IP Tracker & Blacklister

6/10/2019 - Category: coding, strategy,

I had some minor security issues with my former Wordpress website. Since I coded this website from scratch, I'm able to keep adding cool features to it.

I decided to code an IP and referrer tracker in order to monitor visits and to automatically ban suspect IPs. It turned out to be super interesting and very efficient.

For example, I discovered that my website was being scanned on a regular basis by influencer companies but also by bad bots constantly looking for weakness to proceed to attacks. Some of these bad bots are not very smart though... They always come from the same referrer, meaning they're super easy to detect and therefore very easy to ban...
