   I’ve noticed some people looking at these lists with the aim of personalised blocking… FYI, I stopped bothering for a bit using this for a while because the spammers etc change IP address so often. The time involved in keeping track of the addresses, removing ones that don’t get used etc is just not worth it, IMHO. If I worked out the time at my normal hourly rate I could pay someone to do it – and give the car a service – and decorate the house! After a while, the spams started coming in (leaving SABRE|Akismet| Tan Tan Noodles to do all the blocking) so I got a different bunch of similar IP addresses to block. This is the current crop. I’ve noticed I’m getting a few more Russian & Chinese comment spams (which are trapped by the plugins) so it may be time to have another go. #who has access who doesn’t order allow,deny deny from 12.178.36.25 deny from 124.237.86.62 deny from 125.34.226.234 deny from 125.45.115.120 deny from 125.83.89.68 deny from 131.107.65.41 deny from 144.229.34.5 deny from 144.229.34.5 deny from 160.114.38.82 deny from 190.2.0.2 deny from 190.69.75.27 deny from 192.68.112.136 deny from 192.116.79.226 deny from 193.144.34.242 deny from 193.167.80.3 deny from 193.205.184.13 deny from 193.46.236.152 deny from 194.25.146.4 deny from 194.186.188.47 deny from 194.186.53.226 deny from 194.6.220.83 deny from 195.2.114.31 deny from 195.2.114.32 deny from 195.2.114.33 deny from 195.225.178.15 deny from 195.245.119.76 deny from 195.3.146.12 deny from 195.3.146.13 deny from 196.203.190.226 deny from 200.27.73.12 deny from 200.35.147.20 deny from 200.63.40/22 deny from 200.63.42.136 deny from 200.71.199.86 deny from 201.27.161.218 deny from 202.10.64/15 deny from 203.112.90.136 deny from 203.162.2.133 deny from 203.162.2.134 deny from 203.162.2.136 deny from 203.162.2.137 deny from 204.9.184.229 deny from 205.158.160.76 deny from 206.53.61.4 deny from 208.110.81.154 deny from 208.187.80.135 deny from 209.190.4.34 deny from 210.0.198.81 deny from 210.14.128.172 deny from 210.22.158.132 deny from 210.41.224.237 deny from 212.115.225.21 deny from 212.175.13.169 deny from 212.23.21.100 deny from 212.45.52.221 deny from 212.45.52.221 deny from 216.24.128.0/19 deny from 216.24.131.152 deny from 216.240.152.9 deny from 217.146.246.8 deny from 217.20.115.118 deny from 217.75.158.160 deny from 218.26.219.186 deny from 218.61.16.8 deny from 218.80.237.90 deny from 219.117.216.130 deny from 219.133.45.202 deny from 219.148.206.37 deny from 219.157.196.243 deny from 219.157.196.243 deny from 220.241.79.178 deny from 24.1.39.117 deny from 24.109.237.94 deny from 38.99.101.151 deny from 58.65.235.195 deny from 58.65.235.196 deny from 58.65.237.113 deny from 58.65.239.146 deny from 58.78.6.60 deny from 59.165.2.234 deny from 59.93.209.205 deny from 59.95.182.210 deny from 61.152.95.162 deny from 62.12.137.20 deny from 62.149.67.49 deny from 64.233.178.136 deny from 64.233.179.101 deny from 64.86.69.6 deny from 64.94.4.196 deny from 66.232.124.243 deny from 66.235.180.189 deny from 67.18.18.122 deny from 67.180.173.189 deny from 67.225.205.53 deny from 68.227.127.221 deny from 68.230.199.205 deny from 72.219.149.226 deny from 72.249.100.188 deny from 72.48.170.214 deny from 74.6.22.174 deny from 75.126.3.177 deny from 76.108.136.168 deny from 77.70.106.4 deny from 78.110.160.130 deny from 78.157.143.140 deny from 78.157.143.249 deny from 79.189.230.227 deny from 79.69.159.210 deny from 80.234.10.228 deny from 80.234.10.70 deny from 80.234.3.150 deny from 80.234.5.164 deny from 80.234.5.225 deny from 80.234.8.204 deny from 80.234.8.56 deny from 80.45.54.27 deny from 81.156.125.244 deny from 81.63.140.37 deny from 81.88.210.27 deny from 82.237.112.123 deny from 83.105.26.98 deny from 84.16.252.90 deny from 85.140.66.78 deny from 85.194.127.11 deny from 85.225.117.179 deny from 85.84.53.127 deny from 86.96.227.70 deny from 87.118.102.146 deny from 87.118.112.50 deny from 87.118.118.146 deny from 87.118.120.127 deny from 87.118.122.2 deny from 87.118.122.58 deny from 87.118.70.5 deny from 87.118.70.17 deny from 88.200.145.197 deny from 88.200.147.73 deny from 88.200.253.47 deny from 88.255.69.10 deny from 88.83.59.3 deny from 88.83.59.3 deny from 88.84.200.121 deny from 88.84.200.121 deny from 89.149.227.193 deny from 89.149.236.176 deny from 89.149.241.229 deny from 89.149.241.231 deny from 89.149.254.13 deny from 89.169.36.190 deny from 89.18.166.90 deny from 89.207.216.211 deny from 89.207.216.212 deny from 89.248.162.146 deny from 91.76.104.227 deny from 91.77.254.201 deny from 92.100.125.189 deny from 92.113.91.196 deny from 92.241.169.168 deny from 92.241.176.200 deny from 92.48.84.209 deny from 93.123.3.132 deny from 93.174.93.221 deny from 93.174.93.224 deny from 93.189.56.218 deny from 94.102.49.81 deny from 94.0.0.0/8 deny from 98.211.211.102 deny from 98.215.105.161 allow from all #end access blocking list This website works on WordPress (always the latest version!!!), there are loads of plugins that are very effective at keeping the crap out. It can be argued that it’s better to block at the web server level rather than after the queries are passed to the next levels in the software onion. This is true. It can also be argued that I need a life, and the WordPress software with over 600k downloads since Xmas and all it’s peer reviewed plugins fulfill this function for me. In tandem with my “lazy” approach to IP address blocking, this works well. There are a few key Apache statements that I’ve used over time in .htaccess to keep out certain sorts of nasties. Trial and error has led me to stick with a few core ones. I may list them, or maybe not. Sometimes it pays to be circumspect. Whatever, they are all widely available on the net, say on “Ask Apache” etc. The key things are to stop directory traversing/listing (noindexes), to only allow certain file types in certain folders (e.g. just gif|jpg in a picture folder), to use the minimum permissions (CHMOD) you can get away with (644,705 & 755 work well for me, depending on the folder) and to make .htaccess unwritable after it’s made. For WordPress, make sure /wp-admin/ has an .htaccess file of it’s own. Suggested WordPress Plugins to use, excl those above: WP – Security Scan, Wassup, dump the database for analyis and easy copy and paste of IP addresses into htaccess, wp-scanner activator Reply
