IP Blocker

[bernieberg]

Hi Guys,

Just got into phpids yesterday. I needed a way to protect some of the older sites I manage. Seems to work great, but I wanted a way to ban ip addresses without too much hassle. So I wrote this simple class to handle it:

https://github.com/bernieberg/phpids...master/Ips.php

This is how I use it:
just look at the lines that have comments above them, i left the rest in there just for context.

$phpids_file_root = dirname(__FILE__);

$phpids_html_fields = array();
$phpids_ignore_fields = array(	'REQUEST.item_description', 
								'POST.item_description', 
								'REQUEST.category_description', 
								'POST.category_description');
// this is the class that handles ip blocking
require_once 'Ips.php';
$phpids_user_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
//  arguments are $log_file, $block_duration=7200, $block_hits=5
$phpids_ips = new IDS_Ips($phpids_file_root.'/IDS/tmp/ips.txt');

set_include_path(
	get_include_path()
	. PATH_SEPARATOR
	. $phpids_file_root
);

require_once 'IDS/Init.php';
$phpids_request = array(
  'REQUEST' => $_REQUEST,
  'GET' => $_GET,
  'POST' => $_POST,
  'COOKIE' => $_COOKIE
);

$phpids_init = IDS_Init::init($phpids_file_root.'/IDS/Config/Config.ini');

$phpids_config = $phpids_init->getConfig();
$phpids_config["General"]["base_path"] = $phpids_file_root.'/IDS/';
$phpids_config["General"]["html"] = $phpids_html_fields;
$phpids_config["General"]["exceptions"] = $phpids_ignore_fields;
$phpids_init->setConfig($phpids_config, true);

$phpids_ids = new IDS_Monitor($phpids_request, $phpids_init);
$phpids_result = $phpids_ids->run();

if (!$phpids_result->isEmpty()) {
        // log a hit for this  ip address
	$phpids_ips->logHit($phpids_user_ip);
        // write the log file
	$phpids_ips->writeLog();
	exit;
}

if ($phpids_ips->isBlocked($phpids_user_ip)) {
      // don't let this ip address continue
	exit;
}

If you look at the source, it should make sense, it's pretty simple. I'm sorry if there is something out there that already does this and I missed it.


Thanks!

That's pretty interesting! I'll have a close look before our next release and consider mentioning it in the release post.
