Configuring NukeSentinel to ban ips of people who hack your nuke site may result in your site being excluded from web searches.
There's a new danager to nuke sites. Recently, I've found evidence that hackers are not only trying to hack nuke sites, but to get them excluded from web searches as well. What they do is they feed the URLs they would use for an SQL injection or XSS type of attack on your site into a search engine. Once that URL is in the search engine's list of URLs to crawl, the webcrawlers for that search engine will appear to be attacking your nuke site. If you have NukeSentinel installed and have it configured to ban the IP of anyone who tries to hack your website, you may be inadverntaly banning webcrawlers from your website and eventualy, your website will no longer be listed in search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. My recommendation is to not configure NukeSentinel to ban IPs of people who try to hack your website. I'm currently trying to alert search engines of this new problem but its only resulting in them programing their web crawler not to crawl my site...
