Prior to using it, I was getting anywhere from 10 - 30 spam bots registering on my forum a day, and around 15 or so spam posts per day. After installing this hack its been reduced to around 1 spam post per day, some times none.

At first the results were minimul (My recomendation - DO NOT use a mathmatical question). My question was "What is 10 + 10". The spam bots go by that no problem. When I changed my questions to "What Company makes the PlayStation 3?" the Spam bots stopped registering almost immediatly. Now the spam posts are all done manualy by kids trying to advertise their own forums, and I'll take that spam any day over porn and pharmacuticals.

Great job!

Of course never use mathematical question they are too easy to be broke, I'm using the human verification system builtin vbulletin 3.7 with 5 questions without any other verification like image or nospam and for now 0 bots registered with theses questions:
  • What are the 4 last letters of the word 'Security' ?
  • Finish DeNiro's famous phrase in Taxi 'Are you talking to...'
  • What's a poc ? An explo...
  • G.Bush is president of the US...
  • The #1 search engines around the world is Goo...

This stopped 100% bots.

What about the few real hackers there is outta there who found that bug and exploited it so far before it has been found ? Thanks for the info ZomgStuff

You aren't doing any of us a bit of good by telling us about this exploit. You are allowing hackers with nothing better to do than to screw up our sites that they have a new project now. The best way to report an exploit is to report it to the developer. That has ALWAYS been the preferred method and probably always will be.

I deleted my post, but I just wanted to let you guys know that someone is possible, so you don't have a false sense of security an then bam.

This can be a rather simple fix, and the best part is that you could fix it with a number of different ways.

Welcome to the Full-Disclosure world. you didn't have to remove your post... Now you can wait 3month for a new patch... I have been alerting about a zoints tag bug recently and it has been patched the same day... Now do not expect that.

If it takes more than a week I'll just edit the mod for myself I'll gladly tell someone what to edit to fix it.

Thank you for the nice mod.

In your main post, you make no mention of the integration file. I downloaded and opened it on the off chance that I might need it, but I am still unsure whether I do or not. Should the template mods be applied only if the product doesn't install properly?

Why don't you follow proper procedures and report the found vulnerability so staff can handle it?
