Hackers using /admin/ on every url on site - How to stop?

I have hundreds on entries on my 404 page of people trying to access /admin/ on every url on my site in the shop category, is there a way to either ban or block them.
Or use htaccess to redirect them to another place?

What is the best option?

e.g.

/shop/new-post/4/37819/admin/
/shop/new-world-software/7/23234/admin/

 

It would probably be a good idea to set up a 404-redirect to your homepage, although, that won't stop the problem of people trying to access your admin panel to your site. I'd suggest that if you do have a folder named 'admin' on your site that you block it via your robots.txt file so that there are no traces of it in the search engines; if at all possible, rename it to something hard to guess.

As far as the IPs of the people doing this...you might want to block an entire range of IPs (possibly GEO-block) to prevent them from even accessing your site.

 

thanks, will have a look into that

 

beside having php coded password protected page. you can also use .htaccess passworded directory

 

Well...You could add a rewrite rule...Thats probably the best way to handle it.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^admin$ - [F]


Message me if you need help with it.

 

will have a look into modifying my htaccess

 

better if have dedicated server install mod_security it will do the reset of the job
