Re: [PATCH] Blocking those pesky hackers
 

I ended up disabling this mod. It was blocking customers and I couldn't figure out why.

Re: [PATCH] Blocking those pesky hackers
 

I am having a huge problem with this currently. Does anyone have a resolution for this hacker issue.

I am not code and change savvy and so am not sure which way to turn to get this figured out.
Thanks for any help

What problem are you having?

Re: [PATCH] Blocking those pesky hackers
 

Sorry the same problem as listed in the first post.

with huge numbers of users on my site, minimal orders coming through to show reason for the inflated numbers and also the users viewing a page that is listed as a help page and then there is an additional http address in it.
an example in the attached image


Just like what the gentleman in the first post mentioned. I was going to ask my web guys to try to implement this patch, but was nervous as who it is working for and not working for. At a loss of what to do.

Thanks for any input
Chris

Hey Chris,

In Post # 63, Balinor says that he uses it with success. Why not just give it a try?

Work on a copy of the file and you can always revert.

It is just one file: admin/stop_list.php

And one Language Label added via a SQL patch, but you can open that file in a text editor and add the Label through the Admin --> Languages interface if you prefer.

WARNING: Any one using this mod please check that it's not banning the Google Bot IP. I have marked that some times this mod just bans the Google IP thinking it's hacking attempt.

This can affect your SEO in Google as google will not able to crawl your site. You can confirm this by login to your google webmaster account & then use the tool as crawl as Google Bot.

I can't figure out why some times this mods ban google bot's IP !!! ???
