What about adding a redirect a variant like this; redirect them back to their own box? $redirect = "http://".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; header("Location: $redirect"); Granted, they may not be running anything on port 80, but if they are and they're going to fill up someone's log with goop, let 'em fill up their own. ;-D I also tire of “script kiddies” and like your solution.

$redirect = “http://”.$_SERVER[’REMOTE_ADDR’].$_SERVER[’REQUEST_URI’];
header(”Location: $redirect”);

The function is defined here: http://www.php.net/substr $stype corresponds to the parameters passed to search.php in the URL. For example, stype=http://0x00013.50webs.org/tesgcc.txt? The substr checks to see if the first few characters of $stype starts with those characters. Does that help some? The code snippet is PHP. The function is defined here: http://www.php.net/substr
