So, referrer logs are filling up with the following malformed link:

hps://rogue:2087/scripts2/getthemes?modules=1

(t's removed at beginning to break link)

I haven't followed it, but it is clearly not a legitimate referrer page, and I have had 300 entries in the last two hours from this one source. Anybody else having this issue, and how do I add it to BadBehaviour? (I already added it to Spam-X)

Bad Behavior only blocks bots that send broken request or that are known to be "evil". If you think this bot can easily be identified, then send details to Michael Hampton so that he can add it to future releases.

In the meantime, I would block it in .htaccess - that URL should make a nice filter criterion. See this forum post for some ideas.

bye, Dirk

OK, this is not working, and my referrer logs have been filled for days. This is as bad as when the Czechs were tearing me up. Grrr....

Here's the code I have for the htaccess file. Did I do this wrong?

Text Formatted Code
# Referrer spam :-(
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^https://rogue:2087/scripts2/getthemes?modules=1.*$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^.*$ http://127.0.0.1/ [L,R=301]
 


Thank you!
