    I bet there’s a sweet spot where you can add a delay to each but the crawler won’t give up. Kind of a reverse slowloris

      Kind of a reverse slowloris

      Oh I made that for my server because I noticed so many bots were probing the commonly exposed file directories. It’s nginx and a python server that just opens a connection and slowly sends out json text that looks like it has passwords and secrets until the reverse proxy closes the connection forcefully.
