Post Massive Spider Attack 
 
Hi

Got a small problem with one of my users pages.

Results that he´s having massive spider attacks from rumanien sites, but all using an american spider,

called 80.legs

turns out to use up to 80 conections or more at the time, driving the server cpu use, nearly into red area.

 spider

the funny thing is, it uses ip´s from rumania etc

but we can´t off course block IP by IP, by the time you finnish with your list, he´s back with new IP´s. And look´s like theres no way to block them by spider id ( tried it, but it´s still there).


Any idea how to get rid of this ???

Edit:

Searching 80.legs website, i found This

Any idea how to include this spider into the robot block list??

By htaccess or by robot text

Deny the access from all the range of the network (if you don't care of Romanians)

for example: I found today on the error log someone that was trying to find files that doesn't exist my place (usually they search for the "links" mod or the "knowledge base" mod (I've uninstalled it)).

So in order to prevent the IP change I banned the whole network, you can find the range easily without calculation using whois.domaintools.com

for example if the ip is

58.22.0.0

the range is from 58.22.0.0 to 58.22.1.255

and the line in the .htaccess is

deny from 58.22.0.0/15

(you can find the range "58.22.0.0/15" in the site's page, but there are other site's that can make the calculation for you, I forgot the links, sorry   )

well for first thing i did put the spider id in the tracker *008*.

took about 10 minutes , and all 80 legs conections were gone.

now i probably start to block ukrainiens "ru" range.

turns out that they´re trying to access referers list
