Re: Bad Behavior mod - The Web's premier link spam killer (Now with SMF 2 httpBL)

Okay, I understand I have to do that. What I don't understand is HOW to do it. Where can I find a step-by-step manual on these issues? I basically need 'Installing Honey Pots for Dummies'.

Iyou need to find your access key on the project honeypot site and it it into the field there...



And yes, use FTP or your file manager to load the project honeypot files to,your website and then put the link and the trigger word in those other fields.

Re: Bad Behavior mod - The Web's premier link spam killer (Now with SMF 2 httpBL)

Auke,



I have no idea what you are talking about. There is o need to do anything with php.



Once BB is installed, everything is handled through the admin interface, with the exception of uploading the honeypot file(s) to your website using FTP or your fi...

Okay, good I asked confirmation first...



Where can I find a step-by-step (SMALL steps please!) on how to get the PHP stuff working within BB?



BB already blocked some spammers, but several still slipped through. I hope connecting with PHP will enable BB...

Re: Bad Behavior mod - The Web's premier link spam killer (Now with SMF 2 httpBL)

On the QuickLink page of PHP there are a number of lines from which I apparently can choose one or more, e.g.:



<a href="http://ift.tt/1y28avL"><!-- format-adorable --></a>



After looking up what API means, I think I'm...

when you registered, you should have gotten an API and also gotten a set of files to download and place on your site

Re: Bad Behavior mod - The Web's premier link spam killer (Now with SMF 2 httpBL)

Okay, I just registered at Project Honey Pot.



In the Bad Behaviour settings I see 3 lines where I can (should?) enter something and which are obviously directly related to PHP:

- http:BL Access Key

- Honeypot Link

- Honeypot Link word



What should I ent...

Re: Bad Behavior mod - The Web's premier link spam killer (Now with SMF 2 httpBL)

No, not yet. Is that mandatory if you want BB to function? I had a look at the Honey Pot site, but the registration form asks me to sign for agreement with what I think is probably at least 10 pages of legal texts. That will take me some hours before I...

Did you sign up for a honeypot API ID?

Re: Bad Behavior mod - The Web's premier link spam killer (Now with SMF 2 httpBL)

Thanks Kindred. Didn't help me much though.



Anyway, I figured that probably one of the other installed mods was the culprit, so I've just uninstalled them one by one. And I actually found the problem! Apparently, Bad Behaviour has a problem when the mo...

Re: Bad Behavior mod - The Web's premier link spam killer (Now with SMF 2 httpBL)

@ Kindred:



I will upgrade to 2.0.9 when I'm sure the Bad Behaviour mod is not causing any troubles. I first would like to have 'decent protection' against those cursed spammers that I now have to remove manually each day.



@ all:



Apparently all is okay ...

Re: Bad Behavior mod - The Web's premier link spam killer (Now with SMF 2 httpBL)

I deleted Bad Behavior 1.5.17 via the package manager. I wish I could tell you that I uninstalled it first and then deleted it but I can't guarantee I did that.



I next attempted to install 1.5.18. My problem is that it appears as if 1.5.17 did not comp...

Re: Bad Behavior mod - The Web's premier link spam killer (Now with SMF 2 httpBL)

Thank you for your reply MovedGoalPosts! From your answer I conclude it may not be 100% safe. I really do need some decent protection though. I guess I'd best test Bad behaviour before actually putting it on my forum. Unfortunately, I [url=http://www.s...

Re: Bad Behavior mod - The Web's premier link spam killer (Now with SMF 2 httpBL)

I have the Bad Behavior mod and I'm wondering if I should check the option to "Block Empty User Agents." Does that mean that when someone is hiding their host, ip, etc. that it will block them? Because on my board those are almost always spammers or tr...
