Open Relay
Think New Orleans is down for the next few hours. My mod_proxy configuration for Think New Orleans included the directive that turned the server into an open proxy. It was discovered two days ago, and my server has been a conduit for 70 GB of trash since then.
The proxy is closed, but I don’t want to serve all the 302 and 500 messages, or mess around with my server configuration to block ports, and whatnot.
By the time I had everything configured, the traffic will have gone of it’s own accord.
I’ve been in “whatever works” mode since September. I’ve installed lots of new packages and opened up lots of new services. It’s a not so fine line between agile and sloppy.
