This gives you full control over what you want to allow access. # This is for additional User-Agents that are not included in the main list of the bot blocker # This is also used to over-ride User-Agents in the main list # This file must exist on your system or Apache will fail a reload due to a missing file # This allows you finer control of keeping certain bots blocked and automatic updates will # Never be able to remove this custom list of yours # Please note this include file loads first before any of the already whitelisted User-Agents # in the bad bot blocker. By loading first in line it over-rides anything below it so for instance # if you want to block Baidu, Google or Bing for any reason you add them to this file which loads # first and takes precedence over anything below it. This now allows even finer control over the # bad bot blocker. Enjoy !!! # Even though this file is called blacklist-user-agents, as mentioned it can also be used to whitelist user agents # By adding them below and setting the word bad_bot to good_bot this will permanently whitelist the User-Agent. # Make sure any words that contain special characters are escaped and include word boundaries as per the Regex examples below. # EXAMPLE 1: the User-Agent name "someverybaduseragentname1" is entered as "\bsomeverybaduseragentname1\b" # EXAMPLE 2: the User-Agent name "some-very-bad-useragentname2" is entered as "\bsome\-very\-bad\-useragentname1\b" # EXAMPLE 3: if you want to block something like wget you would add the following "\bwget\b" # the "\b" are word boundaries which prevents partial matching and false positives. # Follow the regex formatting examples below. # BY DEFAULT ALL THE EXAMPLES BELOW ARE COMMENTED OUT AND HENCE NOT ENABLED # ************************* # BLACKLIST ADDITIONAL BOTS # ************************* #BrowserMatchNoCase "^(.*?)(\bMyVeryBadUserAgentName\b)(.*)$" bad_bot #BrowserMatchNoCase "^(.*?)(\bMy\ Bad\ User\ Agent\b)(.*)$" bad_bot # ************************* # WHITELIST ADDITIONAL BOTS # ************************* #BrowserMatchNoCase "^(.*?)(\bMyVeryGoodUserAgentName\b)(.*)$" good_bot #BrowserMatchNoCase "^(.*?)(\bMy\ Bad\ User\ Agent\b)(.*)$" good_bot
