A digital ghost that uses logfiles to remind of its presence : webservers keep tracks of requested files, even if they're unknown, keeping memory of 404 errors.
Don't_forget_me asks for an inexistent file in webservers randomly chosen, sending bursts of requests, to engrave its existence in web memory.
