Send those worms home to roost
Securitylineman1996 writes "Most of us webmasters have had a few chuckles at those script kiddies trying Microsft IIS exploits on our Apache servers. But once those attacks start coming from worms living on unpatched zombies, sorting through countless dead-ends can get irritating. Not to mention, it wastes time when trying to track down a successful penetration attempt. Digitlcoup has a terribly ironic way of dealing with this.

Step one is to ignore those attacks by not even logging them. After all, someone lacking the sense to know what type of server he is attacking probably isn't much of a threat.

Step two is the funny part. He lets Microsoft deal with it."

I implemented this and it does work, but there is a problem with the last line of each section. When I have those two lines uncommented, Apache will not restart.

[root@www conf]# vi httpd.conf
[root@www conf]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 495 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
SetEnvIf regex could not be compiled.
[FAILED]
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 1056 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
SetEnvIf regex could not be compiled.
[FAILED]

If I comment out those two lines, Success!
Starting httpd: [ OK ]


Just something wrong with the regular expression. Anyone have a guess?
