Hey,
I stopped someone tonight and don't really know what to do with it. 
The email says...
| Quote: | | Reason: Abuse - AGENT |
The query string was...
Is the query string what they were using to attack me? It doesn't look all that harmfull really.
Peace! |

An Agent report is a report of a Harvester, not really a hack attempt. This is notification of who the harvester is. |

Ok anytime you see AGENT as the Reason its because the Harvestor list snagged the User-Agent as one that is banned. Thats why the actual query string looks innocent because it in fact was just a request for the index by a forbidden bot. |

Okay, thanks.
So agents aren't really a huge deal then... I mean I don't even have any downloads at the moment, isn't that what harvestors do... harvest your download files?
Thanks guys. |
