I've got a bit of a complicated setup going on here, and, well, it's not quite working. I have a Python script that parses a directory for certain "attributes" in the directory name (how the script works isn't necessarily important - it runs just fine). This script is called via the system() command in PHP (running on an Apache webserver on CentOS 6.2).
I have an aggregate site on a linux server that pulls in feeds from a universe of about 2,000 blogs. It's in Wordpress 3.4.2 and I have a cron job that is staggered to run five times an hour on another server to pull in the stories and then publish them to the front page of this site. This is so I didn't put too much pressure all on one server.
So have set up a test site and it seems that the bots or someone is trying to hitting various pages that are not on the server.
Is there a way to block the ip etc?
I am running fail2ban and deny hosts but not sure how to get them to read the access_log file. Or even if that is the correct application to use.
Thanx
I have been trying to research and understand Netfilter/IPTABLES the best that I can. I have written a shell script to start with and I would like to know if I could post it and have some opinions on it to help me get it right.
Presently I have a site located on a Virtual Server with (2) two IP Addresses.
My website is being DoS'ed by Google webspiders. Google is welcome to index my site, but sometimes it is querying a tagcloud on my site faster than my webserver can produce the results, making my webserver run out of resources.
How can I limit access to my webserver in such a way that normal visitors are not affected?
The Ubuntu IRC Bots team is looking for volunteers who know python, or are interested in learning python to help out with development of the Ubuntu IRC bots. They recently created a tag called Junior Tasks for people who are interested in getting started with the Ubuntu IRC Bots team.
Hi,
My script needs to crawl the data from a third party site. Currently it is written in wget. The third party site is of shared interface with different IP addresses.
My wget works with all the IP address but not with one.

Help!
My site has been hacked.
I have setup the following Varnish:80 -> Apache:8080 -> Apache:8081.
Varnish is setup and working as expected however I am having trouble getting redirects to work properly.
When a request is made Apache:8080 is picking it up and ProxyPassReverse'ing it to Apache:8081. When the script returns a location header it is to example.com:8081 and it needs to be without the port.
