Whitelisting is easy to do.
In the download folder there is a file which is self explanatory when you open it with an editor like microsoft word pad.
The file to edit is
Includes > Whitelist
To add bad user agents is easier than editing your htaccess file.
Includes > bad-behavior > blacklist.inc.php
That file when you open again is easy to add bad user agents to.
First half is starts with, second half is anywhere in the user agent
Its very easy to work with
Out the box it works very well
I personally still block a lot of ip via htaccess
What you might find is someone will hit you twenty times or more in some cases with different user agents
Some get caught, some dont. If you look at your bb blocks in the logs, these people tend to stand out so you can add an ip block
Its a great bit of software to use in your fight against low life
