[TAC] Fool Bot Honey Pot

[TAC] Fool Bot Honey Pot [Paid] 3.0.32

No permission to buy ($29.00)
@tenants - I had what appears to be a human spammer get past FBHP on Monday, and I'm currently using Q&A captcha.

Would it be possible for FBHP to pick up and log their Q&A answer on any successful registrations? This would help monitor which Q&A questions are and aren't working very well.

Yeah, I should introduce more bugs... so it gets talked about more often :D

Seriously, no issues that I know of and works on 1.2... currently stops 100% of bots without even being noticed by humans

I think the only one that might have issues on 1.2 is StopHumanSpam (and I'm currently looking at it)
 
Ah ha, there is a bug for 1.2, it's cosmetic.

If you refresh the registration page, every now and then one of the fields is misaligned. Just fixing
 
It's not worth updating the packs frequently, the most up to date versions will always be the individual add-ons. I will update the packs, but not immediately (if you have access to that pack, then you have access to the individual add-ons)
 
Not really, the update is there if you need it, if not, then it will be there when I update the packs (updating the packs is too time consuming to keep doing for minor updates, I'm sure I will update some of the other add-ons with other minor updates too).
 
This is little bit confusing Mike... :confused:
Just think of it like this
The big package is like a full meal deal. You get EVERYTHING all together.
The big package doesn't get updated often - BUT, when you have purchased the full package, you also have the ability to download the individual packages also. This will allow you to keep up to date with the latest without having to download a large package each time. The only real problem is, if you buy it and there has been an update out, most people will not know to download the individual update as they would expect it to be folded into the main package as soon as it was released.
 
Mike, does the table - sf_foolbothoneypot_uuids - get periodically truncated? I noticed last night my database backup was a lot smaller than it was the day before:

Code:
-rw-rw----+ 1 matt users  62M Jul 26 03:32 z22seforum.2013-07-26.sql.bz2
-rw-rw----+ 1 matt users  51M Jul 27 03:32 z22seforum.2013-07-27.sql.bz2

EDIT: never mind! Remembered it was updated yesterday, and looking in the Install.php file

PHP:
/* The primary key and structure of this table has changed, so drop and rebuild for upgrades / new installs */
        $db->query("
            DROP TABLE IF EXISTS
                `sf_foolbothoneypot_uuids`
        ");

At least I know where and why I'm down 120mb of data
 
Hmm, it would be a good idea to set a cron to clear up this table (at least weekly). They are only temp ids, they shouldn't be taking up that much space

To do /* Add cron job to clear up temp uuids */ ( I thought I had already done this, clearly not)
 
Have you thought about adding Bad Bahavior as an option? In addition to stopping bots from registering it'll also block bot/scraper traffic in general.
