Check Proxy RBL on New User Registration.

Check Proxy RBL on New User Registration Version 4.1
Version 4.1 includes remains unchanged from version 4.0 with the exception of a code fix to deal with an SQL injection security hole in the code. What does this hack do? Hooking in at register_addmember_process and register_addmember_complete this hack compares the IP address of the person registering with the Realtime Block List(s) of your choice. Based on your configuration the RBL Checker will then perform one of these actions:
These options are configurable in AdminCP > Options > DM-RBL Check on Registration. Why Block Proxies? Banned and Spammers users often get around IP bans by simply using an open proxy - of which there are thousands - to get around the IP ban. Very few legitimate users slow their surfing by using an anonymous proxy. How do you Install?
What is the default config? By default the RBLChecker will check the IP of a new registration, allow registration to complete, but add the new user to the "COPPA Members Awaiting Moderation" usergroup. You can then approve/reject those members depending on whether you think they are/aren't spammers/trolls. You can modify the settings in the AdminCP to Ban or Block as you like. Hack History: Version 4.1 - Fixed SQL Injection security hole. - Fixed some minor typos in automatically generated messages. Version 4.0 - Added ability to specify error reported on blocks. - Added ability to specify ban reason and custom title. - Added ability to move users to "pending moderation" group if registration is allowed. - Updated list of RBLs checked based on testing with lists of "anonymous" proxies. - Fixed IP address of Notification Posts equalling IP of blocked user. (Now Notification IP = 1.2.3.4) Version 3.2 - Fixed typo causing blocked registrations to be reported as allowed. Version 3.1 - change in variable name in v3.0 broke RBL checking. Corrected error. - match notification now includes the name of the RBL that matches the IP. Version 3.0 - plugin now fires at "register_addmember_process" allowing the user to completely fill in the form. - Added the ability to specify more than one RBL. - Added option to specify whether registration is blocked or allowed to complete. - Added option to automatically ban registrations that are allowed to complete but have a positive IP match. - Added option to specify user who is "notifier". - Added option to specify a forum where a notification thread will be created. - Added option to supress notification PM / Thread when an IP matches blacklist or known proxy list. - Added customized error codes for notifications - notification now indicates whether a registration IP has matched the RBL, blacklist, or predefined list of anonymizers. - Reworded Phrases. - Removed 10.x.x.x IP from known proxy/anonymizer list. version 2.0 - Added configuration options under vboptions > DM-RBL Check on Registration. - Added PM on Block. - Added option to select RBL. - Added Custom Whitelist. - Added Custom Blacklist. - Added list of free proxies. - Changed default RBL to sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org - Added option to enable/disable checking. version 1.0 - added plugin to check against opm.tornevall.org - added custom phrase to be reported as error on registration start.

First I would like to say I really appreciate this hack as it saves me a lot of hassle.
I noticed that when it catches someone trying to use a hidden ip address even though the settings are set to ban user, it does not. What it does during registration is that will does not accept the human verification answer and allows them to continue to try. If any help is available on this I would appreciate it greatly. |

After doing a little testing I found that banning does not occur unless the second notification window appears to the person logging in.
It would be nice to have this banning action occur on the first message of notifying the register of using a proxy server. To test this I used this and was caught http://www.freeproxyserver.net/ and this one got through do to it not getting the second notice http://www.cantbustme.com/ I still like the hack but just wanted to pass this along as I am really getting hit hard by an idiot. |

I do not know if this link has been listed but it helps in finding the servers you want to use.
http://openrbl.org/ use the OpenRBL JS Client, it uses java and you can see which list blockers catch the ip's you want to block. I try and limit the amount of blocking sites as possible so to avoid valid people are not affected. |
