Cuidiu,

I'll give it a try and add it to my .htaccess file. I hope it works. It would be an easy way to cut off a hot zone.

I doubt very much it would be possible. But eventually you will have to ban all countries because there is bad, mixed with the good, everywhere. Part of a webmasters job is keeping up with security, staying up to date with patches and so on.


I realize that there are always going to be a few bad mixed in with good everywhere. The fact remains, that there are certain areas in the world that are currently hot spots, that are responsible for taking down 100's of websites a day. Even Microsoft has been hacked/defaced. Just take a look athttp://www.zone-h.org/ If this trend continues, I can see ISP's cutting off these hot spots, and turning that areas internet into an intranet

I realize that it's a webmasters job to keep on top of patches. All it takes is one small hole in one module, to take your whole site down. Even if your front end is tight, you can always be rearended if your host is exploited.

It would seem to me, a smart webmaster would lessen the risk of his site being exploited, by cutting off the hot zones.

Is there a way to ban a certain countries from one websites? other than entering the hundreds of IP's allocated to a certain country?

...Or is it possible to restrict my website to certain countries like, Canada, France, UK etc...

The reason I am asking this, is becuase there are a couple of groups from certain countries that are taking down 100's of websites a day, and I could really care less if someone on the otherside world on Kocamo Island can view my website.

This is the line in the config that always confuses me. Do I change it? or not?

$dbprefix = 'xoops_ts2_'; // Prefix for tables

One of the newer dual Xeons with the Ultra 320 SCSI should do fine.

Is your intra-network 10mhz or 100mhz?

Some of the earlier versions of phpbb (current version is 2.0.20) had some pretty big security/exploit holes. Which has always made me shy away from phpbb.

What is the MJ12bot/v1.0.7?

What exactly is the MJ12bot/v1.0.7? I know it hits my site, and XOOPS Protector blocks it, and it end up in my Protector log.

I googled the term MJ12bot, and it looks to be just a web search engine crawler, but XOOPS Protector must be blocking it for a reason.

Thanks

Have your host turn the mail server off to your domain for a couple of days.
