Over the past 2 days ive seen this in my error log:

 

[Tue Feb 10 19:50:52 2009] [error] [client 207.32.18.73] File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/directory, referer: http://127.0.0.1:4664/preview?event_id=144624&schema_id=2&q=like&s=000000000000000000000000000

 

Is this a google thing or a hack attempt

4664/TCP Google Desktop Search Unofficial

 

That's from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

 

Thanks for sharing. Did some more research on this:

 

"

In February 2007, Yair Amit from Watchfire found a series of vulnerabilities in Google Desktop that could allow a malicious individual to achieve not only remote, persistent access to sensitive data, but in some cases full system control as well. The significant impact and the ease of exploitation forced Google to change some of Google Desktop's logic in Google Desktop version 5.

Ill keep an eye on my error log, he seems to have stopped, at its peak he was doing 200+ queries every hour.

I just realized that the referrer of 127.0.0.1 would mean the client's localhost, not your's lol.  Had a slow moment earlier.

 

;) Its ok, I have more that one an hour...

 

So maybe for some reason, his Google Desktop install indexed /directory/ on your site?

 

No more indexing my directories, with my htaccess powers and url rewrites...for example i have urls like this:

http://www.site.com/fake_directory/123/title/

 

Which in reality is;

 

http://www.site.com/show?id=123&title=blablabla

 

He cant be too intelligent cause hes trying to access :

 

http://www.site.com/fake_directory

 

This sites been hacked many times before but im not the moronic programmer i used to be
