No mercy: banning for life, with method

Sixty-seven addresses try our doors. They are not mistyping: they are looking for the password file. We ban them for life. And the same rule became a power in our game.

1. What a prober is, and what it is not

A visitor who mistypes an address lands on a page that no longer exists. A prober tries doors that never existed here: the password file, another software's entrance, an old plugin known for its holes.

Nobody types /wp-login.php by accident on a site that never ran WordPress. That is not a mistake: it is an attempt.

2. Why "for life" and not "fifteen minutes"

A short block works against someone who mistypes a password. It does nothing against a machine trying a thousand doors: it waits out the quarter of an hour and starts again. It has time; we do not.

The rule: whoever tries once will remember the address. So we close, and we do not reopen.

What we do not detail here, and why: this tool is bound by precise rules — who it can never strike, what you must have done to be struck, and how a decision is undone. Those rules are not written on this page. Publishing the map of your own guardrails is telling people where to walk around them.

To remember: no mercy for those who try to get in — with method all the same. Hardness without method is not security, it is mood. Published on September 4, 2026.
