Re: Favorite way to ban an IP from your webserver?



 You can also utilize methods to automatically block hosts, without 
manual intervention, say after three seperate TCP ports receive 
incoming requests from remote hosts.  You should auto-block on cases 
like this if you can, an think it is necessary, but you are not likely 
being specifically targeted.  If you are, you have larger issues. 
Just stay patched, keep a low attack surface, and if possible, don't 
keep any unnecessary ports open to the public.  If you need something 
like SSH, and only you you utilize it, think about utilizing single 
packet authentication like fwknop...
