except that lalo's solution works fine for "untargetted" attacking. if someone is taking the time to sniff the site for vulnerabilities in order to hand craft their bot's attack, we can assume it is a targetted attack from a (most likely small) set of addresses which can be black listed.

security through obscurity works fine, if it is maintained (read: the dictionary of questions is modified over time to prevent staleness), for a "one off" which our wiki would be (there wont be 1000's of shrink wrapped releases of our wiki).
