sure answer, yea it was an attempted hack. I see those alot on my server.
personally you should never install the cfdocs on a production machine. just
like you shouldn't install the IIS web admin on a production machine.
another good thing to do, if you're running an ftp service, make sure that
anonymous access is turned off. want even better ftp security? if you have a
static IP and you know you will only be uploading from that IP, restrict FTP
connection to that IP only. make sure that if you have SMTP services running
that relay is only allowed from 127.0.0.1, not the ip address of the
website. a great thing to do is to go to is to get the IIS security
checklist. it has been updated for IIS 5.0.

How much time was between hits? Did it look like a bot or a person
trying to find something?

These files have been known to open up some holes, and it is best to not
install them. But on newer versions they set them to only be accessible
from localhost (I think).
