Spambot coming onto site

Featured Replies

Hey

 

So i look after a company's online side of things as my 9-5 job, web store, blog ect. Anyhow recently i've noted a host and ip-address coming onto the site on a weekly basies, opening upto 500+ pages at once. I didn't build the site it was done by an agency before I started so I don't have any access to hosting accounts ect so I need another way to block the ip.

 

 

82.192.75.151

Host: dutch14.vdx.nl

User Agent: MSIE 4.0b2;

 

They are the details of whatever it is, just want to know how i could block it? and if it is a spambot for sure.

 

Cheers

Is it running on Apache? If so, the easiest way would be to add a deny block to the root .htaccess file:

 

order allow,deny
deny from 82.192.75.151
allow from all

 

It is indeed, so i will add this to the htacess file +1
