Deny IP address

[pstnguy]

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.

Hi

Did you tried to search the official documentation for the word "deny" ?

There you will find explanation on how to use the [tt]Deny[/tt] directive.

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?
