String Question

Posted: Wed Dec 22, 2010 8:39 am

Hey all-

Just curious if this is possible via adding a string to nukeSent. I want to automatically block ip's that hit my forums page (which doesn't exist) immediately & automatically.

Reason being... here in the past week or so... our site which doesn't run forums has a lot of hits based on people trying to either hit or scan the forums which we don't even have.

So I was wanting to add this string...

Code:

/modules.php?name=Forums

somewhere so that when that particular module is queried... it bans them automatically. Thanks for you time.

I suggest that you, instead, add a redirect rule in your Apache .htaccess file. That way it never gets to your site Smile
