    This thread fits quite well as this is the ultimate upgrade to the IP Trap. Because of this update the IP Trap is now obsolete. For even greater protection one should use the PHPIDS for osCommerce 1.4 by Celextel, http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7374 . It makes use of great features for securing you site as well as the IP Containment and Management System.

    It does not matter where in the list you place the IP number the result should be the same.
    Things to check
    Your IP number has been removed from ther banned file,
    Your IP number is not dynamic
    The files have permissions set to allow them to be opened by the script

    I think its great you have made this contribution, anything that further protects the osCommerce community is well worth adding, well done.

    Nothing to do with XSS. This is just a poor addon. It has an overabundance of flaws and does not secure your site from anything more than a snooping bot or otherwise. Using this will place your payment modules at risk as it may block their callback URLs. It is also very resource intensive. There are much more elegant ways to implement something that will block prying eyes. If you read this topic well you will see that many users suffer from trying to use this addon. This mod appears to be started from an idea posted on these forums between a few other individuals some time back. Perhaps real support can be found in that thread.

    does this mean you kept your word on one of those statements. Is there a real trap available from you?

    It is clear to anyone who reads this guys posts that he can only criticise and bring people down, to me that is not the sign of a nice person and certainly not one I would pay attention to!
    At least Fimble helps and has given a lot of contributions, the other just has bad reputation marks.
    It does not matter to me who made it first, he released it when the others did not so if he had not we would have missed out on a great addon, I use it and have never had a problem with payment services.
    I say thank you for keeping going despite him, and for the updates.

    For those that need direction on adding a link for admin access to the banned_ip.php page, I have updated the install file.
     
    Thanks everyone for your comments. As always there will always be people that would rather run older contributions for various reasons. This is a personal choice, and I wish you all the best of luck no matter what your choices are. For me the choice is clear, I would rather experience the comfort and durability of a Nike VS a no name brand. Gas mileage goes further in a modern vehicle compared to the clunkers of the past. Webster's dictionary is more apt to being correct than others... ect; ect;

    Shoot... I don't know which is more insulting... that it took you so little time to produce one that it would have been less effort to produce something instead of criticizing someone else's efforts? That you could have put your time contributing to help others but chose not to before being called on it? That you would add "Bless you for asking" when you knew that I wasn't asking, just pointing out that you are a loud mouth. Or maybe it's because of people like you that getting help for people less knowledgeable is virtually impossible???
     
    Always amazes me how a question can be ignored because it wasn't asked in the right place or was asked one too many times or that people are ignored because they don't have basic knowledge of all this and people like you show up who apparently have the knowledge and could actually help but would rather spend their time criticizing others and not offering the help this community needs. But then maybe you don't know the meaning of the word.

    I know all of the things he said about the IP Trap being poorly written, at least it works!
    I have just tried his and it does not.
    Nowhere in admin for you to see these IP numbers.
    I have mailed him, but don’t expect any response.
    There is also an amount of spelling errors during the install file, (he pointed out one of mine that is due to the Languages used, and I’m British so it was spelt right for here)
    I think people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
    It is a shame because as you say he could be a benefit to the forum, but would rather try to stop people helping.
    I will stick with the IP trap for now.

    Unless you posted an update to IP Trap Version 3, you posted this on the wrong thread.

    In the UK we spell it that way, guess you do not know everything.
    There is nothing stopping you from adding you own, but i wonder why you seem to have taken a personal dislike to someone who has done so much to help, perhaps not to your liking but has a least tried to help.
    You seem to criticise a lot, it must be difficult being so unhappy at everything, I feel sorry for you.
    I hope you find peace and joy one day.

    Reputation marks are but a joke to say the least. What I offered in this thread was honest advice. I once used this so called IP-Trap and quickly saw it was sub-standard. Yes it works somewhat, but overall is much more difficult than should be. It follows none of the standards used in osCommerce and introduces new functions that replicate already existing ones. The application uses more resources than should be allowed, and even the file size could be reduced considerably.
     
    I do not come here offering thrown together contributions loosely based on the code of others, nor do I then turn around and offer "cheap" support for other things once I have their attention. I have clear conscience and clear intentions. If any one person wants a better suited IP Address containment and management system, then I shall provide every person with one.

    Hi
    This depends on how fast they are coming, the file locks the banned ip file prior to writing to it so if you are getting a lot then this might be a cause, i would not use the IP trap for this reason as you are blocking unsuspecting victims of a phising attempt, users that may well want to be your customers in the near future!
    I would put up a page in the location instead with some helpful information for users so they understand whaat has gone on and how it is nothing to do with the official site there.

    I dont think any version is stable. As I said; IT BLOCKS CERTAIN PAYMENT MODULES FROM SENDING DATA TO ONES SHOP!It is a shame that you released it on 30th April after grabbing it from a topic started on 23rd of April, but could not remember who really wrote the code, so people could get better help from there. http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/300238-ip-banishment/page__hl__list If you can not improve the code for stability then why release it with no public uploads available?

    This so called IPTrap is far from stable. I highly doubt it will ever be stable as I found a topic here where it was created by other forum members. This fimble guy just copied what was in the forum and packaged it like it was his work. Now he cant seem to make a stable release. This IPTrap will block certain payment modules from sending data to your shop. I would stay far away from it and wait for something to come out by people that know what they are doing.
