Reject httprequest on certain Cookievalue

We seem do have a scanner comming from many different Locations, trying to bring down our site with a series of http-Requests. They all have a spec. Cookie set.

 

 

Is it possible to reject these Requests by an irule, if for example the Value of the Cookie name "Apache" is "78689768967896".

 

 

Thanks for Ideas or solutions

 

Phil

    Hi Phil,

    You can check for a cookie in requests and reject them if there is a specific value: 

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {

    Check for an apache cookie with a value of 78689768967896
   if {[HTTP::cookie apache] eq "78689768967896"}{

       Reset the connection
      reject
   }
}

    Hi Hoolio,

     

    I too have a similar doubt. The above iRule is for rejecting if apache has only one value (786xxxxxxxx). But is there any way i can add more than one value in a variable (apache) and every time i want to add a new value to the variable externally by not editing iRule.

     

    Thanks in advance Venkata
