Why is wowrack.com crawling my site?

Quote from PJK

I have tried blocking the IP but I still see it in the users online.

Blacklisted by the WSC's feature (which will return a permission denied message, but list the user as online) or a real block using htaccess/webserver's configuration?

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from 127.0.0.1

... In this case, you will block 127.0.0.1...

This will work, i prefer to block IPs via iptables, because htaccess needs always to be read and processed by the webserver for every call...

iIf you just only block a few addresses, it is fine. If you want to block big ranges, you should prefer another way not to stress your webserver and its performance

And blocking via web server is always better than blocking it via your software running on your web server.

Wowrack looks to be a hosting company. Chances are a (potentially) nefarious third party is 'shotgunning' (brute force scanning and crawling huge portions of) the internet looking for weaknesses in websites so they can do whatever it is nefarious third parties do.

IP blocks have become less and less effective in recent years mostly due to the exhaustion of the IpV4 address space (IPs need to be constantly changing to help alleviate the exhaustion).

In the case of blocking a hosting company, though, you can generally (but not always) block the entire range of IP addresses that a hosting company uses. A brief Google search didn't immediately reveal Wowracks IP range. If you do find they have an IP address range, TheSonic's suggestion of IPTables (or some other firewall software) is the most performant choice for blocking an IP range.

It's not very likely to do much good, but you could also contact the abuse email for Wowrack, found here.

Looks like he took his forum down again for the 500th time.

I didn't know why wowrack website is down for me.

Don't worry Paul. I can afford to buy all the licences I want. But I don't run a forum now, I stopped running a forum ages ago.

Unlike you, who never knows when to call it quits. You look daft keep talking to yourself each time you bring it back again, which is usually every week.

Working Paul. But still see you and your mates are up the same old thing at BASH.zone.

Laughable you lot... well no, it kind of sad really.

Could you please stop dispute again. That’s annoying and has nothing to do with the topic in this thread. And besides that, nobody is interest in your private disputes.

Then why not just ignore him?

They are still busy with IP

216.244.66.236

There are several remarks on stop spam pages, when you search for this IP.
