Easy PHP Blackhole Trap with WHOIS Lookup for Bad Bots
"One of my favorite security measures here at Perishable Press is the site’s virtual Blackhole trap for bad bots.

Bots that ignore or disobey your robots rules will crawl the link and fall into the trap, which then performs a WHOIS Lookup and records the event in the blackhole data file."
