Protecting yourself from Jelsoft

If your forum directory is /forum/, then you just place the .htaccess file in that directory.

I just got it from my hotmail.. he mailed me some 3 or 4 months back when my forums got caught for using nulled vb..

I have no ideas about these ips though lol..
 
i saw one day of the year - (admins and I will decide) every single member here spams the vbulletin.com site. This is the message:

"Fuck your software - Fuck Pirate Report"

lol

i think it must be on the home dir
not on forum dir only
so they can't acsess all
do am i right???​
 
i have a problem, when i upload the .htaccess to my forum dir it dont stay, like i never uploaded it. My hosting is 1&1. Anyone else here with this problem?
 
refresh your ftp folder or log oout and back in. If your using windows ftp wizzard thats normally the case.

I found Steve Machol very personable and a decent guy.

When I posted on the official VB forum, Steve was the first to answer my question, and very quickly as well.

I just love my forum too much to get caught running it with a "nulled" version of the software.

So I ditzed it and went legit.
 
Code: 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*jelsoft\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*piratereports\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*vbulletin\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

# Add your deny from IP addresses here


You should understand that this is a bandaid solution with a really easy workaround. Jelsoft has a virtual army of zealots that they can recruit with IP addresses and domains that don't look anything at all like any of the above. A simple email request to any of them would get a verification that you are running vbulletin.

FYI
 
I found my .htaccess file
but it only had it in

Code: 
deny from all

So I just pasted your code into the bottom..

BUt I refreshed the page, and saw that mailgate.piratereport.com was still there but only had activity 15 minutes ago.
So when they try and have more activity, it will kick them off?
 
i understand how to do all of this but i don't really know where's this .htaccess file cuz i didn't find it in my forum folder or my website root folder
do i have to create a new one? if yes, where would i put it in my website?
 
you can see the .htaccess file when you access your server from a ftp client, just edit the file from there... it will be at the root or where your forum resides
 
No, he's right. Unless you created one or installed a mod that has one as part of the mod (VBSEO & VBSEO Sitemap Generator, for instance), there is no .htaccess file included in a standard vB install. You have to create one if you don't have one.
