Problem/Motivation

Bots found all renamed values in paths and started to send requests again

Steps to reproduce

After renaming “admin” => “mfjreloger” bots started to send requests to the new path... After another renaming iteration “mfjreloger” => “biomaster” it required just a few minutes to reveal my new path.

Are the "admin" and "user" routes publicly linked on your site?

If the bots can trace the links from your site to the new paths, then they will be able to find them again; this module only renames the paths, but it doesn't do anything else to hide them.
