Does anybody know these IP's?

[xray]

Could you please look at my error log (attached). Does anyone recognize these IP's? Why are they asking for files that do not exist on my site? Is this hacking? Data mining? Automatons? Robots?
Does this happen to everyone? Should it be a concern?
Any thoughts would be apopreciated. Thanks.

Your screenshot text is tiny and, due to jpeg compression, is blurry. Consequently, it's quite unreadable. Can you try another screenshot with larger text and saved in a lossless format such as png?

Alternatively, you could just list the IPs.

If you're looking to find the owner of an IP, a good bet is to query the RIPE database - http://whois.ripe.net/

Yes most of those look like hack attempts but I wouldnt bother trying to hunt down the IP's. We get hit with those THOUSANDS of times a day on our servers. Many of those hits come from zombie machines performing exploit or dictionary attacks and often the "attacker" is just another hacked machine.

Even if you found out who the soure was all you can do is block them and wait for the next group of attack/hack attempts from another IP.

Hardening your server and installing things like "mod_security" is the only way to disable or reduce these kinds of things.

well, you might also use the following tool:

http://whois.domaintools.com/10.23.45.67

Change 10.23.45.67 with the desired IP.

Here are those requests and ip's in TEXT

With WHOIS I found who they are but - am I naive? - what are they hoping to find? None of these files exist (or ever existed) on my server. Thanks to all, again.

Like nyjimbo said, those are random bots and kiddie hackers looking for common vulnerable scripts. Most servers get many many of those a day. Tracking down the IP's is a waste of time mostly. You need to do some reading here about securing your server. There are a number of good how-to's Check out some of the pinned threads to find them.

Thank you everyone for giving me your perspectives! Now I know that much more.
