Hi <br />
<br />
One of my clients is getting a lot (thousands) of one specific incoming link going to his site, resulting in &nbsp;404 errors -- increasing CPU etc.<br />
<br />
The incoming link is (slightly modified for security) is news/blah.php<br />
<br />
Can I use a version of the following code to &quot;block&quot; that incoming link. &nbsp;(We will be doing other things to deal with this issue -- &nbsp;but also would like to block it, if possible, via htaccess.)<br />

Webserver: &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Apache <br />

Using Htacces to block a link

The Linux operating system, in all its flavors, has its own share of security flaws that allow intrusions, but there are various mechanisms by which these flaws can be removed, generally divided into two parts: authentication and access control. Authentication is responsible for ensuring that a user requesting access to the system is really the user with the account, while access control is responsible for controlling which resources each account has access to and what kind of access is permitted.

Linux Security

The Apache HTTP Server is a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards. Typically Apache is run on a Unix-like operating system, but it is available for a wide variety of operating systems, including Linux, Novell NetWare, Mac OS-X and Windows. Released under the Apache License, Apache is open-source software.

Apache Web Server

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
