You sys admin guys should find this funny as well:

So, I've had my error logs on my web server at work filling up from this unknown process somewhere on the web attempting to access a folder that doesn't exist so every time this request is made, I get an entry in my error logs:

[Tue Jul 25 15:37:43 2006] [error] [client **.**.**.**] File does not exist: /export/home/-----/htdocs/RICOH

I have THOUSANDS of these entries as they occur every second or so at intermittent times all throughout the day. It was originating in NY about 3 or 4 months ago and I contacted the abuse dept. of the IP host and they killed that IP for me. Well, it didn't stop whatever was doing this and it grabbed a new IP, now from the Verizon network. I contacted Verizon, but they haven't done anything in a month so I started looking into other solutions. I was going to just block the IP altogether, but if it grabbed another IP then it would be useless so I needed something better. I realized that because this process is trying to get to a folder on my web server that I can control it using the Redirect permanent directive in the site .conf file. So, that's exactly what I did. I redirected all access to this nonexistant folder to www.verizon.net/<ipaddress of the request>/ so now Verizon gets to deal with their error logs filling up and will finally have to look into it instead of ignoring it. It's not traceable to us at all so they can't come back on us for it. I was thinking about sending it to the FBI site or a horrible p0rn site, but I wanted Verizon to feel my pain. I love my job sometimes. :lmao:

 

That's messed up Josh :squint: I've been getting those errors all morning :squint:





























OK Not really h: :chuckles:

 

My glasses are too thin to understand all that h:

 

What's your home IP? I can shoot it over there if you like?

 

BURN! :eek3:

Cliffs: bad process fills up my error logs from external source, I redirect process to originating ISP, problem solved/revenge on Verizon had for not helping
