Administrative and Maintenance Tools - ragtek Botscout Register Check

This add-on will compare the new users on registration with the data from botscout (botscout is a big botdatabase)

So if the user is a bot, he'll get an errormessage instead of being registered

How it's working:
The Ip and mailadress of the user who tries to register there will be send to botscout
now botscout sends an answer and you will know whetere if its a bot or not

the provider allows 20 requests per day
For more you have to organize a API key which you can get at www.botscout.com/getkey
in the VB Settings by the Userregistry options you have to enter the key(if you have one)



The second function against bots is the timecheck.
This modification is checking the timedifferenz between the call of the registerform and the submiting.
If it is sent to fast, you can be sure that it's a bot.






In the dontuploadfolder you'll find the english language file.

You'll find the seetings in the acp -> vBulletin Options ->User Registration Options

Is there anything we have to do in regards to the templateedits-ragtek_botscout text file. Its not in English so do not understand it.

Thanks!

Okay, instructions for the register template edit, first part I can understand using translation page:

Suchen Sie im Template register den folgenden Text
(Look for in the Template register the following text)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="$url" />

Second part:

Fügen Sie darüber den folgenden Text ein
(Insert over it the following text)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<input type="hidden" name="rag_bottime" value="$rag_bottime" />

Do we need to place the code above or replace it with <input type="hidden" name="rag_bottime" value="$rag_bottime" />?

Thanks!

I've had bots start to break through a few different plugins and recaptcha only over the last few weeks. They all use gmail, and somehow can't get themselves validated properly.

Will give this a go, looks promising. Thanks

Rag,

I have a few instances of vB running, powering total of 10+ domains (each with their own license).
But I can only get one API key for each instance. So if I put it on http://wetalk.tv/ and someone comes in from http://wetalkmovies.net/ the API key will return invalid and users can't register?

[ragtek]

why it should return invalid?
the api key is just that you can "check" for more bots

the provider allows 20 requests per day without api key

with api key you can check more

Just tell it to ignore version in regards to the language file.

Anyway this looks very good, will check this out tomorrow.

I must be missing something but from what I can see so isn't there any plugin code at all in the zip file. Also when going to the plugin manager and asks to check the php code for the hooks it's empty.
