Content Server Log question

Ginnia · 01-28-2012, 01:01 PM

I have my Content Server up and running just fine so that my sister can "shop" in my Calibre library. But..... I'm seeing log entries that I am concerned about... Should I be??? If so, how can I protect myself from these unwanted probes?

These are the entries I am seeing.

79.148.130.254 - - [19/Jan/2012:05:35:00] "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" 200 6234 "" ""
79.148.130.254 - - [19/Jan/2012:05:35:00] "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" 200 6234 "" ""

115.168.33.141 - - [25/Jan/2012:20:53:04] "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" 200 6234 "" ""
186.3.150.104 - - [25/Jan/2012:21:23:19] "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" 200 6234 "" ""

Thanks,

Ginny

Try changing the default port to something else, put something like 8576 or 4512 or anything else. That would help a bit with people scanning the standard ports like 80 or 8080

Thanks for your response.

In my attachments, do you know that the "... 200 6234" means? Is this a cause for concern?

Sorry, no idea

200 is the HTTP status code 6234 is likely the port on the remote machine. You dont have to worry about either.

An HTTP status code of 200 is a success code - a request has been successfully completed. This does not indicate a problem.
