Protector 3 log entry: what does it mean?

Just curious about this, i.e. I have often wondered what this means:

URI SPAM /register.php SPAM POINT: 101

I know what "URI SPAM" means (google is your friend ) and assume that "register.php" refers to an attempted spam through that file.

My question is about "SPAM POINT 101".........does it mean that there were 101 attempts to spam/hack on this one occasion?

They didn't get through or manage to register any accounts, so a "big up" for the 2.0.16 XOOPS core, GIJOE and Protector 3.02

I believe there were 101 URLs in the post to register.php. You can adjust the threshhold in the preferences and when you do, you will see the SPAM POINTS logged change.

yip, i think it means that there where 101 urls in the post to register.php. Posibly in the signature.

BTW, Protector 3.03 has been released.

@JAVesey,

Do you also have the plugin postcommon_post_deny_by_rbl.php enabled?

See manual.

Quote:
= Using filter-plugin =

You can put a filter-plugin in XOOPS_TRUST_PATH/modules/protector/filters_enabled/

There are two plugins in this archive.

- postcommon_post_deny_by_rbl.php
an anti-SPAM plugin.
All of Post from IP registered in RBL will be rejected.
This plugin can slow the performance of Post, especially chat modules.

- postcommon_post_need_multibyte.php
an anti-SPAM plugin.
Post without multi-byte characters will be rejected.
This plugin is only for sites of japanese, tchinese, schinese, and korean.

If you want to turn the plugin on, copy the file in filters_disabled into filters_enabled.

Not at the moment, mainly because of this note:

I'll give it a go when I get home this evening (I don't have FTP access anywhere else).

Thanks for reminding me of this.

I have it installed the RBL plugin and i havent seen any slowness in the performance of posts.

i tested out on my test site first before applying it and it seemed fine to use it.

Okay.... I've copied the file from "disabled" to "enabled".

Had a look at it and the php file contains this code:

// RBL servers (don't enable too many servers)
    $rbls = array(
        'niku.2ch.net' ,
        'sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org' ,
#        'list.dsbl.org' ,
#        'bl.spamcop.net' ,
#        'all.rbl.jp' ,
#        'opm.blitzed.org' ,
#        'bsb.empty.us' ,
#        'bsb.spamlookup.net' ,


I assume that the enabled servers are those without a "#" - has anyone enabled any of the others?
