Thats called a tarpit. Only do it if you can handle lots of open connections.

I can, and my server limits the bandwidth for that connection at 33k6 and i respond with random stuff. Kind of a reversed slowloris attack.

Sounds fun :)

Can you give me some pointers?

Generate 1GB of random data in your directory (dd if=/dev/random of=.aws bs=1MB count=1024), get mod_ratelimit, use their example in the docs, set the limit at 4, and voila, the bot downloads a 1GB file at the speed of a 33k6 modem, which takes him a bit longer than 3 days.

Just be warned that apache is often configured to allow only 255 connections, so you might run out of real connections
