My attention was brought to a whole bunch of “page not found” errors in the log of my website tonight. At first, I just thought it was just someone trying scripts to gain access so I sent an abuse report to Linode as they owned the IP address, 172.105.83.62.

Their reply was vaguely interesting, though. They said that they didn’t regard it as abuse as it was a “security researcher” at work. Huh? On my website? Seriously? Wow – they need to set their sights higher!!!
