As most hosting company owners know, rapidleech is a very bad script which causes high CPU loads and abuses the server a lot. I do get a lot of abusive users like this on my shared hosting server, running the rapidleech script and abusing the server so much. I have to terminate, at least a few people a day. This is getting to be really annoying.
Is there anyway to block the rapidleech script for a cPanel/WHM server?
I've read that you can do this using Mod Security, but what do I put in my mod security configuration to block it?
Rapidleech is a script that allows anyone to upload the script to a server to download via rapidshare/megaupload to the server, which uses lots of hard drive, CPU, and RAM.
I've been advertising a bit recently trying to get some more clients and so far its been working. I've been offering 1 month free on any shared service using a promo code.
I've noticed alot of signups from various locations are running a script called rapidleech, should I be concerned about this? I've never heard of it, seems to be some sort of file sharing system.
I want to set up a website that will run rapidleech and torrentflux. But my shared hosting account just isn’t cutting it anymore. It worked for awhile, but then they set stupid php resource limitations in and the scripts don’t work anymore. So I want an upgrade.
Should I look at VPS or Dedicated? I don’t want to spend more than $50/month, so I’m guessing that a crappy dedicated server is all I can get. There are some specific things that I would like to be able to do with my account.
1. WinRAR – I need to be able to pack and unpack files in the winrar format on my website through FTP. Would I need Linux/Unix or Windows hosting for this? I honestly am clueless about this.
2. Ability to run Rapidleech and TorrentFlux
3. Do I need to look for hosting that gives “root access” whatever that means? Someone told me that if I want to install WinRAR I must have “root access.”
some Chinese forums hotlinking images from my site and I even delete those images they keep sending me huge amount of http requests to my hosting server and eating 800mb of memory and upto 1GB cause server crash
I tried to block incoming referrer traffic from those sites using htaccess but it didn't work , I still see their http request on my server logs and memory keep goes high , am not sure my code is the right
how can I block these http request from these domains , what is the right htaccess code , I use DirectAdmin panel by the way
I'm currently experiencing a lot of IP's starting with 200 and 201 (from Brazil) some IP’s have over 200 connections. I have APF installed and want to know how to block a block on ip's if this is possible. IPS: 200.11.******* 201.*******
Fortigate appliances blocking an IP that is not in RBLs I have a problem with the IP 66.187.108.157 of my VPS it seems to be blocked by Fortigate appliances, as you can see in this error message:
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:[url] host mail.am.com.pe [200.62.221.107]: 554 5.7.1 This message has been
blocked because it is from a FortiGuard - AntiSpam black IP address.(connection black ip 66.187.108.157)
However I have searched in this URL [url]and it is clean.
Any ideas on how to have/force Fortigate databases to become updated.
I'm having difficulties with a whm running on centos dedicated server. The problem is that we receive too much of spam and junk emails. by too much I mean 2000 bulks per week. It's killing us.
Is there any way to block a particular ISP? Have a visitor that changes IP hourly, but the IP always resolves back to a hostname like dsl.yuns.sksk.uk .
I have CSF installed. Any way to block all visitors from dsl.yuns.sksk.uk?
I set up a forum for a small group of users, so I don't really wish to see spiders or bots on it, so I've put a robots.txt file there to prevent all of them from accessing the forum pages.
I know not all bots follow the robots.txt rule, and these days a really annoying bot called MUNAXNET or Munax AB with IP range 82.99.30.0 - 82.99.30.127 is causing the forum to have extra and unexpected loads.
I've tried to block this IP range with .htaccess and uploaded it to the root of the site a few days ago, here is the content:
<Limit GET HEAD POST> order allow,deny deny from 82.99.30.0-82.99.30.127 allow from all </LIMIT> However strangely it seems that all of these are not working for this bot, today I saw my forum had 80 users online and that army still keeps coming and browsing all pages of my forums...
I tested the .htaccess with blocking myself, and it actually worked for me, dunno why it's not working for that bot..
I was just researching my log analyzers to see whats happening... I noticed something new in the logs, a large number of unnamed robots or spiders... so I found the robot... it was this:
After some reading, sites say the ip belongs to spider26.yandex.ru
For simply security reasons, would it be in best interest to block the entire subnet? It seems that the same IP ending in .25 belongs to spider25.yandex.ru
I know I can do port scans, and it can alert you to a whole bunch of false positvies, but is it blocking/detecting any serious attacks on your web server?
I have a Juniper firewall. I'm seeing a ton of traffic from the Twiceler bot in the range of 100,000 hits a day. Luckily they've more recently put up a list of IP addresses their bots use at:
[url]
So, I'm blocking all of these now. However I think it's a simple Netmask issue I'm having. I'm blocking all ports from
However, I am still seeing the bot in server log files. Could it be that I should not be specifying .0 at the end, but instead .1? Like this in the policy?
I have spamassassin configured its working 90% but still I am receiving mails from my ID only. Like I have info@domain.com so I am receiving mail from info@domain.com to info@domain.com.
How do I block known proxy sites such as anonymouse.org or such via CSF (firewall)? I'll need to block by domains, wildcard domains (such as *proxy.tld) and IP's.
What is the proper way and is there a nice list of such proxies? I'm trying to prevent some degenerate troll from accessing my forum.
I Have APF and BFD Installed but it always seems to show 80 odd events before blocking the IP. Is there a way of setting it to say 10 wrong attempts?
I Tried this, but it hasn't done a thing. below happened after the change.

I am seeing quite a few hacking attempts coming from the TOR network. I'd like to block the TOR network on the firewall level. Anyone know how to block them?
There is a python script, but I am not familiar with Python at all and do not know how run this script. It is supposed to extract all current IP Addresses and provide a list.
I think they have about 450 IP addresses and I would like to block them.
I currently have a private server in my office which has cPanel and APF installed. The server only allows one static IP to access SSH, at the moment I'm away and don’t have a static IP on my current ISP connection so cannot access SSH.
Is there a way to add say 123.456.000.000 which would allow all IP's in the 123.456 block?
What would you think about creating a big text file with IPs of known hackers, bots and similar "bad" creatures to keep out from our servers? Do you think it's worth it?
