django-bot-rickroll 0.3.0

Django plugin that rickrolls bots and scanners by redirecting common malicious URLs

django-bot-rickroll

Story

Once upon a time I noticed my server log was filled with 404 errors for URL's like /wp-admin and so on. I figured redirecting them to this cool music video was one way I could get these errors out of my logs.

Also it means if my kids are snooping around they can get a laugh or two.

Installation

uv add django-bot-rickroll

Usage

Just add one line to urlpatterns:

from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    # Your app URLs first ...
    path("", include("bot_rickroll.urls")),
]

You should add this as the last line, so that in the unlikely event one of the URL's in the blocklist is actually supposed to work, then yours take precedence.

You can customize the target URL in your settings.py:

RICKROLL_URL = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
