>>.....and all hackers ALWAYS use the same IP....cause they'd never get >>caught that way...hehe
>>yes...that was meant to be sarcastic It does not look sarcastic to me, just may be a little retarded ;-) >>I see where you're coming from Claude, I just think (as Dave appears to) that you're wasting your time.... I'm not waisting my time, I'm saving my server time. At a certain time I use to have many errors in the "server too busy" or "memory error" category. I also discovered that a huge amount of the traffic on my server was due to robots, so I decided to control more specifically this traffic. I first optimized the "good robots" like Google, Yahoo, MSN etc using pertinent <meta name="revisit-after" content="n Days"> tags and other tricks. And I also tracked bad bots and fake browsers. Just look at your logs, and you'll be amazed by the amount of traffic caused by - browsers that never request images, probably bots... - "experimental robots" (I don't care if student experiment things, I just don't want to be the guinea pig) - robots that do not embed an address to explain why they are searching your sites, - robots that read all images to detect if one of them is copyrighted and illegally used (huge traffic) - Chinese robot that check if your site should be banned from China because they talk about human rights, - AND also spammers and hackers of course, .... etc. So I designed my own robot detection tools, and spam or SQL injection attempts are only extra tools I use to classify robots and just a drop in the ocean of sh%$/? I'm getting away. ;-) .... and yes, my server is much more stable now. and also, the statistics I show to my customers are realistic. Of course, I also use CFQUERYPARAM as an ultimate protection. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
