I've just installed due to a recent bombardment of registrations of a suspicious nature. Let's hope it works.

We are using the "skip rules" plugin and have our forum rules as part of the register page. We found this increases sign-up rates. However, it means we cannot use this Stop Registration Bots plugin. Would it be possible to change the plugin so it doesn't rely on the user passing through the rules page first?

ZB BLOCK
Don't let the robots in the door!
A GPL V2 PHP Protection Script for your site.

This php security script is designed to detect certain behaviors detrimental to websites, or known bad addresses attempting to access your site. It then will send the bad robot (usually) or hacker an authentic 403 FORBIDDEN page with a description of what the problem was. If the attacker persists, then they will be served up a permanently recurring 503 OVERLOAD message with a 24 hour timeout.
Thanks for this link! This is exactly what I have been looking for as I am continuously being bombarded with hacker-bots attacking my register.php script, leading my ISP to threaten to close down my site for using too much of the shared resources.

I've installed it and already the log fie is showing many malicious bots being turned away. We'll see how it goes...but looks good!

Plenty welcome. My killed_log.txt files typically run 2mb/mo in size, so you can just image how many undesirables ZB BLOCK keeps off our website. Several admins have had a few issues with it, but as with any new program there's going to be a learning curve. Zaphod is great about responding to questions and will help you any way you can. Just watch your logs for awhile, and you'll soon be able to pick out anything questionable you might want to allow onto your site. See also, General Request - Zb Block - Stop Spam & 'bots @ Server

Thank you! This was right on time. I recently reopened my board registration and I got hit with spam bots. I hope this helps.

Okay, I have a problem - this hack disabled my Thank You Hack. How can I prevent that from happening?

Anyone know how to disable the email that says: "Possible Bot denied forum registration"?

Go to vBulletin Options -> Stop the Registration Bots Options -> Email Notification and check no.
