1. Overview & Real Production Case Study

BotProtection is a zero-dependency, battle-tested Laravel middleware designed to defend web platforms against hostile automated scrapers, exploit reconnaissance bots, and scanning toolkits.

🚀 Live Case Study from LATIRU.RU:
On October 22, 2026, our production platform LATIRU.RU came under heavy automated scanning and reconnaissance during the global wave of PHP2Shell (CVE-2026-109618 / CVE-2026-109619) attacks.
As audited in our Laravel Telescope and daily error traces, automated attacker bots bombarded the application with exploit probes:

  • POST /php-cgi/php-cgi.exe... -> Blocked with 405 / 403
  • POST /api/gql and POST /graphql/api -> Blocked with 405 / 403
  • GET /.env, GET /.git/config, GET /.vscode/sftp.json -> Neutralized with 404

The Result: The strike system accumulated the violation counts and permanently blacklisted the offending IP addresses within 3 requests. Subsequent probes to public routes (/, /events, /calc) were instantly dropped with 403 Forbidden (errors.bot-detected), protecting our PHP workers and MySQL database from exhaustion.

3. Installation

Require with Composer:

Register in your application:

For Laravel 9 & 10 (app/Http/Kernel.php):

For Laravel 11 & 12 (bootstrap/app.php):

Publish Configuration & Views:

4. Configuration (config/bot-protection.php)

💡 Important Note on Whitelist Testing:
If you test the middleware by running curl directly from inside the server via SSH, the request originates from 127.0.0.1 or the server's public IP. Because those IPs are whitelisted to prevent local Cron jobs and artisan daemons from locking themselves out, the server will legitimately return 200 OK.
To test real bot blocking, run the curl probe from an external workstation or laptop:

Or test programmatically via Tinker:
