To receive a file and to render the page and execute the scripts are two different things. I don't want to dash you, but your "counterattack" is simply pointless. The people that are scanning your system for holes do not do that (unless eternaly stupid) by hand. They do not run internet explorer and try to browse to all those funny URLs. And the programs that do send the requests do not care about your virus, they do not render the returned page to the user, they just check whether the response is whatever it should be if your server is vulnerable. The worst thing you could do to them is to hold the connections until they time out each time (to slow down the scaners). The only people that might be affected by your witticism are those kiddies (note the missing "script"!) that just read somewhere that it's possible to break into some web servers by a URL like that and by accident use your server to try it out. I don't think you are likely to get a lot of those :-} Jenda ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED] === http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz ===== When it comes to wine, women and song, wizards are allowed to get drunk and croon as much as they like. -- Terry Pratchett in Sourcery -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
