[How To] Apache Ultimate Bad Bot Blocker for CWP

[AlexG]

Hi there, previously I've written a post about this Apache Ultimate Bad Bot Blocker but for some reason I cannot edit/remove that post so I'm starting a new updated one.

1. First, login as root on your CWP server.



2. Make a new directory for the new rules:

Code Select Expand

mkdir -p /usr/local/apache/custom.d

3. Clone git

Code Select Expand

git clone https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/apache-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker.git

4. Copy Apache rules

Code Select Expand

cd /root/apache-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker/Apache_2.4/custom.d && cp -r * /usr/local/apache/custom.d

5. Replace Apache path

Code Select Expand

sed -i "s|/etc/apache2/custom.d|/usr/local/apache/custom.d|g" /usr/local/apache/custom.d/globalblacklist.conf

6. Remove unnecessary files

Code Select Expand

cd /root && rm -rf /root/apache-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker

7. Add new rule to the Apache configuration file

Code Select Expand

nano /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
After the line:

Code Select Expand

#ServerName www.example.com:80
Add:

Code Select Expand

<Location "/">
# AND-combine with preceding configuration sections 
AuthMerging And
# include black list
Include /usr/local/apache/custom.d/globalblacklist.conf
</Location>



Save file (Ctl+O). Exit (Ctl+X)

8. Restart Apache

Code Select Expand

service httpd restart

9. Testing

Code Select Expand

curl -A "80legs" https://your.domain.name
