Nother question, perhaps back on thread. I have 30 or so copies of a
rotots.txt that should block the bots, but in half an hour after I've
done an apache2 restart, they are back again.
Does apache2 pay any attention to hosts.deny, and does hosts.deny honor
CIDR addresses which would allow me to block the whole /24 they are
coming from. What they are doing is, since they're using all my upload
bandwidth, qualifies as a DDOS.
And at this point I don't care if I play dirty with stuff outside of
apache2's control.
Ack the man page CIDR working is yes. But there is no clue what log file
to look at to see if its working to control what apache2 does. That
would be most helpfull.
And a new one just showed up, a Mac known as bytespider@bytedance.com,
and he/she got put in hosts.deny. tsk tsk.
