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

Looks good, I've installed without any problems. I already use recaptcha, so bots weren't really a problem, but you can never be too safe.
