I have searched extensively for info on this subject and have found nothing. I admin a server which gets allot of bad requests daily. In fact, it has over 400 meg in bad log files daily. I asked a real Unix guru about the problem and he recommended using tar pitting. The idea is that every time a bad request is generated by an I.P. the time the server takes to respond is increased. Example: Bad request #1. server answers with 401 error in 1 second Bad request #1. server answers with 401 error in 2 seconds Bad request #1. server answers with 401 error in 4 seconds This sounds like the perfect answer to many problems with a variety of server attacks. The problem is I can only find info on the subject relating to spam mail and sendmail. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.
