I just saw a very peculiar thing in my log which I don't know how to interpret:


I don't recognize either of the IP addresses. Currently, only 8 people know about my server, and neither of them use any of these IP addresses. What does it mean, and how concerned should I be? To be on the safe side, I've switched off (F4) my HFS server until I've figured out what just happened.

I'm using 2.3 beta, build 202.

[edit] By the way, I have the "Stop spiders" option checked as well.

Ah ok, so it failed? Couldn't there be any indication of that in the log in that case? "Request denied" or something?

The request didn't failed: the main page was sent as reply. That's safe and harmless.
Of course that was not the goal of the malicious request.

Ok. I couldn't really read that out of it. But on the other hand, my knowledge of html is also very limited. I just saw it as an unknown user trying to get an unknown .gif file from another location.
Anyway, thanks for your reply.
