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.

Visit http://bad-behavior.ioerror.us/ for more.

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'm seeing a lot of these in the logs, does this mean that it is blocking blackberry users?

Code:

Thats just someone picking up your RSS feeds via their blackberry, or it's a bot with a malformed useragent attemptng to retrieve your RSS of your site.

That's not cool, it's reducing traffic to my forum from probably legitimate members that are just not logged in, and now it seems to be blocking Amazon and Alexa, how do I unblock them?

Code:
ia_archiver (+http://www.alexa.com/site/help/webmasters; crawler@alexa.com)

Actually, nevermind, I'm going to uninstall this mod, seems like far too many legitimate users and websites being blocked. My site is too busy to have to keep checking logs like this. Excellent mod though but just not for me, thanks.

You do know that alexa is spyware and that amazon is a cloud? Its completely unrelated to websites like amazon.com Users operating from a cloud surely are no legitimate users. This addon does not block websites, but bots.

If you want to unblock a user agent, then just add it to the whitelist.ini file.

How can Alexa be spyware, it's a website/company just recently purchased by Amazon, surely they wouldn't buy spyware companies? Alexa is well known for it's site monitoring statistics, I use it all the time, to me it's a simplified version of Google Analytics as it crawls your website in a fairly similar way. Or is there something I am missing?

While I can appreciate that 100%, I really can't be spending hours and hours going through literally hundreds of log entries every day looking for legitimate user agents.

Like I said, this seems like a really fantastic mod, but it's just not for me, my forum is really busy and I need to concentrate on the content and the members rather than digging through log entries on a daily basis, but thanks for your help, as always it is appreciated.

Alexa is about as much use as a chocolate tea pot.
A lot / if not all of their data is from people that have their tool bar
About 1/1000 of my traffic uses their tool bar.
Compare that to the google tool bar users and there is no comparison on which company you trust for true statistics
