My site has been proxy hacked by peek-a-boo.appspot.com and i was told i needed to write a .htaccess so it will block that user agent. Does anyone know how I can do that?

I am not sure if this is the user agent thanks

The proxy you mention is relatively well behaved in that it is hosted on Google App Engine and therefore always gives the same user agent string. The unique part in the user agent for this application is "peek-a-boo" (not surprisingly :))

You can block requests with a specific user agent by adding a rewrite rule to your .htaccess file. A similar question was asked here recently. You can look at the example code in that thread [webmasterworld.com] and customize it to your needs.
