Blocking access to site by banned IP addresses

Question

I have a list of IP addresses of bots/hackers that are constantly attacking one of my sites. I want to block these visitors by IP and am trying to work out a \"best\" approa

Answer 1

If you feel your site is being "hacked" from a specific IP, you should not be blocking that IP in software, the very thing that they intend to compromise. Blocked IPs should be blocked at the firewall.
