Ok, it’s me again. I’ve been checking the sampled logs on my cloudflare website and I’ve noticed some very particular requests:

Some context: I’m hosting my own static website (a personal blog) at home and serving it to the internet through a Cloudflare tunnel.

Upon inspecting them it seems like they are bots and web-crawlers trying to access directories and files that don’t exist on my server, (since I’m not using wordpress). While I don’t really have any credentials or anything to lose on my website and these attacks are harmless so far, this is kinda scary.

Should I worry? Is this normal internet behaviour? Should I expect even worse kinds of attacks? What can I do to improve security on my website and try to block these kinds of requests/attacks?

I’m still a noob, so this is a good opportunity for learning.

Thanks

    Thanks! I’ll keep all of that in mind. I knew there were a lot of bots and scripts running rampant on the internet, but I was really surprised when I put my website online and suddendly became a target.

    It’s good to know I’m not really at risk and that this is expected. I’ll try to learn more about cybersecurity
