Erm, sorry, but I didn't fail to read anything, he actually mentions the bot trap on the same page and even provides a link to said bot trap:

http://www.kloth.net/internet/bottrap.php

That was the main reason I posted the link to the page and it was the first thing I actually created for myself after reading the article.

Hence he has a bot trap to deal with them instead. ;)

I know... :p

I thought it made sense to provide a link to something that would give a little better understanding of some of the spiders, for those installing this script that's all, I was only trying to be helpful, I just got myself a little confused with that reply above, after all i'm normally posting on here at 4-5 am after being up 18-20hrs. :(

The link was very useful and thanks for posting it. :)
I can verify the the bot-trap dir and blacklist.dat file works quite nicely. I have yet to implement the full function of the blacklist.dat for blocking to vb tho. Im not sure of the best way to do this. perhaps a simple include hook in global_start would work ?

Great hack, but I'm having the problem where it doesn't display my board's default timezone offset.

Is there a way to set it so it uses a user's offset preference?

I working on version 1.0.0 Beta 4 right now. It should fix the time/date issue, a possible SQL injection exploit, and the high number of queries. I'm letting it run on one of my sites now to gather up a bunch of spider data so I can see if the number of queries drops. If it does, I'll package it up and will post an update tonight or tomorrow morning.

In the mean time, somebody notified me via e-mail that the plug-in can be exploited by a malicious user... So, for the time being, if you'd like to diable the "Spider Watcher" plug-in (under the global_start hook location) you can do that and you'll be safe. Or you can either wait for the update or modify the code yourself.

Here's the updated code for the plug-in:

Code:

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])

{

    $ip_address_parts = explode(".", $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

    $ip_address = $ip_address_parts[0] * pow(256,3) + $ip_address_parts[1] * pow(256,2) + $ip_address_parts[2] * pow(256,1) + $ip_address_parts[3] * pow(256,0);



$write_bot = $db->query_first("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "bots (bot, ip_address, page, timestamp) VALUES ('" . $vbulletin->db->escape_string(trim($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) . "','" . $ip_address . "','" . THIS_SCRIPT . "', NOW())");

}

I looked at your online demo and I didn't see any mention of activity in the archive. Does this script not track spiders there?

Are the times & dates being displayed properly for you?
Have the number of queries decreased for you?
