ISC Feature of the Week: The 404Project, (Wed, Jan 18th)

The 404Project is a simple snippet of code you add to your 404 error page that submits information back to ISC for reporting. The main purpose of this project is to trend the web pages crawlers and automated bots are trying to access. A public report page will be available when enough data had been collected. isc.sans.edu/tools/404project.html
