HttpException in System.Web

2

I'm getting one of these exception emails every day or so, is this anything to be concerned with? Is there anything I need to do?


An exception has occurred. Details of this error can be found below: An error occurred on the Rock site on page:

http://{rockrmsip}/w00tw00t.at.blackhats.romanian.anti-sec:)

HttpException in System.Web Message A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (:).

Stack Trace at System.Web.HttpRequest.ValidateInputIfRequiredByConfig()

at System.Web.HttpApplication.PipelineStepManager.ValidateHelper(HttpContext context)

    This is just a bot scanning your server for a specific exploit... very common. You _can_ configure IIS to filter them so they never get to the Rock app and cause the exception if they really bother you. Google for block wootwoot or similar for some ideas, or just ignore them.
