BotBanishClient is application that will track and find BOT Users that are attempting to do harm to your system by performing brute force attacks in attempt to create accounts on the system or probing to find vulerabilities on your site..
BotBanishClient will check each user for certain URL phrases that used to find way to thwart the order to create account so that they or it can SPAM the system.
If BotBanishClient detects that a user is guilty of searching for vulnerabilities, BotBanishClient will modify the.htaccess file with a deny from entry so that the user cannot attack the system from that IP Address again.
Because some IP Addresses are dynamic this dynamic approach which can lead to legitimate users being blocked from the system, so it's wise to make known way of contacting your administrator to unblock IP Address if BOT USER changes their IP address and legitimate users gets IP Address.
In this case the administrator of the hosted site will need to remove IP address from the.htaccess file and it should also be deleted from BotBanishClient database table.
To keep IP Address from being blocked in the future IP should be added to BotBanishClient ip dnb table..
BotBanishClient will log and terminate BOTs that are determined fake users.
The termination process makes it easier for SMF so that SMF will not have to use up resources to monitor frequent BOT attacks..
