CGI script Spamming
A URL submitter service has added my "free-for-all" links script to its submission process. Now I get 500+ URL submissions an hour, all unrelated to the topic of my website. The auto-submissions are causing my server to crash at least once a day because of SYN flooding.To help find out what submission service this is, I have re-named the original script and changed the auto-script to a Perl script called "CallerID" so I can gather information about the users.
Now, my question... Here is an example of the information the script is sending:
Code:
time: 2002-01-28T03:50:53+00:00 host: adsl-83-220-128.asm.bellsouth.net address: 65.83.220.128 browser: MSIE 5.5 os: Windows 95 user: proxy: gateway: fingertext: 'adsl-83-220-128.asm.bellsouth.net' did not respond referer: http://www.celebrity-exchange.com/ finger: 0 languages: cookies: username: identity: hostname: adsl-83-220-128.asm.bellsouth.net gatewayaddress: gatewayport: maybehost: fingertext: 'adsl-83-220-128.asm.bellsouth.net' did not respond requesturi: /links/directory/add.cgi
BTW, all of the "referer" URLs are coming back as http://celebrity-exchange.com which is actually me. I had hoped this section would lead me right to them, but no dice... and I do not have webalizer.
Thanks in advance...
