How to Ban an IP Address?

[Victor]

Is it possible to ban an IP address from global.asa, or by another method?

On a shared server, I'm seeing someone from China that appears to be trying to access my
site illegally (trying to access server root via cgi-bin).

Can I test for the user from global.asa and then execute a Response.End? Or is there
another way?

Thanks!

Why would that be illegal?

It is only illegal, if the "perpetator" is acting illegally according to
the laws in his or her country.

You could test in session_onstart:

<%
q = request.servervariables("remote_addr")
If q = "123.456.789.123" then Session.Abandon:Response.End
%>

IIS can be configured to deny connections by IP address.
