How do I configure NukeSentinel™?
How do I configure NukeSentinel™?
From the installation script (nsnstp.php), click the Goto NukeSentinel™ Admin link. From the Admin page, select the NukeSentinel™ link.
You will likely notice many red circles with a question mark inside (). You can click these for more information or explanations about the setting or link next to the circle.
The NukeSentinel™ Administration menu is displayed on all NukeSentinel™ administration / configuration pages. It contains links to:
NukeSentinel™ Administration
NukeSentinel™ Configuration
Site Administration
Blocked IP Addresses
Add IP Address
Clear All IP addresses
Clear Expired Blocks
Protected Admins List
Admin HTTPAuth List
Scan for New Admins
The NukeSentinel™ Administration is displayed. On this page, you can set:
Side Box Settings
Site Status
Proxy Blocker Status
Administrative Settings
List Page Settings
Selecting NukeSentinel™ Configuration displays the configuration menu, where you can set options for the following blockers:
Admin
C-Like
Union
Filters
Harvester
Referer
Scripting
Request Method
String
Each blocker has its own:
Activation Level (what to do when an attack is detected)
Setting to Write to .htaccess (if appropriate and set in the NukeSentinel™ Administration settings)
Forward To address/URL (if the activation level includes Forward)
IP Block Type (if the activation level includes Block)
Default Page (if the activation level includes Default)
Email IP Lookup (if available and the activation level includes Email)
Reason
Block Duration (if the activation level includes Block)
The Activation Level can be to one or more of the following:
email the admin
block the IP in database and, optionally, .htaccess
forward the offending user to a default / template page
forward the offending user to a specified forward address / URL
Some blockers require additional information. You must specify a list of harvesters, referers, request methods and strings to block attacks using these techniques. A default list is installed for harvesters and referers.
It is important to understand that NukeSentinel™ will prevent improper access regardless of the blocker settings, with the exception of referers and harvesters. The blocker settings simply specify what, if anything, else NukeSentinel™ will do when an attempt to gain improper access occurs.This Q&A was found on: http://freesoftwarereviews.org/modules.php?name=FAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=1
