What about the lines like

@@ -146,7 +146,7 @@

In the patch file what do they mean?

Re: [PATCH] Blocking those pesky hackers
 

Those lines give the line number of where the edit starts, it's to help you figure out where you need to edit (not always the exact line number, but the lines are usually in the same area)

Ok cheers, was just curious.
The patch wouldn't work for me anyway even by doing it manually as comparing the files between my version 4.0.5 and the ones in the patch some don't exist.

Didn't think it would but I do like to tinker now and again :lol:

Re: [PATCH] Blocking those pesky hackers
 

I'll be releasing a patch for 4.0 soon ;-)

Re: [PATCH] Blocking those pesky hackers
 

Wonderful stuff! Thankyou.

Re: [PATCH] Blocking those pesky hackers
 

That's great news - looking forward to it! :D

Installed and working perfect..

I ran a http:// script myself and got banned just to test it, works a treat.

I'll have to keep an eye on the list to see what people are upto.

Re: [PATCH] Blocking those pesky hackers
 

I would like to know what sort of things someone can do when using a link like this on your site.

Is it bandwidth theft for spammers, or are they trying more malicious things with your site / software / server?

I run Scan Alert, and they always add new things to the scan to harden server against, but this is something I guess I have little knowledge of and it would be nice to know what sort of things may be attempted against us with this activity.

Nice mod by the way, looking for more released as discussed earlier in the thread. This has been affective in banning two folks so far, one in US and another from Spain.

Re: [PATCH] Blocking those pesky hackers
 

Great mod!

Is there any reason why I can use this patch and intentionally try a bogus URL and it works perfectly.... but if I add an IP manually to the stop list, it does nothing?


By the way... these are the hits I'm getting lately.. and they're not being blocked.

Re: [PATCH] Blocking those pesky hackers
 

I just noticed something else....

Should we be worried about any of the re-write mods being used against us?
