    i posted a link to DP and now a crazy bot keeps visiting my site like crazy

    it always requests the same url pretty quickly, very nasty behavior.
    in 10 minutes it made over 300 requests.

    74.53.104.178 - - [15/Aug/2009:12:58:09 -0700] "GET /page.htm HTTP/1.0" 302 661 "-" "WordPress/2.8.3; http://www.defaultdr.com"


    seems like some badly written auto-blogger

    anyone else noticed something like this?

    Not a digitalpoint IP address... But it's not terribly difficult to figure out exactly who it is...

    www.defaultdr.com] = 74.53.104.178 (confirm IP matches user agent)
    www.defaultdr.com] = gobackpacking.com (just look at the posts)
    gobackpacking.com = dave925
