It seems the rule is not blocking the referers I need to. This is an extract of the site-error_log of one site: [Sat Nov 05 21:11:05 2011] [error] [client 176.14.112.166] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/apache22/data/site/gallery2, referer: http://clubmedia-ent.com/film/contact.html [Sat Nov 05 22:46:37 2011] [error] [client 95.27.181.153] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/apache22/data/site/gallery2, referer: http://multidicona.com/ [Sun Nov 06 12:07:29 2011] [error] [client 95.26.196.133] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/apache22/data/site/gallery2, referer: http://multidicona.com/ [Sun Nov 06 12:07:53 2011] [error] [client 95.25.98.97] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/apache22/data/site/gallery2, referer: http://www.multidicona.com/electronica.html I want to get rid of the attacks from "clubmedia-ent.com" and "www.multidicona.com", how can I block these?. This is the .htaccess for the site: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} st\.ac\.th [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} clubmedia-ent\.com [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} multidicona\.com [NC] RewriteRule .* - [F] Thanks in advance,Leonardo M.
