How to block an attacked file with a double slash in the url?

    I add attacked filenames to the “Immediately block” list in Wordfence “Options” (one has to specify a relative URL to the file so it must start with a forward slash).

    Sometimes attacked filenames begin with two forward slashes. Should I add them to the “Immediately block” list with one or two slashes?

  • Hello Nils,
    you are allowed to use wildcards there (*) so if you prefix your pattern with a wildcard that should work. Example:

    */banana will match //banana

    Just be careful so you don’t accidentally block legit requests. You would not want to attempt to block only // for example.
