Re: apache - bots

[Vinai Kopp <vinai@home-in-the.net>]

I created a php 404 Error page, where I list the fingerprints of the worms 
I know.
If I find one of them is causing the request, I let the script simply die 
so I don't waste any more bandwidth then neccessary on these anoying 
creatures.

I thought about blocking IP's involved but the sources of the requests 
change too often.

HTH,

Vinai
