ragtek Botscout Register Check · **Released**: 03-11-2009

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

German Info: http://ragtek.org/blog/vbulletin/rag...egister-check/

History:
1.0.0
Added registrationtime check
Added registrationsupport if botscout is down

I tested the new 1.0.1 version and yes now its correct. Tested both with a correct and a bot user. Thanks! Hopefully this will keep the last few bots away from the forum.

Just installed something similar which checks a database of bots twice the size of BotScout

But if that one fails i'll definitely be giving this one a go, because reCaptcha is useless.

Second part:

F?gen Sie dar?ber 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!

Still looking for an answer on the edit for the register template.

?

what does this mean??

Code:

Registrierung sperren
Soll die Registrierung gesperrt werden, falls der Botscout Service nicht verf?gbar ist?

ragtek · #70 05-05-2009, 06:48 AM

hmm i thought i have translated everything, strange
it means: If the registration should be closed if botscout is not available

pls click installed if you use it

djXpire2 · #71 05-05-2009, 07:22 AM

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
