I am not good at guessing. I need more info... Have you tried the mod?

i got a issue. when i added a new theme to 2.0.1 and reinstalled forum firewall, it now has coding on top of header area. any idea what went wrong?
tgis the coding:
/ ForumFirewall Start $txt['permissionname_forumfirewall_goodgroup'] = 'Forum Firewall Whitelist Group'; $txt['permissionhelp_forumfirewall_goodgroup'] = 'This option will make a member group exempt from the Forum Firewall bandwidth check. This group will not to be tested for Forum Firewall DOS attempts.'; // ForumFirewall End

Those files do not correlate to what I use. Must be a type in the manual install in the new theme.

league · December 21, 2011, 08:52:35 AM

that is what i thought if i remove that new theme do you think that will clear that?

Kindred · December 21, 2011, 09:12:03 AM

it's not a theme problem.... what happened is that you or the system added the language strings after the closing ?> in the language file
(probably modifications.english.php)

league · December 21, 2011, 09:21:07 AM

Tried that, didnt help. hmmm well played around and found it. the mod more spiders did that. so i removed it and all is fine. thank you for listening to me ramble on..lol

May I know if it is possible that it prevent me from logging in to my own site when set wrong? I can't log in to my site right now and the only thing I know of is that I changed some of the setting of forum firewall. What's more strange is that I cant also log in with my other non-SMF sites which I think cannot be the causes since I never made any changes on them and I don't even logged in when the problem happened. Hope somebody can help. Thank you!

I was able to log in to all the sites lately. I checked out the settings and it's at zero already. Thank you!

butchs · December 25, 2011, 10:44:12 AM

That means the mod is not banning anyone. Test it by doing the following:

Uncheck: "Block Violations"
Then check: "Logging" and "HelpEnable Testing ".

Then watch the visitor log and make adjustments.

Hello ,

As you are able to see "hack themes","hack repeated".
Whats going on.................I win or loose.....

Storman™ · January 05, 2012, 09:21:13 AM

butchs will probably explain in detail what you are seeing but I can tell you that the 66.249.64.0/19 IP range is owned by Google so it looks like you are stopping Googlebot on those last three entries.

shubha · January 05, 2012, 09:57:10 AM

Wait. I am not try to stop Google bot or whatever .It is done by this mod. And you are able too see tbe "hack themes" or "hack repeated".What is that.

Remove

Code Select

Themes/|from your injection list. Your forum name should not be in the list. You are blocking innocents.

Hack repeated is just the cache.

Then set up your robots text (search: DDOS HELP) in this thread to find detailed instructions on how to prevent google bot spoofing.

If you select the search above and keep it as search this topic and type DDOS Help you will get this link.

The blocks you show are good blocks 46.17.97.76 is trying to use a script to register to post spam on your site passwords and the other one is trying to hide its address.
