phpBB has a built in feature that prevents hotlinking.
You just have to Enable secure downloads in the attachment settings in ACP.
If enabled the user will get a message like this when clicking a link to a hotlinked file: "You are not authorised to view, download or link from/to this site."

However the Prevent Hotlinking mod will show you an image instead.

I will digg it out and post it in the mod forum
