I've been a victim for this annoying /sumthin-attack, I get quite a few requests for that dir, that's very annoying, 'cause my (not very silent) dot-matrix printer is printing my error_log ;) So now i wonder if i can make apache simply ignore requests for /sumthin, so it gives no http-header, nothing. Now I'm using "Redirect gone /sumthin" in my .htaccess, so I don't get any errors in error_log, but it would (IMO) be better to just drop the request. Is that possible? I run Apache2, so the exploit they're searching for doesn't work, but I don't want to spend system resources for generating page contents to this requests ;) -- /maxxflow maxxflow@xxxxxxxxx icq #285448265 jabber: maxxflow@xxxxxxxxxxx msn: maxxflow@xxxxxxxxx http://maxxflow.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
