unless your seeing actual load problems from this I wouldn't wast energy on it. If your really paranoid you could write some for of script to determine the number of 404 requests sent by a script kiddie, determine a threshold and drop them at the firewall level.
Everything on the site and in my network loads fine and works like it should.

For peace of mind I should learn more about this from his point of view, learn a few tricks and try to hack my own stuff then learn what I can do to prevent others from being sucessful in the event that I should.

At the same time, I should install a 3 strikes your out script. Although, thats gonna take me learning new stuff too. Damnit.


For the most part it looks like I dont have to worry. Thanks for the input everyone, much appreciated.
