I run apache2 in a www-data sandbux, so I occasionally see some network traffic as someone downloads what I offer on my web page.
gkrellm is showing heavy, at my upload bandwith limit traffic. and has been for a couple hours. But that not enough to point htop fingers at the perp. lsof |grep www-data shows me several hundred lines of "no perms" errors without nameing the source of the errors other than apache2. How do I find the file causing those errors? Thats question #1 here. Humm. in /var/log/httpd/other_vhosts_access.log, is looks as if both www.yandex.com/bots and www.semrush.com/bot.html are trying to download all of my nitros9 stuff, which is a unix like OS for the trs-80 color computer. If that was going to a private user, I'd not have a problem with it, but how do I disable the bots from sucking at all on a weekly basis? This is not the first time they used my bandwidth for many hours at a time. Any help with apache2 rules would be much appreciated. Thanks all.
