I installed this web log analyzer, and it seems that this site gets the most hits from 1) website monitoring services, and 2) MicroSoft IIS web servers which have been taken over by a worm/virus. The former isn’t that interesting, but the numbers presented by the latter are very surprising.

I enabled this server on the 8th of April. In April alone, I logged 1,895 hack attempts. In May, my first full month of activity, they “only” attempted to hack into this server 1,360 times. This month, which is only half over, I already logged 1,185 attempts.
