonly known URLs for WordPress admin.

Of course it won't find anything!

LOL, so true amigo.

I'm really loving the experience so far, I mean, having a VPS instead of a Shared Hosting account. Really opened my eyes to EVERYTHING.

I made sure to have enabled a firewall. I had blocked port 22 and changed it to something else, since I always SSH in. But I could not find a way to rsync my site up with the newly changed port number, so, back to 22 it is.

This seriously made me think of creating a minimal template to wp-* URLs saying "This page was intentionally made without WordPress." :)

NOW THAT, would be a fun idea!

With a script that gathers all the bots IP addresses that access it.

Also make a simple WP login form, and every attempted login gets saved :D
