What is the purpose of detecting and trying to prevent these attacks? If someone code reds (or similar) you - they get a 404 error. Why waste the extra processing power and extra config maintenance on something that does "no harm". When the next type of attack comes out - should the config be changed to address that? Its a waste of time. -Tim Jim Urban wrote: >>create a bunch of mod_rewrite filters (in httpd.conf - for Apache) that > > redirects > >>all those requests to www.microsoft.com > > Can you provide an example? > > Jim > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> **** DISCLAIMER **** "This e-mail and any attachments thereto may contain information which is confidential and/or protected by intellectual property rights and are intended for the sole use of the recipient(s) named above.
