Hi everyone,
I recently installed XAMPP and am quite happy to have found it.
One issue I've been experiencing most days I turn on at least the Apache module: my Norton Security software keeps reporting these blocked "High Severity" intrusion attempts from various IP addresses. Here's an example:
Attack: ThinkPHP getShell Remote Code Execution 2.
Attacking computer: remote IP address, 40868
Attacking URL: My IP address/index.php?s=captcha
Destination address My IP address, 80
The attack was resulted from \DEVICE\HARDDISKVOLUME3\XAMPP\APACHE\BIN\HTTPD.EXE
Not all attacks have the same details although the attack always "was resulted from \DEVICE\HARDDISKVOLUME3\XAMPP\APACHE\BIN\HTTPD.EXE".
So what do you think? Should I be worried? Is there something (like a a setting on my computer) triggering these intrusion attempts?
I'm only using XAMPP on a local computer as recommended.
Thank you for any advice.
Dan
