I just had a brain fart... I host a website and when I look at the logs I see them looking for all kinds of files (data.sql, db_dump.sql, etc) and these are script kiddies looking for ways to get in of course.... But why not serve them lots of rubbish, would that stop them from looking? or just annoy them? Or would they even notice?

So instead of giving a 404 serve them /dev/random output for a while.
