http:BL plugin for Joomla! 1.5
August 8th, 2007
After joining Project Honey Pot and their release of http:BL, I wanted it to use on my blog and Joomla! sites, for wordpress there was already a plugin that does the job, but couldn’t find any for Joomla! so I made a system plugin.
http:BL System Plugin allows you to verify IP addresses of clients connecting to your website against the Project Honey Pot database. It checks whether your visitor is an email harvester, a comment spammer or any other malicious client. Communication with verification server is done via DNS request mechanism.
Now, thanks to http:BL System Plugin any potentially harmful clients are denied from accessing your website and therefore abusing it.
