I am a novice at hosting a website. I do it for personal friends use only, but it is not password portected. I do not have a "default" file or an "index" file that serves as the gateway; just a specifically named file that one must know in order to reach that page, and then reach the rest of the website. In my log each day, I get 5 or 6 entries that indicate that someone has scanned the site with a "GET" and then the log shows a "400" level error; meaning, I take it, that the GET method was not permitted, and they did not gain entry to my computer. Am I likely correct in that; or should I be concerned that strangers are gaining entry to my machine. I see nothing else in the log, except this from time to time: "POST /_vti_bin/_vti_aut/fp30reg.dll". I take it that is some sort of attempt at "exploit" if I run FrontPage (or have "FronPage") which I do not. The time taken with the "GET's" as shown by the low is usually 0 or 10, but sometimes it will be a number like 39846 or some such as that. I take it I can divide the number, whatever it is, by 100 to see how many seconds they were "at" my site? Would I be better off to just post a "default" file that is simply a dummy file that says: "Under Construction"? Did I mention that I am a complete novice at this? Thank you for any help or advice you may give.
