The google.com/bot in apache access.log are dangerous?
by usodiario from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YS1V)
Debian 10 - Apache - MariaDB - PHP7.3
Hi, I am learning a little about servers and I am worried about the security.
1. I would like to know what these messages mean:
2. Are they dangerous?
3. Because there are .txt files. html .pdf ...?
4. Is it necessary to make a block?
5. Can they be locked automatically with fail2ban?
