Create a script to activate a ban using Sentinel?

Well I have had several errors in my logs with someone trying to access modules/My_eGallery/public/displayCategory.php on my server which doesnt exist and I wanted to create that file so that when it is run that it automatically Bans that persons IP automatically.

I dont know if this is possible within NukeSentinel so I wanted to do this manually.

Not exactly. But, you can cause them some grief.

Put this code in your file

Code:

<?


header("Location:  http://your_site.com/abuse/abuse.html");


?>

This does assume you are using the PC Killer template. If not, just direct it to wherever. To actually ban them, you would need to write to the .htaccess file. Use the code from includes/sentinel.php as a guide.

Another though (not tested). Create the folder hierarchy and file. Leave that code as directed above. Then, in Sentinel config, under String Blocker Settings, add

/My_eGallery/public/displayCategory.php

That should work Wink

. The reason you need to create the folder/file structure is that Apache will grap the URI before Sentinel does and return a 404.
