VMSWiki actions
In the last few days, several new “accounts” have been created in the wiki – bogus names and bogus email-addresses. At least, the didn’t look like valid ones (though I won’t rule out they could be valid). But now I get an email if an account has been created, and that lessens the need to scan the webserver access-logfile for abuse of the wiki.
But still, access to the files I deleted earlier is still attempted – from several places wordlwide, including search engines. So I added a rule that any accessing “/vmswiki/AirTickets*” raises an error other than “ERROR 404 – The requested resource could not be found“. It now raises “ERROR 501 – The requested action is not implemented by this server“. Practically, this is what’s I did: by this mapping I removed the possible activity 😀
The number of attempts to access these pages has since dropped.
Nevertheless, I’ll keep a close look on the we activity.
