Hi there,
I have a search engine site and I'm concerned that certain searches could be from robots. Also other areas of the site contains submission areas that malicious robots could use to overload the server with requests. What's the best preventative measure in this case. I want to implement a way to track these submissions and I need to be pointed in the right direction.
Google has some sort of measure where it stops the user and says that their actions are similar to malicious software. Does anyone know what they are doing here?
I have my own ideas but if anyone knows this area please help.
Thanks

Re: Malicious Purpose Built Robots
This isn't really the area for what PHP can do.
You should be looking for modules that your web server is able to load. Apache and IIS has the biggest set of modules. For Apache 2, mod_antispam, mod_spamhaus, etc can help you at that.
PHP can help you, but you should look at server side modules first.

Ok thanks, I'll look into that.

There is also mod_evasive and mod_security which are good to stop HTTP attacks.
