As I am typing this post to my website is being attacked from a place in Japan, what these sily guy(s) are/is doing is to eat my bandwidth, they keep posting rubbish into the comment box I attached to each post, they found their way into my database, even though I have changed my cpanel pass but this is still going on. Have mailed my host, but I just want to see what I can do before they do something 1 Like |

What's your websites name? Is it a content management system? If it is! Download a spam protector, like hilary has suggested! And if its d traditional php....find a way to add a captcha code or some form of verification before the comment can be posted.as well...google a way to hide ur email in your code... 1 Like |

Iam_Godzilla: What's your websites name? Its not a cms, I code it from scratch. The comment box is ownly meant for registerd members, however ino one registered so how commemts kept showing for each posts is what I don't undersatnd, As for the captcha, I hate it with great passion, if I visit a site and I see it, I just move on to the next, that's why I didn't want to use it for mine This is the site www.naitalk.com I have writen a script now to delete the comments, even with real ones |

I have a robot on my server to block unwanted IPs, but its been almost 2years since I updated it, do you think that will work cos I don't know what the robot was looking at while I was been attacked 8 Likes |

rutchiekens: I just thought of something , I won't delete those comments again, all I will do now is frustrate that spam bot with my own. Blocking Ips isn't a good idea, I agree with you on that |

To take things further, you can block the entire Japan IP addresses using dot htaccess. Blocking the entire IP addresses of a country will block potential visitors to your website from the country. There are other ways as well, but the choice is yours. Hope this helps. 4 Likes |
Re: My Website Is Under Attack!! by IamGodzilla: 2:48pm On Jul 05, 2014 |
I wouldn't suggest blocking ip adresses, why? Because of 1. What if I goto japan and decide to visit ur site? 2. What if am using an isp in nigeria that somewhat uses some technology in japan, which gives a japan ip address... 3. If you do not want to use captcha, why not use the mathematical form, where they just have to add or subtract numbers! That isn't much. 4. You could go through your logs and find out what ip address has been visiting your site, and if possible what page of the site. Its from there you could find what 'specific ip address to block' But u should also know, hackers,spammers don't usually use their real ip addresses.... 5. As for akismet.....I only know its been used on cms .but hey google is your friend. 3 Likes |

Godzilla thanks so much I realy appreciate it, I have tried my own method which I know will work, am not even going to delete the spams, have carefuly stored them to be used along with the IPs, even if it scale through this the first time, on the next try it won't be possible, |
