phpBB Discussion • Re: Claudebot attack

This definitely seems like a new one and I'm seeing many instances on my boards.

What does your .htaccess do with bad_bot?

Here's the tail end of mine that denies anything defined as bad_bot

Code:

# 28-Mar-24, P_I, another one to banishBrowserMatchNoCase "claudebot" bad_botOrder Deny,AllowDeny from env=bad_bot

Thank you for this, as I just had an attack by that bot tonight. This fixed it.

The Block Bad Bots HTACCESS I have on my extensions board might block it as it is, and/or you can add Claudebot to the list of blocked bots

8G is very good so I use it, but it does not block this bot. I decided to block Claudebot with a different set of lines separate from that, the same code that P_I uses, since I do not feel skilled enough to tamper with 8G itself.
