I usually just ignore that stuff. There is constant probing of my web server on MIM.
It's kindof fun to see all kind of stuff they are trying. Also a good reference to see
all kind of problems and exploits that exists on Unix and Windows web servers...
(I *think* my RSX web server is actually pretty safe, but who knows...)
Trying to retaliate would be an endless battle which I don't care about anyway...
But attacking them back is kinda funny, oh here's one more script in case there's
no HTTP:
--- gohydra ---
#p1 = host, p2 = port, p3 = service
hydra -P ~/words -l fuckyou -s $2 $1 $3
--- end gohydra ---
