BBQ: Block Bad Queries

Block Bad Queries (BBQ) helps protect WordPress against malicious URL requests.

Download Version 20130103

Block Bad Queries (BBQ) is a simple script that protects your website against malicious URL requests.

The BBQ script is available as a plugin for WordPress or standalone script for any PHP-powered website.

Features include

  • Plug-n-play functionality
  • No configuration required
  • Born of simplicity, no frills
  • Blocks a wide range of malicious requests
  • Based on the 5G/6G Blacklist
  • Scans all incoming traffic and blocks bad requests
