note 60406 added to security.hiding

I think, it's not a good idea to ban attacking host's IPs automatically. You will ban lots of that IPs that ISPs dynamically assign to their customers as they connect to the internet. You will ban lots of innocent people just because they got an IP assigned, that was previously used by a script kiddy. I name that a self-DOS, as your site will become unusable for most users over time! Additionally, i do not think, that the firewall will perform better, as the ruleset gets bigger and bigger. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.hiding.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60406 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60406&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60406&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60406&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60406&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60406&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60406&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60406&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60406&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
