Greetings, I was just looking over some IDS events and noticed that Google keeps looking for blackice.ini on one of our web servers. Does anyone have any idea as to why Google would be doing this? This happens on average 3-5 times a day. Nothing critical, just curious. Every time Google tries the request is denied.
Maybe at one time there was a file called /blackice.ini on your server and it got indexed? Were you ever on a virtual host with someone who may have had a /blackice.ini? Maybe some asshats have a link pointing to this nonexistent file and googlebot says "hm, let's see what this file that all these people are linking to is all about" ? I know I still get crawled for urls that aren't on my boxen any more... but not 3-5 times a day. Whois and traceroute suggest that if someone's pretending to be googlebot to try mine your site, they're at least putting some effort into it... CK -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too? _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
