 * Hi
 * I discovered some poking around for “?gf_page=upload” today and in the past have
   seen attempts at accessing various php files –
 * I was wondering if in a future release, we could have the ability to immediately
   block IP’s that access vulnerable file names or extensions, even perhaps with
   wildcard * structures (*.php), without having to identify a particular folder,
   as we must do now in order to auto block for vulnerable folder structures.

 * Is the firewall rule to “If 404’s for known vulnerable URL’s exceed” not working?
   I usually set mine to 2. I figure 1 can be an honest mistake. 2 means you’re 
   up to no good. 😉

 * It’s set to “1 per minute” and block it –
 * Unless I’m incorrect, I can’t see a reason why there’d be a mistake like ?gf_page
   =upload – that has to be typed in right? or even php files?
    (I see that often,
   the gravity form thing was a new one for me today)
