Xortify - 3.x Series for XOOPS 2.5 & 2.6 (Antispam, Antiharvesting etc)

Resized Image
Xortify - Fortify your XOOPS.
Community Release by - Chronolabs Co-op.

Xortify is a network security drone that uses Web 2.0 techniques to link between your XOOPS installs and other via a Server Cloud. This will prevent security intrusions to your xoops with accurate deceptive notation of the intruder and prevent any farmed attacks. It is an accessory and required Protector to be installed an running to be part of the hookup. Otherwise it will run without protector just make sure you deselect protector as a provider.

It will display a template if you are banned and is an accessory to protector or any other firewall technology. The site itself is driven fromhttp://xortify.com and mirrored athttp://xortify.chronolabs.coop .. Cloud computing is web 2.0/3.0 stuff it used a SOAP or JSON, XML or Serialisation to exchange on the API backend to work, this will eventually be included in xoops as a support class.

A cloud computing process is one which staggers multiple networks sometime and mainly unknown to the webmaster into a network or cloud of data. In this example it is IP and Netaddy names to control access lists.

This will prevent predators from exposing your network to lag and other attacks from link farming, often this means many xoops are attacked in occasions which is all the time caught by protector, this way if an attack is in process across a large spectrum of links, your site will down itself to your sourced attack even if it is discovered on a completely unaffiliated site that is link farmed to yours or on a XOOPS User list.

Xortify is a cloud solution to protectors Bad IPs, if someone attempts to hack your site and becomes a bad IP it will then send the IP to the Ban Cloud on Xortify.com and its paired cloud Xortify.chronolabs.coop. It will also poll the server to make sure it has the latest ban list so your website will be aware of malusers before they attack through farming IP from services like Google or bing.

Xortify is finally bug free, there was a lasting reminder of how it can be quiet frustrating developing software, especially cloud solutions with so many variables to hone to make sure the system is working, you should enjoy this version and any future releases for XOOPS 2.7, but as it stands I can't find anymore situations, warnings, notices or WSOD with this copy.

Pb with Xortify 3.00 for Xoops 2.5x :
When I check Modules admin, I see all running modules... but Xortify is auto-disabled (red cross) some minutes or hours after activation.

i have same problem.
With curl protocol the module does not disable
But i don't received the ban list from xortify.com

in admin sign-up i have this error:

Error Occured Communicating with cloud
The current URI is unaccessable on the selected protocol. This could mean you are either missing a required PHP Extension or have a firewall blocking port 80 to the Xortify Cloud.

You can try changing the protocol selected in preferences to see if this may elivate the communication fawl of your hosting services.


URL/URI Being Contacted

http://xortify.com/json/


Protocol Being Used

curl

Try changing to Curl Serialisation or wGet Serialisation in the preferences.. The other function may be you need to create a username on xortify.com using the signup form. IF the signup form isn't displaying then you have a communication problem with xortify.com and your system protocols are not compatible with the cloud communication, if the signup form is displaying it should be working all okey..

Even testing all Cloud Communication Protocol, Ban List + Usage Logs still OK
but I've found that SignUp always KO (Error Occured Communicating with cloud) except 1 try on 15...
So the module is going to be auto-disabled in some minutes/hours.

Infos:
Username used with Xortify+Spiders is ok, can be still manually logged on Xortify.com to test it.
all Provider Plug-ins selected.
all looks OK with Spiders 2.76, even its SignUp but wait a while to get the form :(

Could you message me your phone number so i can call you (with country code) and look into this bug with you.. It is quiet odd cause it isn't reproducing itself on my systems.

Could you also download the module again, cause it was patched at one point which means you may be running an old version.

Just thinking the other thing you can try is altering the timeout on cURL functions, for some reason the DNS might be resolving slower than the preferences has allowed, down the bottom of preferences there is 2 options for time with cURL sessions, you will need to increase these ever so slightly.

Thanks
