I’ve recently started logging my errors through codeIgniter. Since doing so, I have noticed a lot of 404 errors for directories that don’t exist. For example:
ERROR – 2010-05-15 21:06:26 –> 404 Page Not Found –> someController/images
Where someController is, obviously, a controller. The problem is, there are no functions within that controller called images, nor are there any links to a directory by that name. Could this be that someone is trying to hack my site? If so, do I need to worry? If not, why is this happening? Thanks, and forgive the newby-ness.
Could it be a problem with relative links? I’m yet to hear of an exploit looking for non-existent image directories, though that kind of relies on the type of site you operate.
