Directory Spammed Hard

Has anyone else been spammed hard? I have the email address etched in my brain cause I've literally received hundreds of rubbish submissions from this kid based in Singapore.

 

Time to ban by IP range.

 

By an IP range do you mean the last 2 blocks in an IP address?

How is this achieved in phpLD?

 

its a feature in phpLD V3 (the paid version) which is better then version 2 btw

 

I have phpLD V3, I know the section where to do it, but how do you ban by IP range?

 

YES! I've had that one banned - blocked - forbidden for a while now.

 

Yeah me too, same guy same adress. I even sent him email to stop submiting but he ignored me. He is baned from CPanel now
I baned only that ip where he is submiting from but also don't know how to ban range.

 

can you ban by wild card like 127.0.0.* ? ive not really played about with mine yet.

 

I would imagine you use wildcards I just dont know which ones and what format.

 

Here is a screenshot of the banning section of admin:

I'm familiar with the backend, but can you ban an IP range with phpLD or only a specific IP address?

 

I was just looking into that myself, and still don't have answer.
Hopefully, I can find one for you.

 

OK, thanks David.

 

Hey, I have version 2. Using CAPTCHA verification stops most automated spammers. Also, you can ban IPs using .HTACCESS

In phpLD 3.0.6 you can ban IP ranges

 

About IP ranges, I think you can use, 192.168.100. to ban all IPs that start with that or 127.0. to ban IPs starting with that. I am not sure not sure about the dot at the end of each range. You will have to try it out yourself.

Not the same address but thats not something uncommon,directories are getting spamed often
