Hi!
I have made some changes…
I have added this 3 rules:

Code:
SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:User-Agent "@rx (?:AhrefsBot)" "msg:'AhrefsBot Spiderbot blocked',phase:1,log,id:7777771,t:none,block,status:403"
SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:User-Agent "@rx (?:MJ12bot)" "msg:'MJ12bot Spiderbot blocked',phase:1,log,id:7777772,t:none,block,status:403"
SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:User-Agent "@rx (?:Yandex)" "msg:'Yandex Spiderbot blocked',phase:1,log,id:7777773,t:none,block,status:403"

With these 3 rules i know in the “hits list” what is going on with each bot and what is hitting the rule, because they are being logged separately.

If i understand right the bots still have access to sites, but they receive 0bytes and an 403 http error.
After some hits the CSF firewall blocks permanently the IP. Is this right? And is this the right behavior?

Hello @nunoleite,

Yes, this is the case as long as you have enabled the LF_MODSEC feature in CSF.

Thank you.
