Hi all Our Drupal 7 site is under constant attack from the Chinese. In Rails there is an easy way to redirect pretty much anything off site or to other page/s not in the system and hide the url.
Also is there a better way of hiding the url of user login
I have tried to set up Rules in Drupal 7 to simply redirect [Page not found] responses back to the front page or better still out of the Drupal 7 system completely. I've had no success.
Can someone please direct me on how to set up such a Rule on our site.
I have similar problems with lots of spam hits, feeling like a DoS-attac.
My "solution" to date is IP-blocking in the .htacess.
Drupal is helpful with statistics for that, the reports page has an entry for the most active visitors (statistics enabled, of course) with the IP-numbers shown.
All entries with time sum near (or even higher than) the google-bot normally are spammers. The ip-nr looked up in the searche engine mostly gives enough information to justify ip-blocking.
The most effective way is the .htacess (manual work necessary, yes), if you cannot use .htacess, Drupal can block IPs too (from the report I mentioned above), but of course this consumes more server time.
Godd luck, Servus Franz
