How to Ban an IP Address?

[Victor]

Is it possible to ban an IP address from global.asa, or by another method?

On a shared server, I'm seeing someone from China that appears to be trying to access my
site illegally (trying to access server root via cgi-bin).

Can I test for the user from global.asa and then execute a Response.End? Or is there
another way?

Thanks!

Why would that be illegal?

It is only illegal, if the "perpetator " is acting illegally according to
the laws in his or her country.

Response.End? Or is there another way?

You could test in session_onstart :

<%
q = request.serverv ariables("remot e_addr")
If q = "123.456.789.12 3" then Session.Abandon :Response.End
%>

IIS can be configured to deny connections by IP address.

Configure IP Address and Domain Name Restrictions (IIS 6.0)
