SimpleMachines Server issues
butchs:
If a modification will not work it is a high end assault on your server that compromises your upstream protection. But, if it is a low end assault then Bad Behavior is designed for such things. With cache, strict mod, project honeypot and logging off, it will handle large servers with ease, having minimal member blocking. You can run with "Display statistics" of and no-one but the bots will know... :o
CoreISP:
As I said, they are legitimate requests. They are only slightly different from regular requests and go undetected.
I have setup a customised protection setup to handle this and it seems to work out well so far, especially with the nginx setup SleePy made to balance the loads. No need for measures that decrease overall performance.

BB operates on larger sites than this one with no performance issues. It runs in the low millisecond range. The SMF version with cache is faster than all other ports.
All I was trying to do is help. I am glad you have everything under control. Sorry to annoy you...

Just a small point, but one worth making I think - whereas some of the SMF folks might feel a bit miffed, the exchange of information was quite helpful and I appreciate you taking the time. The SMF folks seem quite adept at dealing with such matters, but I would wager there are a large number of members who are not nearly so adept (I am in that category) and having the opportunity to read this exchange of information offers insights and ideas.
Soooo . . . I say THANKS to you and to the SMF folks who participated in the topic.
FWIW
CoreISP:
I thought I replied to this topic.
I was not annoyed :) I appreciate the thinking. The more people that think about something, the better.
There's just a lot more to keep in mind than blocking things while blocking things... If that makes any sense :P So not everything can or should be applied.
