Oddball Banning Issue

[Spunout]

Hello everyone, I'm new here and am having problems killing this loser. Here's it's appearance on my log and is doing this all day long:

64.57.64.43 - - [03/Sep/2004:10:24:56 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 13392 "http://weight-loss-pills.boom.ru" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt)"

-------------------------------------

I did the .htaccess like this:

<Directory "/var/www/html">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Deny from 64.57.64
</Directory>

but that has not stopped the perp.

I would redirect, but it does not appear that he is hitting a particular page.

Please help the newbie.

(Also, I did not see this on other boards, but apologize if I accessed the wrong one.)

Thank you.

I'd use:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^64\.57\.64\.43
RewriteRule ^.* - [F]

Make sure you contact Blue Gravity and report this person so they can kill his account:

TechHandle: TK266-ARIN
TechName: Krwawecz III, Thomas
TechPhone: [phone]
TechEmail: [e-mail]

Thanks for the swift response. That also goes on my .htaccess correct? Should just switch parts with what I had on it or should I just cut & paste below it.

Again, thanks!

Work it into what you already have - and test it somewhere non-critical first.

I have a forum and when people are beginning to annoy me I use either one of these.

This will just give them an access denied message.

order allow,deny
deny from 64.57.64.43
allow from all

This one will redirect them were ever you want.

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^64.57.64.43$
RewriteRule .*$ http://www.example.com [R]

Put it in your base directory .htaccess file and it will not matter what page they hit.
