Ya know, I don't so much mind that there are thousands of requests for non-existent .php files in my blog web server logs, it's that they come from so many different IP addresses.
Honestly, people, either I have an unsecured wp-login.php or I don't, and the first person who gets there is gonna patch the hole. It's wasted effort.

At some point I have vague memories of one of those script addresses just doing an ipfw deny all from ..., but that infrastructure doesn't seem to be in place these days, so it may have just been an "oh, probably a good idea if I...", and then not getting around to it.

I always rename phpmyadmin.
