I am copping upto 50 access violations per day, 90% of them from 1 of 4 subnets and instead of banning each IP address I would like to ban the entire subnets they are comming from, eg 66.249.65.74 is one of many similar addresses instead of individually banning 66.249.64.0 thru 66.249.95.255 I wish I could enter 66.249.64.0/19 and be done with that group of trouble makers.

I'm also curious about cron appearing to be run by these unauthorised users.

Best way is right in your .htaccess file: order allow,deny deny from 66.249.64.0/19 allow from all That way the troublemakers won't even bother eating up server resources when they hit Drupal. If this is a server you manage, than even better is to block them in IPTables. Jamie Holly http://hollyit.net On 1/2/2015 10:26 PM, mick wrote:
