The IP Trap,

This will add protection to your site to prevent explicit attacks by snoopers, bad bots, and any other scum bag that wants to harm your site.

How it works in brief.....
In your robots.txt file there is code that disallows robots (search engines) from indexing certain files and folders, the trap has a folder called personal with an index.php file inside it, the personal folder is at the top of the robots.txt, now all good search engine bots will follow this and not go there, bad bots go right for it, upon accessing the folder they activate the index.php an the trap is sprung.

The bots IP number is now written to an IP_Trapped .txt file and redirected to a blocked.php page, there is a separate script that monitors every single users IP number that visits your site and compares it to the IP_Trapped.txt stored IP numbers, when one matches it is instantly redirected to the blocked.php page, and until the IP number is removed from the IP_Trapped.txt this blocked page is all the IP user will ever see!

 V. 2 Is stable, but without a whitelist.

Version 4 Released!
The most stable and effective IP Trap with white list yet.
Re-coded and streamlined, some users have had problems with the return token from PayPal I have removed this layer of security to prevent its occurrence, this has taken weeks of testing to perfect, and is an easy install, built mainly for osCommerce, I have not included the tep_redirect calls, or any other osC calls, this is so it is it can easily be ported to an HTML site (please ask for a quote for this).

Released here first.

If you do not want a whitelist function please use V.2 from the drop down.

Coming soon for osCommerce users, protect your admin side with the trap.
Instructions posted soon.
