Selective logging with Apache (or, hiding Code Red and Nimda)

Or just redirect to http://127.0.0.1 for those requested files to have it not show up in the error logs<p>

Selective logging with Apache (or, hiding Code Red and Nimda)
Authored by: stevec on Mar 19, '03 04:17:59PM

This Code Red/Nimda thing annoyed me a great deal as well but this tip just effects the logging of the attacks. While this is good, in and of itself, it does not address the main issue of blocking the attempts in the first place.

The firewall solutions are nice but I prefer the Creamy GUI Goodness method. I.E. The oddly named Little Dutch Moose. It installs as a control panel (whoops, "Preference Pane") and will automatically detect and then deny access to IP addresses that do these kind of attacks (among other things).

It's been running on my web server for a couple of months now with nary a problem. I have no connection with Wondermoosen software but can recommend this product heartily.
