Spambot detector (with the use of this API)

diabolic.bg · 2010-04-03 12:54 pm

I regret that my words have sounded so sharply. There are times when there is nobody to answer to a question - just as it is now. People are celebrating Easter and not everyone will come here on holiday. Sorry again!
As for the ZB Block - it is a wonderful decision.

Thanks diabolic.bg for the reply, we are friends ! no bad feelings !

here Jesus hasn't raised yet, so no celebration yet

happy holy days

diabolic.bg · 2010-04-03 1:34 pm

Glad to hear it.
For us Christ will rise again after 7 hours.
Happy Holy days to all!

I noticed lately that search IP's against blacklists doesn't seem to be checking half of them any more (Project Honeypot and BotScout) accurately.

I was wondering how come?

To show what I mean I have uploaded an image to imgur.com:

I'll look into it asap, thanks for letting me know.

And i try to register in your forum without success. Waiting validation from admin.

Found a couple of "bugettes" in v0.50 (working via the Web interface):

1. For some reason, it didn't create the table "tblspammers" in my database - didn't look into this too hard as I just manually built the table and it was then happy. Could be something I screwed up.

2. In submit.php, line 14

if( strpos($sTempVar, 'submit.php') || !strpos($sTempHost, $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) ){

should be

if( strpos($sTempVar, 'submit.php') || strpos($sTempHost, $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) ){

3. In check_spammers.php line 353 is a debug line that's wants commenting out.

4. Logging to file only seemed to work "sometimes", but I think the latest patch (Jan 11, 2011) corrects that.

I have a friend being bombarded with spam on her songwriters forum, I am wanting to help her but really am not familar with spam blockers, I believe the site is hosted by NING. Will this blocker work for her and if so could you send me a link on how to install it? Here is the site address if that helps at all.

Hello Paul,

I did this script with simple javascript code that can be added to any webpage where you need protection from bots and spammers. (no programming knowledge needed )

Recommended to use mainly in registration pages

here is the code on this thread:

IMPORTANT: This update also includes modifications to the config.php file, which means you will also need to;

1. Backup your existing config.php file
2. Create a new config.php by copying and renaming config.sample.php
3. Enter your config/settings in the new config.php file

hyderpotter · 2012-01-17 5:57 pm

I been readinmg same post and it says:

2. Enter your ProjectHoneyPot and BotScout API keys in config.php (it'll ignore these databases if you do not specify them and will notify you on the web interface)

All I see is config.sample.php

Do I edit this file and where do I put my key for this site?

MysteryFCM · 2012-01-17 8:36 pm

Just rename it to config.php

hyderpotter · 2012-01-17 8:47 pm

Is this right:

// StopForumSpam API Key
// Key goes here?
// Note: This key is required if you wish to submit data to stopforumspam.com
$sSFSAPI='';

MysteryFCM · 2012-01-17 8:48 pm

It is, yes, the key goes between the apostrophe;

$sSFSAPI='YOUR_KEY_HERE';
