I think it's inconclusive to say whether you've been hacked. From this log
it looks like nothing was done, leading me to believe that whatever it was
gave up after having no success.

Additionally, code 404, 403, 40x etc. is so far always a code of no success.
500 is usually no success but not always. 200 is usually success but not
always. For more information on this, see:

http://securityadmin.info/faq.htm#iislogs2
http://securityadmin.info/faq.htm#iislogs

This looks like a worm like Nimda or Code Red. There's nothing you really
can or should do to stop these from hitting your server, you just need to be
sure your server is hardened against them, which it seems you are. Everyone
gets tons of these attempts in their IIS logs.

Having said that, you should really consider running URLScan which is free
from Microsoft, comes with IISLockdown. The 500 error codes also indicate
you may not have followed the IIS hardening checklists out there, starting
with the ones from www.microsoft.com/technet/security

Other things you should consider doing to harden your system are at:

PS this log does not prove that your server has not been hacked ever, just
that it does not appear to have been hacked today via IIS. If you want to
look for signs of a successful hacking, you can try this:

Thats the last I have on there until I accessed it this
morning, having been hacked by F3PN.
Anyone have any insight on this?
