There isn't one. Bad bots ignore robots.txt files.

What are you trying to accomplish?

i believe you can do that in admincp settings
i know you can for the site, just not 100% how much you can separate in there offhand

Google doesn't index non-content areas in any case.

The best way to go about blocking bots is by user agent.

If security is your concern you can rename admincp and modcp but don't list them in your robots.txt file. That tells the bots where they are.

This is what I use in my robots.txt

Code:

User-agent: *

Disallow: /cgi-bin/

Disallow: /register.php

Disallow: /online.php

Disallow: /admincp/

Disallow: /modcp/

Disallow: /subscription.php

Code:

Disallow: /admincp/

Disallow: /modcp/

If it is me I would remove these lines ... because you are telling hackers where your adminCP is.

That's not really too big of a deal because hackers would already know of those folders with a vbulletin exploit lookup which would tell them exactly where the location is anyways. It simply tells spiders, not to index those parts.

Usually my adminCP is name is like "dontlookhere" or something else.
If I am hiding the adminCP why advertise it?
Anyways its your choice.

I don't block anything in my robots.txt files anymore, there is really no point.

Perfect robots.txt:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Then delete your database and files and log off the internet forever.

In the config file you need to edit this part along with manually renaming the folders as well.

Code:

/* #### PATH TO ADMIN & MODERATOR CONTROL PANELS  ####

This setting allows you to change the name of the folders that the admin and

moderator control panels reside in. You may wish to do this for security purposes.

Please note that if you change the name of the directory here, you will still need

to manually change the name of the directory on the server. */

$config['Misc']['admincpdir'] = 'admincp';

$config['Misc']['modcpdir'] = 'modcp';

/* Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have

Keep this short and only use numbers and letters, i.e. 1-9 and a-Z */

$config['Misc']['cookieprefix'] = 'vb';
