Summary

The 404Project collects "Page Not Found" errors from web servers. To particiapte, use our Raspberry Pi Honeypot, or add one of the code snippets below to your custom 404 error page.

We started the project to find an easy way to look at web application attack trends. Attackers often search for vulnerable applications, and in the process generate 404 errors on sites that do not use these applications. The error logs give us an insight into what vulnerabilities attackers attempt to exploit.
