| by Dante7237 on 2011/10/27 14:32:17 The 2 part registration is enabled by allowing the "complimentary" form in preferences. Also, in your php.ini file located "usually" 1 directory above your html folder you need to be sure that these items are set as so: register_globals Off allow_url_fopen Off This helps prevent exploits like remote file inclusion. If you don't have access to php.ini then contact your hosting provider and they should be more than happy to correct that. Note: All these things are fine, but a human in a shop in India can still register if he comes in on a clean IP. |

| by wishcraft on 2011/10/27 9:24:29 Just install Xortify, it will stop the spammers and spammer bots as well as harvester. Make sure you are using http://xortify.chronolabs.coop it is the primary in the multi node honeypot. You will have to use this one before registering. It will change this when the cron runs. You might also want to put the cron time up the services are quiet stable now. |

| by engelseboer on 2011/10/26 23:06:43 Hi Dante, How did you accomplish the 2 part registration I (and others) are being inundated with Bot registraitions We run databases (AnimalPedigree) that use xoops (mine runs xoops 2.4.5) These people are perpetually registering (10 times a day) as loan or credit or cash .... accounts/usernames Listing usernames as not allowed that contain these words has failed and are still registered I have tried forcing the requirement for admin authorization, but this is bypassed too they are authorized before i ever get to see the e-mail request I'd like some system of preventing such things hope you or someone can help please I am NOT xoops literate and only mildly PC literate Regards Malcolm |

| by trabis on 2011/9/27 23:01:22 @Barry, you should wait for 2.5.2 Final before update your website. I've now realized that this version of protector requires 2.5.x because it has a new admin menu. |

| by barryc on 2011/9/27 22:53:56 @trabis, yes, it is there, got 8 hits as a matter of fact, all with different IP addresses but with the same email. Even the user ID was the same (for 7 of them) as was used on my site. Will the new version of Protector only run on Xoops 2.5.2? I'm still using 2.4.4, mainly because I'm afraid of breaking some of the modules on my site if I update. barryC |
