Xortify - Fortify your XOOPS.

Xortify is a sleepy 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 from http://xortify.chronolabs.coop (Australiasia Pacific) and mirrored at http://www.xortify.com (Europe).. Cloud Security 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.

Installation Guide:

You may need to install the cURL or SOAP Extension for PHP. this operates on Safe Mode of PHP as well as allowing for user signup within the module itself.

You may find due to the location of your server one cloud runs faster than the other, this is trial and error, as long as the ban list displays with a Username and Password it is all working, you may have to adjust the prodotcol you are using to get this working.

Noticably there is a minor issue with running xortify on Xoops 2.4 series as the xoops_load() function doesn't load the cache on xoops_load('xoopscache'); where it infact needs to call xoops_load('cache').. So I have added some extra code to ensure you don't get a WSOD on XOOPS 2.4 series with this module.

There is no need to upgrade if you are using XOOPS 2.5 series and xortify honeypot.
