having generated any file with same format of file csf.deny, so we can include them inside csf.conf:

csf.conf new option example:

MY_OWN_LOGS ="/home/domain1/public_html/csf.deny, /home/domain2/public_html/csf.deny, "/home/domain3/public_html/csf.deny"

That's what the GLOBAL_DENY feature is for.

the solution of GLOBAL_DENY is quite useless because as I wrote in thread
showthread.php?t=2230

So still I ask the support T. to include a new feature in the configuration file, able to read extern log files.

the situation is this:

- we are suffering a brute-force attack in several webpages. If we make a php script to include the attacker's IP inside a log file, still the attacker would have 3600 seconds to test many passwords.

- If we low the time (i.e: 2 seconds) we are overloading the process.

- If we want to call one shell script to execute IP-table rules, then we are forced to low the security level in the server so PHP can be able to execute the .sh.


some help?
