Or what about this: redirect your 404 to a PHP script with something like: ErrorDocument 404 /404.php and then let a script like this waste the attacker's time: <? echo "404 This page is not available.\n"; flush(); sleep(150); ?> This should slow the scanning and thus the waste of bandwidth and spread rate of the infections down. At least, if the worm is single threaded. Iljitsch van Beijnum
