• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Question Can modsecurity be used to exclude bot agents ?

sanbis

New Pleskian
Server operating system version

I don't know if it is possible to use a custom rule to exclude bot agents ?

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

if ($http_user_agent ~ (MJ12bot|LieBaoFast|UCBrowser|MQQBrowser|Mb2345Browser|gumgum-bot|postmanruntime|ag_dm_spider|scrapy|chimebot|trendkite-akashic-crawler|ZoominfoBot|Sogou|ALittle|Keybot|Buck|curl|webprosbot|RestSharp|Snap|SemrushBot|AhrefsBot|DataForSeoBot)) {
return 403;
}
 
Hello Sanbis,

I believe that you may have an apache web server. and let me guide you through some steps to exclude bot agents using ModSecurityAnd I assume that you have already installed it. If you haven’t, then follow me.

In the Apache configuration setup, we already have an included directory for ModSecurity rules

Configure ModSecurity to Block bot Agents.
