Brute force attackers IP address list
Hacker bots are continuously poking my sites looking for vulnerabilities:
For an additional layer of protection I'm constantly adding offending addresses into a hosting-wide block list:
deny from 196.251.72.213
If a subnet xxx.yyy.*.* is encountered more than three times, I'm blocking it entirely:
deny from xxx.yyy.0.0/16
The list is an Apache config-file and also contains exclusions for the most popular file targets and Cloudflare addresses:
<Files "*"> order allow,deny allow from all deny from xxx.yyy.zzz.qqq ... #Cloudflare allow from 103.21.244.0/22 ... </Files> <Files "xmlrpc.php"> order deny,allow deny from all </Files> <Files "wp-config-sample.php"> order deny,allow deny from all </Files>
Since this list has more than three thousand records already, it could be useful for the wider public. Download available without registration and updated weekly: blocked-ips.conf
