Have you considered using something like mod_security to manage this sort of 
thing?

Your basic idea is right, but what you want to do is use a "map." I will follow 
up with more details when I can pull the code off my server.

I 444 a number of services that I don't use. I have a script to find the IP 
addresses of those that trigger a 444 from access.log. If they come from a data 
center, hosting service, etc., they get on a blocking list for  my firewall. I 
block the entire IP space.

Subject: Aborting malicious requests


Just a thought before I start crafting one. I am creating a location{} block 
with the intention of populating it with a ton of requests I want to terminate 
immediately with a 444 response. Before I start, I thought I’d ask to see if 
anyone has a really good one I can use as a base.

For example, we don’t serve PHP so I’m starting with
Location ~* .php {
Return 444;
}

Then I can just include this into all my server blocks so I can manage the 
aborts all in one place. This alone reduces errors in the logs significantly. 
But now I will have to start adding in all the wordpress stuff, then onto php 
myadmin, etc. I will end up with something like

Location ~* (.php|wp-admin|my-admin) {
Return 444;
}

I can imagine the chunk inside the parenthesis is going to be pretty huge which 
is why I thought I’d reach out to see if anyone has one  already.

Thanks,
-mike
