I think I may have found an exploit in one of the CMS blocks that alows spammers to flood the site.
Recently I turned on the Referers Block and as soon as I did I started to get a noted increase in trafic to my site, I would also continuosly have 14 to 18 user visiting at any one time, if I checked the IP addresses of these users some were blacklisted some were clear, usually about 50/50.
Having finally got some time to look at the problem last night, I started to go through my CrackerTracker logs, and found that CrackerTracker had blocked some of the addresses. I manually blocked the rest of the blacklisted ones myself.
"http://vipsefeed.com"
"http://bigcatllc.com"
These two were continually trying to access my site, also in the crackertracker log it said under the heading of Appeal, /referrers.php?. This was listed as the only attempted page that they were blocked for.
A copy of the log file is included below, it should also be noted that as soon as I turned of the referers block at 23:06 the cracker tracker log stops recording any attempts to flood my site.
Hope this infomation helps.
