It's been a few years since I've done any extensive work with Apache
and could use some help with a server that I've inherited.
The Apache server is configured with a <VirtualHost> that is used to
support a single, web-based collaboration tool. The URL used to
access the collaboration tool are in the following format.
https://host.domain.com/anonymous/...
https://host.domain.com/registered/...
https://host.domain.com/resources/...
The strings--anonymous, registered, and resources--have an associated
Alias that defines which <Location> container to be used to access a
collaboration workspace. The anonymous string is only used for
registering a new user as a member of a collaboration workspace.
Looking at the Apache access log, it's clear that Apache is processing
a lot of requests from systems probing for vulnerabilities. Rather
than have Apache process the request, I would like to immediately
reject all requests with a 503, Service Unavailable, status.
Can this be done with a series of RewriteCond statements specifying
each of the permitted strings followed by a RewriteRule that rejects
the request and terminates processing? Is there a better way of
accomplishing this?
