simple way to block attackers on Linux 1) give sudo access to user running web2py to /sbin/iptables 2) create a new app, let's call it "gatekeeper" with the following default.py controller
def block(): import os os.system('sudo iptables -I INPUT -s %s -j DROP' % request.client) 3) create a web2py routes.py file that maps suspicious URLs into the above action routes_in=[ ['.*\.\..*','/gatekeeper/default/block'], # block clients attempting a directory traversal ['.*\.php','/gatekeeper/default/block'], # block clients looking for php scripts ] you can add your own filters using regular expressions.
