I follow closely who and what visits this blog and other parts of my webserver. “What” being virusses and/or spyware. There are lots of 404 entries (page not found), because the requested page is something along the line of “c:/winnt/system32/cmd.exe”. Of course, that is not on my server.
Programs or browsers requesting such non-existing stuff, will be presented with this page. Real users can accidently request non-existing pages, but virusses SHOULD be treated differently.
So I was looking into creating a more sophisticated 404-page, one that actually detects what the requested page was, and in case of suspicion of a virus, send them an image of “the finger”, or something. Or a link to a good anti-virus program of course B)
Searching around the net for some info, I found this site. Dedicated to custom 404-pages. Cool.
