Forum Firewall offers 13 tests for the forum operator that protect against unwanted visitors.  Forum Firewall is written as a supplement to existing site protection methods and should not be the only line of protection.  An ideal protection scheme is as follows:

* Proxy Firewall.
* Htaccess protection such as blocking nasty ip addresses, CrawlProtect and GeoIP.
* Forum Firewall (this mod).
* Avatar Verification.
* Bad Behavior mod.
* Stop Spammer.
The above protection will not stop a determined attacker but it just may send them looking for easier targets.


Some features in this modification:

* Compatible with CloudFlare and other Proxys.
* Log and/ or block violations.
* DOS Protection to lower bandwidth with cool off & email notification.
* Admin Spoofing Protection.
* IP Address Spoofing Protection.
* Port Spoofing Protection.
* Anti-spoofing cache.
* Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Protection.
* SQL Injection Protection.
* Proxy Bypass Prevention.
* Limited Country Code blocking.
* Automatic scan of image files.
* Provides spanish warning if it is detected in header (thanks snoopy_virtual).

SMF 1.x version does not have:  Automatic scan of image files.

It is recommended that you do not enable "Block Violations" until after you operated the mod for several days and you are fully confident that there are no infractions in the visitor logs that can deny you or your top members access.

flapjack:
finally, it really is one awesome mod :) I thought you gave up on submitting it

butchs:
Thanks guys I was getting close.  I guess the problem was indexing of member groups with some of the original versions of SMF that I did not know about.  I have been working on a workaround all morning.  I still have to test the code.  Will include it in the next version.
