Great piece of software

  • Show me the IP addresses of website visitors who try and use exploits to access me site (page not found, etc.) I than systematically ban that Ip from ever accessing the site ever again. This is the only popular plugin i use. It’s kept me safe so far. Just wish I had the 40 dollars a year the bee able to fully protect my site (e.g Country Blocking would be a great advance) but the free version does keep you on your toes.
    One exploit? I’ve seen a lot of lately is this one <blockquote>contact/+++++++++++++++++++++++++++Result:+chosen+nickname+%22dafmpquc39%22;+success;, over the past month I seen this on the page not found tab, with the same page not found from the same IP up to 33 times. If it was and out data sitemap, it would tell me was refarred by one of the search engines, but these are direct connects from the IP’s.
    The thinking behind this is BLOCK HACKERS NOW so you not upset later
    If any other user has seen this happening in the LIVE TRAFFIC view of there site and have more information on it, let me know

    The page requests are from various countries and cities around the word, and I assume (rightly or wrongly) it’s an exploit on one of the contact form plugins that hasn’t been discovered yet.
