@eastsidebeastkidx Please read the manual. The whitelisting system will keep you from being 503 banned from your site, IF you use it. All details are in the PDF manual.
I might like to mention, that this solution does not require operating-system level access like most, if not all my competitors packages do. Thus, it can be used on shared hosting without any problems, so long as the host doesn't "hijack" error pages to advertise themselves (paid hosts rarely do this, free ones are bad about it for the most part).
@FireMario64DS Due to some people not liking the preemptive blocks against certain known bad IP ranges (Thoroughly researched), we now distribute an "unblocked" signature file that has no pre-emptive data in it.
All blocks made by that are based on behavior, or a bad report from a remote blocklist. (Oh, and if TOR blocking is turned on, it will block that.)
I am back here to say that Zbblock is still going strong after a year! As long as I have Zaphod and Zbblock in my corner I know I am safe. If you have a PHP based website/forum/blog and you do not use this script please take the challenge! Install, wait a few hours and then go check your logs. You will be amazed! Do not forget to keep your script updated as that is very important. Zaphod makes it very easy to get the alerts to these updates by subscribing to his forum! THANK YOU!
The nice part of having ZBBlock, is that you dont see results. It just does its thing and you never see the bad guys. However you can read the kill log and see who the program has blocked. Good stuff!
Excellent video! I'm glad they made this so I can simply offer people a link to the tutorial video instead of explaining it and more. You did a wonderful job, and I think people will understand more on what your work does. ZB Block has been part of our security for a few months now. This is an excellent solution for forums and blogs that get spammed a lot. Anyone that has a website and cares about it should use this. Thanks Zaphod for all the time you put into helping us protect our websites!
I am lost and need help 503 error my site is unavailable.

Have to say, within an hour of installing and setting up ZB Block, it's already caught around 23 malicious connections from russia and china.

Would like to mention this is GNU/GPL V.2 Freeware in BETA development.
Not all serving environments are supported, nor will be, especially when it comes to php running in safe-mode, or servers with mal-set permissions.
I will do my best however to help when I can.

Very cool. I just installed it, and I'm hoping to see the results soon.

Don't forget to update to the latest signatures for ZB Block after installation! Simply download, unzip, and upload to the /vault/ directory.
Please do register on the spambotsecurity forums for future assistance.
Glad to have you on board!
