How do I auto-ban IPs that are simply requesting too many pages?
My host blocked my domain dailycrowdsource.com saying that I'm using too much CPU usage.
I looked in some logs & see that certain IPs are simply requesting too many URLs. One IP accessed approximately 100 URLs in 1 minute. Here's one of the URLs: http://dailycrowdsource.com/crowdsourcing-help/english-forums/user/198-renan-kaminski
This is not a valid link, but nothing is "malicious" about it, meaning, it can't be flagged as a login attempt or including PHP in it.
His IP: 208.115.113.84
I *think* that the problem is the quantity of requests. Is there a way to block this?
This is something my host sent me:
(snippet):
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
1747 mysql 15 0 369m 77m 6592 S 33.9 0.9 26:25.64 /usr/xxx datadir=/var/xxx --plugin-dir=/usr/xxxx
7423 crowdreb 34 18 80228 38m 8784 R 12.5 0.5 0:01.30 /usr/bin/php <root joomla site>/index.php
I really hope AdminTools can block this, as it's caused my site to be taken down :(
