I have been working with Isabella (Biancoblu) who has been testing this for me pre release, and post release, and has been an invaluable help.
She has an index solution that can be used to protect your banned folder which does not have an index.
I have given her access to the IP Trap uploads so maybe she will upload this to be included
Nic

Nic, I have uploaded the package you mentioned to your IP Trap.

This is a way of blocking the listing of folders by uploading a fake index to the folder in question.
When you call the folder in a browser the fake index will load so you won't be able to see the list of files contained in the folder.
The page will show the date and time of visit, the visitor's IP number, the folder they tried to view, and browser info. Infos will be emailed to you.
***WARNING: do not use in folders that already contain an index.php file!***

Nic, again thanks for your IP trap and all your other great contributions.

Hi Nic

I wish to let you know the previous version worked for me. I can't get banned when I go to your new url.

Nic, as with Leslie my previous version worked.  That was 2.1 for me.

I can access http://www.development-server.net/j/personal, it takes me to http://www.development-server.net/j/index.php

The same thing happens on my site, when I put in the ****/personal URL I go to my index page instead.

Outside of that thanks for your work, I know enough about code use (in vb for applications) to know it can be an adventure.  

I'd be glad to help with testing if you want.

Thanks

Steve

Hi,
I tried the trap and it banned me, i tried a few pages and it seems to work.
The Permissions should be set to
banned folder - 755
the two .txt files inside should be 666

Thanks for the feed back

it should not matter what your browser is, i need to have a look at the code again, using the amount of E-Mails i am getting confirming banned people it seems a small minority are having a problem.

Nic, for what it's worth I messed around a bit tonight with the contrib and got some interesting results.

I deleted Whitelist.txt from my directory, ran my store url and go the pHp missing file error, etc. stuff.

I re-uploaded Whitelist.txt and then ran the ****/personal URL and got the blocked action, ****/blocked.php.

I checked in IP_Trapped.txt and found my IP and the 999.999.999.999

I cleared my IP and made sure I could get to my store.  I could.

I tried to do the ****/personal thing again, but got *****/index.php instead.  ***** of course being my store url.

Don't know if that helps but I thought I'd pass it along.

Hi Steve
Thanks i appreciate the feedback, its always welcome so long as it is constructive and aids a better add on.
This action is correct so long as you are included in the whitelist.txt
Some users have had problems whereby they are not in the whitlist and get redirected back to the index.php
I obviously have to sort this out, point of interest is that it happens mainly in Australia.

A point to note is that you cannot exist in both files, if you are in the Whitelist and the IP_Trapped.txt the IP_Trapped.txt over rides and has priority.
I am busy with paid stuff at present, but will get round to an update soon.

Thanks once again Steve.

I have found this is good addon in version 2.1 but when i upgrade into version 3 it not working. I just tested and i find my ip have not banned when i type www.bnetb-tanahabang.com/personal two or three time. Any idea about this issue?

I was using other computer to test my IP trap and it is working, but when i try to test with my computer the IP trap doesn't work, and i have checked in the whitelist.txt and banned.txt that my IP was not there. Sorry for my bad english.

But this addon still some great contributions for me. Thank You

[FIMBLE]

Hmm i need to look into the code when i have the time.
Thank you for the feedback.

I'm also having the same problem.  I've installed 3 times now and my personal folder redirects to the catalog of my site while not adding my IP to IP_Trapped.  I have two probable causes I can think of:

1. I use a catalog directory. Is there any code change other than specified needed if you are not running your store from the root directory?

2. I have a redirect in htaccess that rewrites my root store address and index page to my store catalog folder for SEO. Could my redirects be causing it?

rewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^www\.mystore\.com
rewriteRule ^(.*)$          http://www.mystore/catalog/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.php$ http://www.mystore/catalog/$1 [R=301,L]

HI
I do not think this is a cause.
Until i get this sorted out (it only seems to impact a very small percentage of users) i would reccomend using the earlier version without the whitelist, i am sooo busy with paid work at present i do not have time to look at this for the forseeable
Nic

I installed v2.1 and it worked!   Thank you!  Please let me know if you figure out why the whitelist was failing.

[djdeuce]

Hmm, this is odd. You cannot checkout on my site now without getting an error. Is there something I need to change for my ssl? I've taken this contribution off my site for now until I can figure this out.  I'm guessing it is the secret.php addition to application_top making this error?

An error occurred while trying to report this transaction to the merchant. An e-mail has been sent to the merchant informing them of the error. The following is the result of the attempt to charge your credit card.
      This transaction has been approved.
It is advisable for you to contact the merchant to verify that you will receive the product or service.


Anyone else have this error?

[djdeuce]

Ok, so this is obviously something to do with my ssl.  I changed the require statement in application_top.  The trap works now and customers can check out in my shop again.......but the blocked.php gets an error and does not display correctly.  Here is what i changed and the error I get now on blocked.php:

Changed:
// include the IP Trap
  require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'secret.php');

To:
// include the IP Trap
  if ($request_type == 'NONSSL')
    include(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'secret.php');

Error on blocked.php:
Warning: include(DIR_WS_CLASSESlanguage.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/arrowshe/public_html/products/blocked.php on line 9
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'DIR_WS_CLASSESlanguage.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php52/pear') in /home/arrowshe/public_html/products/blocked.php on line 9
Fatal error: Class 'language' not found in /home/arrowshe/public_html/products/blocked.php on line 10

My shop works correctly like this and I think the IP trap is working....but for cosmetic reasons or if a real customer gets blocked and I need to unblock them, does anyone know how I can fix this?  Any ideas Fimble?  

Thanks!
