[OzzModz] Registration Spaminator Stop Spam Bot Registrations [Paid] 2.2.0

[diretur]

I actually had my first spammer happen last night, from China. Actually posted a spam message, but it was a human being. In a matter of four minutes, the person used 9 different IP addresses. I don't fault the Spaminator, because it wasn't an automated registration attempt (as far as I can tell).

In 2.5 weeks, I'm at 2,914 attempts foiled, as of right now.

same here, it happened a couple of times in the last weeks.


It uses the same nickname + a number:

Yes, human spammers are bound to get in. This is where individual sites need to tweak their spam prevention such as "Spam phrases" to catch them.

What exactly is the 'user agent' column in the log? It does not seem to show the bot reported user agent as far as I can tell. Every entry on my log has the exact same list of user agents as follows:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.84 Safari/537.36

UA is normally just spoofed, by the bot program. Alternatively it CAN be the actual UA of the particular zombie computer being used by the program. We capture the UA as a diagnostic tool, really - for if there's an investigation of a false positive. False positives CAN happen with this, when it is in test mode. This is why we automatically turn test mode off after 5 minutes.

The UA you're posting means this is or is claiming to be a 64 bit Win10 computer using the Chrome 68 browser.

Gerry, you should update to latest version.

I'm testing this add-on since 1+ month on a very big forum with reCAPTCHA (and some custom add-ons) disabled and we didn't have any spam posts in more than 1 month


Registration Spaminator & Login Spaminator add-ons are a "Must Have" for every Xenforo forum.

Your site rocks by the way. You've done a great job with it.

 

[gerryvz]

Gerry, you should update to latest version.

Hmm, when I log into the site, it's telling me I need to pay $30 again for the latest version. Weird. I think $60 for two versions of the same software so soon (1.1.0 vs. 1.1.1) is too much money to spend at this time.

That's incorrect, updates are free. DM ozzy47 there.

Probably just a glitch.

I was locked out of the site for too many attempts to sign in. So I'll pick it up when I get home tomorrow.

Bought and installed this add-on yesterday. Already 34 bots in the logging, holy crap.

Never knew we were targeted that much (Dutch big board).

Wait until they try to "storm the gate" and you collect 3,000 of them in 30 minutes like @bevans84 had happen - and still, nothing got through.

 

[gerryvz]

I'm at 4,780 as of right now. Seems to be around 100-150 attempts per day.

That's true, I've actually had several similar attempts since and I'm kinda getting used to it.

The logs don’t support mobile view right?
