clown[NOR] Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 is there a way to program some sort of bot that keeps sending fake visitors to a website? if so.. is there a way to be able to block this? a friend of me is now suddenly getting over 100.000 hit's per day and his host is getting pissed cuz he's using way more bandwidth than he's payed for. Thanks in advance - Clown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohan Shenoy Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Is the automated bot using some uncommon user agent string? May be he can block it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benphp Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 This sounds like a form of DoS - denial of service attack. I'd talk to the provider about getting them to block it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
