Integrate Killbot Blocker

In this installation guide, you will install Killbot Blocker in or using:

PHP Web Base Application

  • Upload the /killbot/ folder to the website and put writable permissions on the /killbot/logs/ folder.
  • Change the /killbot/config.php config for yourself (change the active status, API key, and bot or threats users redirection page). Register to get 3 days free trial period to test the cloud version. Below are the contents of the config.php file that you need to configure.
<?php
​
$CONFIG_KILLBOT = [
'active' => true, // If 'true' will set blocker protection active, and 'false' will deactive protection
'apikey' => 'YOUR_APIKEY', // Your API Key from https://killbot.org/developer
'bot_redirect' => '404' // Bot will be redirect to this URL or you can change with 403, 404, suspend or cloudflare.
];
  • You can activate and deactivate the protection by setting the parameter 'active'. You need to enter your API Key which was obtained from the Killbot Developer page in the 'apikey' parameter. Then you can set the page or URL that malicious visitors will access in the 'bot_redirection' parameter. The redirection bot variations you can choose from are as follows:
bot_redirection
