STOP SPAMMERS NOW

Recently my site has been hit hard by comment spammers. They join your site, usually with HTML links in your user profile and then post spam comments everywhere.

I added some code to my register.php file that records any IP address that accesses that file, and then logs it in a text file. Once a week I download the text file and check every IP against known spammer IP's

So here's this weeks list. Just cut n paste it into you banned ip filed in the system preferences. And don't forget to turn on the IP check.

I will periodically update the list for everyone to add IPs to their sites


For some reason the entire list won't show up oin the quote block, but just double click on the string to highlight it and copy. You'll get the entire string

Unless I'm mistaken, you need spaces for the string to wrap.

but, there can't be spaces in the IP ban list, so I guess we'll just leave it as it is :)

xortify and protector can both help here.. xortify is basically a ban list to keep those spammers off your site.

Useless expenditure of time.
From what you took, what spammers come with same IP?

Spam goes usually from the infected computers, and their millions, And at many dynamic IP.

Clever registration will rescue you from spam...

I think, having a "random" kind of Captcha would help too, i.e. the system could have several different kinds of Captcha like reCaptcha, Captcha, some graphic Captcha, and XOOPS would randomly select a Captcha and present to the user. If the bot is checking for reCaptcha and would get a graphic Captcha, it would fail.

But with dynamic IPs, blocking individual IP doesn't really help much anymore.

I thought Captcha and reCaptcha were cracked.
Couldn't a simple question be appended to the login like; is snow black or white? or a set of simple questions that aletrnate randomly?
Is that hard to do? Wouldn't that beat a bot?

It will be great if Xoops.org can maintain a list the spam generator or IP ban Lists and each of our xoops install should sync the server and update the IP ban list (the functionality should be optional to turn on/off)

This is already being done in Xortify.
