извините, что не комментировал мой код:)
Так что с комментарием, думаю, вы поймете.
if (rc == MEMCACHED_SUCCESS) {
//if connected to memcache
uint64_t intval;
//trying to increment the "ip address" key (+1)
rc= memcached_increment(memc, key, strlen(key), (uint64_t)1, &intval);
if (rc != MEMCACHED_SUCCESS)
//if increment fail, then it is the first time that we see this address
//init the value at 1 for 60 seconds
rc= memcached_set(memc, key, strlen(key), "1", 1, (time_t)60, (uint32_t)0);
else
//if increment success, then verifying the value, if more than 30 (30 reqs/minute)
//blacklist the ipaddress (setting the value arbitrary at 500 for 1 hour)
if (intval>30) {
VRT_SetHdr(sp, HDR_REQ, "\013X-Scraping:", "1", vrt_magic_string_end);
syslog(LOG_INFO, "Scraping detected from %s",VRT_IP_string(sp, VRT_r_client_ip(sp)));
if (intval<300)
rc= memcached_set(memc, key, strlen(key), "500", 3, (time_t)3600, (uint32_t)0);
}
