Laravel Bot Block
=================

[](#laravel-bot-block)

A custom middleware package for Laravel. It monitors incoming requests, watching for bots/crawlers scanning for vulnerabilities. Any bot activity and the crawler is blocked for a specified amount of time (10 minutes by default). The end result is a pretty good defense against probing scripts, crawlers and bots.

Supports Cloudflare & other Proxies

### Installation

[](#installation)

1. Install the package via Composer:

    ```
    composer require marcvanh/laravel-bot-block
    ```
2. (Optional) Publish the configuration file (for customization):

    ```
    php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Marcvanh\LaravelBotBlock\LaravelBotBlockServiceProvider"
    ```

ideas: move "illuminate/support" to require-dev consider only "web" group for middleware: // $kernel->pushMiddlewareToGroup('web', \\Marcvanh\\LaravelBotBlock\\Middleware\\BotBlockMiddleware::class);
