CIDRAM

Beschreibung

CIDRAM (Classless Inter-Domain Routing Access Manager) is a PHP script designed to protect websites by blocking requests originating from IP addresses regarded as being sources of undesirable traffic, including (but not limited to) traffic from non-human access endpoints, cloud services, spambots, scrapers, etc. It does this by calculating the possible CIDRs of the IP addresses supplied from inbound requests and then attempting to match these possible CIDRs against its signature files (these signature files contain lists of CIDRs of IP addresses regarded as being sources of undesirable traffic); If matches are found, the requests are blocked.

Requirements

  • PHP >= 7.2.0
  • PCRE

Updating

Note: CIDRAM does not interact in any way with your database, and stores its own configuration settings, customisations, and related materials as flatfiles within its own directory. If you’ve not changed any of the default configuration settings and if you’re not using any customisations for this plugin, updating normally via the plugins dashboard, without need for any additional steps, should be sufficient and shouldn’t cause any problems. However, if you’ve modified the configuration settings for CIDRAM, or if you’ve made any customisations, I would recommend making backups of all of these prior to updating, due to that updating will overwrite all settings and customisations (after updating, you can then restore your customisations from your backups). Alternatively, if you update via the CIDRAM front-end updates page, all settings and customisations should be preserved.

I could write an in-depth review, pointing out why CIDRAM is the most underrated WP security plugin, ever. However, I’ll simply say this…I’ve been using WP since V2.6 (circa 2008). Over the years, I’ve tried all manner of security plugins, as well as other scripts. ZBBlock which CIDRAM is loosely based upon, I found was the best of the best. Hackers, Script Kiddies, Bad Bots, scrappers and other nefarious evil doers, don’t stand a chance again CIDRAM.Best of all, no database calls… Take my advice, if you want to protect your WP site as best as you can (nothing is 100% safe), and you want to avoid bloat, install CIDRAM, I doubt many, if any, will regret that decision.Cheers

Having been a longtime user of ZB Block I was well aware of CIDRAM which was integrated with it. I needed something relatively simpler than ZBB (I.E. a GUI) to use for few fellow admins. CIDRAM fits that bill. That said, CIDRAM is not for the novice admin. Read the excellent documentation thoroughly before installing.

<p>This plugin is excellent. Have only used for one day and and can tell the difference in garbage traffic on site.</p> <p>Only issue is it is blocking Bing and Google bots at random.</p> <p>Know it is a free plugin, but pretty serious when dealing with important SE bots.</p> <p> </p> <p>UPDATE: Code has drastically improved and can now say impressed with the whole system. Pushing my rating to 5 stars!</p>
