How to block Referral Spam

[Reece NA]

Hi.

I currently I use the following statements in .htaccess files to block spammy referals from certain websites.

RewriteEngine on
# Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} spammywebsite1\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} spammywebsite2\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} spammywebsite3\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

Could someone please tell me what the exact equivelent of the above would be as a Security Rule?

It would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

You can use a rule such as
SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:Referer "!@contains ://%{SERVER_NAME}/" \
