Secure your site with an IP trap
for osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2

This add-on is register_globals compatible

Will work with any version 2.2 and onwards

This contribution traps bad bots and anyone taking too much interest is you site
It’s a full contribution that is automatic and hassle free for you to have.
It offers you security from some of the nasty’s out there.

The contribution works by setting up a trap in a folder that only bad bots, or someone poking around in your site will come across (hackers use the Robots.txt to try and find sensitive file on your server) it then redirects then to a message page that tells them they are blocked, at the same time writing their IP number to file.
If they try to return they will only get the blocked message.

If you want to see it in action go to
http://www.opensourcecommerce.net/personal you will be banned but will also see it working, please contact me to un-ban you!!!

Contribution is a culmination of various forums and some work of my own, thank you to all those who have been part of the topic, I cannot remember who they are but let me know and I will put your credit on file.


Files to change are :-
.htaccess (optional)
Index.php
Plus some new files.

ALWAYS BACK UP FIRST !!

IP Trap Version 4

This release has updated code and a re-coded whitelist set.
The includes / secret has been overhauled and a lot of code removed
The code did check for an empty useragent which gave some problems with return tokens, i have removed this layer of security.
Added a php.ini file (in the instructions) for those that have fopen() disabled.

A very big thank you to
Coopco and newtest for testing this release, and for their valuable feedback.

Forum address is http://forums.oscommerce.com/topic/340290-ip-trap-version-3-released/
Please post your comments there.

I suggest that anyone who already uses the IP trap upgrade to this version.

Easy install of around 10 minutes, please read the included readme before installing and as always back up.

All files are drop in, no osCommerce files are replaced.
