What is vB Bad Behavior?
This is an integration of the Bad Behavior software with vBulletin.

What is Bad Behavior?
Bad Behavior is a PHP-based solution for blocking link spam and the robots which deliver it. Bad Behavior complements other link spam solutions by acting as a gatekeeper, preventing spammers from ever delivering their junk, and in many cases, from ever reading your site in the first place. This keeps your site's load down, makes your site logs cleaner, and can help prevent denial of service conditions caused by spammers.

Features
For more information on the features of Bad Behavior (and subsequently this mod) please go to Bad Behavior's site:

http://bad-behavior.ioerror.us/documentation/benefits/

For features related to the mod itself, please take a look at the screenshots.

This mod should work with the entire 3.x series (well, beginning with 3.5), but it's only been tested on 3.8.x. I'm not sure if this works on vB 4.x yet, as I've not tested it - but if you try it out, let me know!

Installation
1. Extract the contents of the zip file.
2. Upload the contents of the `upload` folder to your forum root.
3. Enter your AdminCP and go to Plugins & Products > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
4. Import the product using the `product-vb_badbehavior.xml` file.
5. Configure the mod in AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> vB Bad Behavior Options

Upgrading

vB Bad Behavior
In many cases, all you'll need to do to upgrade is follow the installation instructions above.

The only difference, will be you'll need to allow the files to overwrite. Also, when re-importing the product file, you'll need to set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes".

Bad Behavior
Bad Behavior's files are at `/includes/bad-behavior/`. If you wish to update manually go to:

http://bad-behavior.ioerror.us/download/

And download the latest development version. Extract the zip, and upload the contents of `bad-behavior` to `/includes/bad-behavior/` allowing the files to overwrite.

Versions
The current version of Bad Behavior this mod is using is: v2.2.14
The current version of Bad Behavior (development) is: v2.2.14

I have not received a quote on a job that I sent through your 'get a quote' link in your signature. Please check.

Would you mind re-sending it? I do not recall ever getting an email from you, and I cannot seem to find it anywhere. My apologies.

[Alfa1]

Will do.

Uhm, wtf? Im getting an extremely insane 404 page.

I haven't had a single entry in my bad behavior log since Tuesday morning when I whitelisted the Amazon associates bot.

I double checked the syntax of the whitelist.ini file and it seems OK. Is it typical to go for a couple days with no rejections logged? I did verify that logging was set to YES.

Noticed a fault with this
People with no user agent get the 0000000 error and then go on to rip the hell out the forums
Its not blocking those that try to sneak by with no user agent.
One person hit me several hundred times through this

Eric, if and when you read this, I am waiting on a quote from you for making an alteration to this for me, so if someone hits with a banned user agent it blocks the ip for x amount of days.
The clowns with xrummer hit multiple times from, rotating their user agents. So you might block one agent but they will get you with the others they have set up

Im almost on first name terms with the guys that hit me five or six hundred times a day

[Lee G]

If anyone else is getting the same as me.
I believe its one file to edit

Go into the Bad Behavior folder and find the responses.inc file
Open that with wordpad etc and look for

'00000000' => array('response' =>

Its about five lines down from the top

I have changed mine to

'00000000' => array('response' => 403, 'explanation' => 'An invalid request was received from your browser. This may be caused by a malfunctioning proxy server or browser privacy software.', 'log' => 'Required header \'Accept\' missing'),

I was tempted to change it to this

'00000000' => array('response' => 403, 'explanation' => 'You do not have permission to access this server.', 'log' => 'I know you and I don\'t like you, dirty spammer.'),

[Simon Lloyd]

Lee are you sure on this?, doesn't the 00000000 also refer to valid users?, users that do not have a user agent are being blocked by my version of vbBad Behaviour. Maybe ask Eric when he has time to take a look at your setup/settings.

[Lee G]

I just tried my forum from the user agent test page at bots vs browsers
http://www.botsvsbrowsers.com/SimulateUserAgent.asp

All worked fine on there som Im not blocking genuine users

Im not sure the above is working though. It was a 2am special this end
