Fedora Core 6, with Apache 2.2 installed. I have numerous entries in my logs for computers trying to hack my website.

How do I deny an IP address from the site? Would these site all be 'deny' entries in httpd.conf? Or is there a simple list that needs to be modified?

Thanks in advance.
 
If the person doing this is interested, he could also attemp to get in through other ports as well. You may want to deny his ip at the system level with /etc/hosts.deny
 
RhythmAce,
I was looking for a system level deny, thank you for the info.

at /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

change following configuration?
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>

something like

Allow from all
Deny 84.21.103.120

perhaps?
