I'm trying to come up with a method of preventing this kind of wholesale download. Many web sites now use a challenge system consisting of an authorization word in graphics format that the user must key in before being granted access. The problem is that this solution imposes a burden on our legitimate users that shouldn't be necessary, so I'm looking for a solution that doesn't involve any additional steps for our users.
The first few times this happened, I changed the Apache server configuration to deny access to the offending IP address, but it's impossible to monitor log files to keep up with the ever-changing IP addresses where these attacks originate.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to approach this problem?
