I am actually in the process of designing a better surge
protector on MeatballWiki. My first step is the concept
of network distance:

Subject: [WikiForum] Robot spam


Well, the NCDD wiki was found, and spammed by a robot before we even
have gone public. I'm trying to nudge the team off a sudden interest
in HardSecurity. At the same time, on Wiki:ReverseLinkDisabled
there's mention of turning away IPs with a high request rate.

Can anyone offer good starting settings for such a protection - how
many requests in how short a time to trigger it?

Any other advice welcome...

Life,
John
