there's some real bad ones. the ones i hate are the ones that claim to be legit scanners. they never stop and hit me all the time, all day long.

with bots going in my login i have a capcha thing that only 2 idiots failed in many years.  they actually had to write something wrong and then confirm it.

what this script does is block everyone that connects.  then they solve it correctly and they are removed.  that way bots that disconnect are in the list.

but blocking is real fruitless. when you block 100, there's another 10,000 to replace them.
