9 calls (shown) in 2 seconds, all from the same exact IP number
and each with a different browser/user agent/version #.
I have forgotten how many times suspicious visits have traced back
to RIPE clients, only to see the trail run cold.
I see this batch mostly targets directories.
Question: If I ban these using .htaccess rewrites,
will that return 403 'forbidden' errors as shown? -Larry
For all of those that do not block the entire RIPE like wilderness
Golly Gee Jan ;)
There ya go humiliating me in public again ;)
Edited for larry's benefit.
Yes is your answer.
for this particular IP range use either.
deny from 217.20.114 (plus accompanying lines)
or
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^217\.20\.11[3-6]\. [OR]
(plus accompanying lines)
I personally (as Jan was kind enough to point out) prefer
deny from 217.
