Hello,

My Pastebin for .HTACCESS

http://pastebin.com/edHRNhPz

If you can offer any tips on improvements..

but the main reason: I cannot get the bots to stop showing up.

Esp the first one in the list.

I need to block these two specifically

Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8

&

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ja; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090402 Firefox/3.6a1pre (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
I've tried using various combo but unsuccessful.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

there's a vbulletin multiposter for warez websites.

1 - its a older version that got cracked n used by 10's thousands to post crap, its UA is fixed.

2- Another Multiposter that is disguised as FF.

I want them both blocked.


oh and sorry bot wasn't the exact word. should have been UserAgents

Here is a site that describes what to do to block user agents using the .htaccess:

I don't know if the OP is still interested as the last response was several months ago, but I hope this is of help.
