    <p>This happens all the time and <s>is probably</s> <strong>is absolutely</strong> not even a physical human being. People write scripts to try and get a successful result from any version of PHPMyAdmin, try an SSH attempt on just about every account name and password possible, or just go for anything and everything that could have a potential vulnerability. When you have a server on a public, open IP address, these things are bound to happen.</p> <p>When someone attempts to access a website, a <code>GET</code> request is executed on the HTTP server. This, so obviously a script (look at the timestamps), is trying to <code>GET</code> generic names, for every <code>GET</code> request, a log entry is created in Apache (or Tomcat Apache in your case) for said <code>GET</code> and it's outcome. The majority of these entries are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_404" rel="nofollow">HTTP 404</a> errors, which as most know mean that the resource was not found.</p> <p>There are several resources to help server admins track or block such activity:</p> <p><a href="http://www.fail2ban.org" rel="nofollow">fail2ban</a></p> <p><a href="http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">DenyHosts</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.logwatch.org" rel="nofollow">LogWatch</a></p> <p>The best recommendation is to one, patch often, especially if you see one listed as a security patch, and two, use a firewall, opening only the absolute most needed ports from your server to the open world.</p>
