Title: mod_wl: Getting those unwanted user agents
Post by: matrixnad on August 04, 2014, 04:48:48 AM
Hey guys,

So I am writing a module that prevents user's that spoof there agent
from accessing websites. Actually it is for people that disguise themselves
as 'search engines'. It catches this by reverse-dns to forward-dnsing a client's
ip address. Kind of like: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/80553?hl=en

It is still a work in progress albeit should be good to go in tests, if you guys have the time please let me know what your suggestions and/or concerns are.

Already looked at it, needs much work if you want it to compile for Windows (Visual C++) compiled versions of Apache.
