THIS MOD WAS DEVELOPED BY Simon Hind of The Support Forum PLEASE REMEMBER TO RATE MY MOD REMEMBER TO "MARK AS INSTALLED" if you like this mod please Nominate for MOTM MOD Live on http://www.thesupportforum.co.uk http://www.legijastranaca.com This MOD works on : All vBulletin4 versions How does it work? AbyssGuard matches the actions and IP addresses of the visitors against predefined lists with malicious actions thus preventing them from viewing your website. The IP matching is done via the http:BL service of Project Honey Pot. in some cases you will find that Googlebot will show as referer spam, this "DOES NOT" mean it is blocked the only blocked activity is and must be on their httbl list here's an example if someone pass Google User Agent it?s being checked. First the httpBL of Project Honey Pot matches up the IP against their database, if it?s Google they?ll know and further execution of the script will be terminated. If they don?t recognize it as Google or you don?t have this option enabled, the script will check if the given user has passed a Referer. Google and any other major Search Engine will NEVER pass a referer, so it?s most possibly a referer spammer disguised as Google. legitimate Googlebot not to pass header Accept and I have information for one more case where it accepted a cookie. But if Google can?t access a page they try again the next second with different IP and the right tags. Generally nothing to worry about Furthermore you can check from Google Webmaster Tools if your web site is accessible by Googlebot, just to be sure. Requires: Server that can run PHP. this will run on every vbulletin board version from VB4, VB3 has not been tested signup with Project Honey Pot if you are a developer and using this mod, if you have rewrote any part of this and wish to share to help the improvement of this please PM me, you will be added to CoAuthor / Supporter Section.

The technique involves making repeated web site requests using a fake referrer URL that points to the site the spammer wishes to advertise.[2] Sites that publicize their access logs, including referrer statistics, will then inadvertently link back to the spammer's site. These links will be indexed by search engines as they crawl the access logs.This benefits the spammer because of the free link, which gives the spammer's site improved search engine ranking due to link-counting algorithms that search engines use. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - DID YOU KNOW : Bad Cookies These types of cookies can be used to store and track your activity online. Cookies that watch your online activity are called malicious or tracking cookies. These are the bad cookies to watch for, because they track you and your surfing habits, over time, to build a profile of your interests. Once that profile contains enough information there is a good chance that your information can be sold to an advertising company who then uses this profile information to target you with interest specific adverts. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - if you are browsing your website with bad cookies on your computer it can crawl your website in disguise of a search engine, they use legitimate cookies which holds legitimate search engine IP's to crawl your website for information this is why the logvier will show them as referer spam Copyright ?2012 The Support Forum, All Rights Reserved. you have only permission to use, not copy modify sell or distribute this software IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SUPPORT FORUM BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGE TO CODE, OR MODIFIED VERSION NOT MADE BY OUR CODING TEAM we will support only the unmodified versions on request from this thread or our website Supporters / CoAuthors Show Your Support
