SMF

In the 2.x admin, it shows the example: 

Ban on IP (e.g. 192.168.10-20.*):

Have you tried using:

216.104.0-31.*

Looks like someone was scanning you for a phpmyadmin setup file.   The 404 denotes they got a browser error since the file wasn't found.  That may be a standard setup file if you tried to install phpmyadmin yourself and didn't secure or delete it afterwards.

I wouldn't be concerned since they got a 404 either way but you can always block them if you want.

That specific IP address is in Germany (Berlin) so if you don't have any users/customers there, block it if you want.
