Xortify 2.25 - Cloud Computing for Protector

Resized Image
Xortify 2.25
Cloud Computing Sentry for Protector

This was my first title with the use of API's and a cloud server. Cloud computing is all the rage now and even yoursite with any later xoops 2 will be able to be a cloud with the right plugins written.

This applet for XOOPS allows you to maintain the ban list in the cloud, whenever someone attempts a security intrusion in xoops and you are running xortify it will pick up this ban and pass it onto everyone in the cloud, preventing xoops from being farmed or having a farmed attack.

Once someone is banned by protector, that is put into the bad ips bin, xortify will port this IP and details to http://www.xortify.com via an API, this is then distributed to everyone else within the time frame you have xortify cycling on. If the person gotos that site then they are assumed banned being on the clouds IP range and displays a ban notice.

The bans are also aggregated via RSS on the site as well so you can even tweet about a ban. This is a must for any security conceited individual and I can highly recommend it. Personally I think this is the addition feature protector is missing and this applet should be included in all distributions.

Where can I download it from?

Direct: xoops2.4_xortify_2.25.zip (114Kb)
Mirror: xoops2.4_xortify_2.25.zip (114Kb)
SVN: xoops2.4_xortify_2.25.zip (114Kb)

What has changed?
  • cURL Routines are all working
  • fURL Open Routines are all working

X-JSON 1.42 - API For XOOPS

Resized Image
[size=x-large]X-JSON 1.42[/size]

Well for awhile now I have been making API for XOOPS. What are these? Well the TLA API stands for Application Programmable Interface, this is a tool on a site that allows other sites to embed data from them with the use of an API.

Many sites use these an example of one is twitter and all the scrolly tweet feeds you can see around the place. These work with an API that has an associated username and password with the site.

I recently added to the family of API which was originally only available with SOAP with two newer titles X-cURL and X-JSON. essentially these second apis are functionally the same at this point of development.

This is hopefully the final release of X-JSON, I have been busy making a cloud with it called Xoritify which is hosted on http://www.xortify.com which uses API technology to link my modules with a centralized data source. At the moment I am having to meet monthly billing straters so sometimes it is offline but most of the applications at least the cloud side is designed to goto sleep when this happens.

If you would like to download X-JSON the following links are available:

Direct: xoops2.4_xjson_1.42.zip (102Kb)
Mirror: xoops2.4_xjson_1.42.zip (102Kb)
SVN: xoops2.4_xjson_1.42.zip (102Kb)

Spiders 2.60 - Robot/Spider/Crawler Manager

Resized Image
Spiders 2.60

Spiders is a tool for managing your spiders, crawlers and robots that come to your site. It also utilises cloud technology to spread the robots around the network using the cloud as an SEO Advantage.

This will allow you to assign User Agents of a robot to a user and user group, which means you can control with xoops permissioning the crawl radius on your site. It is also a useful tool to use if you need to by generating a secondary group for banned and aggressive bots and assigning the user for that bot to it.

There have been some improvements to the maths system that is used to identify a robot. I suggest a match percentile of around 53% which is the last option in the preferences. You can get a list of robots from the cloud as well as add robots or change details of a robot in the cloud by using the send option in the installed robots section of the software. This will lodge a modification notices on http://www.xortify.com and when maintenance is time and due the robot or crawler is added.

It will also not only import robots off the cloud but will also import a robots.txt - There are also other options with this tool as well the cloud maintains a list of current subscribers that are being crawled and populates only on the robot page an SEO Footer for catch and spread of bots around the network, this will also improve your SEO Score, you can also turn sharing off in the preferences, but i recommend you use this with xortify.

Where can I download this from?

Direct: xoops2.4_spiders_2.60.zip (103Kb)
Mirror: xoops2.4_spiders_2.60.zip (103Kb)
SVN: xoops2.4_spiders_2.60.zip (103Kb)

What is fixed in this version?
  • Mozilla client logging in as robot - based on scoring system change
  • Googlebot Identifity passing unnoticed
  • Cloud Functions & Plugins
  • CURL API use
  • furl open API use
  • SEO Footer
  • Match Scoring System
