Few years back I created some HelloWorld application on Google's AppEngine (requires Java, Python or Go) and was positively surprised about its statistics on theirs dashboard.

I was also surprised but the number of different dumb bots that had tried to brute-force our app engine site on /wp-login.php

and it wasn't even running on wordpress

I get requests to /wp-login.php (and the like) on my simple Haskell web app hosted on my university's servers. They're quite persistent and I'm not even sure how found the URL to my app in the first place (the format is something like universityname.com/~userid/projectname, and I haven't linked it anywhere).
