[users@httpd] Question about log?

[Knute Johnson <ap...@knutejohnson.com>]

I have a lot more of the following in my daily log.  Any idea what 
exactly the known hack attempt was?
  > Attempts to use known hacks by 197 hosts were logged 562 time(s) from:
>     71.198.234.91: 14 Time(s)
>
>     66.169.235.10: 10 Time(s)
>
> A total of 197 sites probed the server
>     108.201.92.73
>     108.23.234.43

Could this be what's causing it?

knute@knutejohnson:/var/log/apache2$ cat access.log | grep 71.198.234.91
lonejuniper.com:80 71.198.234.91 - - [20/Nov/2011:10:57:03 -0800] "GET

0 "-" "-"

Specifically the one with the 408 message?

Requests with error response codes
     408 Request Timeout
        null: 562 Time(s)

Is requesting a null page a hack?

Thanks,
