I finally got tired of removing comment spam.
I registered for a free Account on http://www.projecthoneypot.org.

Then I downloaded this class:
http://projecthoneypot.org/board/read.php?f=10&i=179&t=179

and added this code to mainfile.php
include 'httpbl.php';
 $h=new http_bl('*********'); // No, i will not post my Key here.
        $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 
        $r=$h->query($ip);

        if($r>=2){
                echo ("This IP is reported as a known Spammer. Please refer to http://www.projecthoneypot.org to change your status.
");
                die ( "Found a " . $h->type_txt ." (".$h->type_num .") with a score of ". $h->score . ", last seen since ". $h->days . " days");
        }
}


I got no more spam from that day.

Could be useful here against spammers like happy2008 and shopyland. Nice would if this or similar would be part of the core.

"happy2008" is being dealt with, as will anyone else who starts spamming about shoes or anything else.

I might miss some spam comments; users are welcome to PM me with the uid and this will be dealt with.

Thanks for the honeypot link - very interesting indeed

Interesting!

1. I guess the code goes at top of mainfile.php?

2. Is ******** the same as the honey pot login password?

I hope i was correct in removing the last bracket. I get no errors but i also don't know how to verify that it's really working. I guess it will show in my shoutbox soon enough =)

No, its not the password, its the api-key you get on this page after you register.

I yust found out the hard way, that it is absolutely neccessary to include the "thread-level"/score in the if-statement. found IPs are never deleted, only their thread level is lowered to zero eventually. So you must check $h->score.

This may be the best tip on XOOPS.org of 2008, but please tell how you did it.

What did you change in the if-statement:

if($r>=2){
                echo ("This IP is reported as a known Spammer. Please refer to http://www.projecthoneypot.org to change your status.
");
                die ( "Found a " . $h->type_txt ." (".$h->type_num .") with a score of ". $h->score . ", last seen since ". $h->days . " days");
        }


??

Doesn't if($r>=2) already set the correct score???

By the way, there is a "}" to much in the code.

It seems i haven't gotten this to work for me. (I removed the last "}")

PeeCee, was something missing? I didn't quite understand.

right now i use this:
include 'httpbl.php';
$h=new http_bl('abcdefghi');              // put your access key here
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];       // replace with the ip to query
$r=$h->query($ip);
if($r>=2){
   if ($h->score>20){
                echo ("This IP is reported as a known Spammer. Please refer to http://www.projecthoneypot.org to change your status.
");
                die ( "Found a " . $h->type_txt ." (".$h->type_num .") with a score of ". $h->score . ", last seen since ". $h->days . " days");
        }
}


You must register to projecthoneypot.org for a valid api-key. Replace abcdefghi with that key.

I came up with the idea, since drupal, phpbb, Wordpress and even MediaWiki already have modules.
