http:BL
praseodym - April 30, 2007 - 13:03
Implementation of http:BL for Drupal. http:BL can prevent email address harvesters and comment spammers from visiting your site by using a centralized DNS blacklist. It requires a free Project Honey Pot membership. This module provides efficient blacklist lookups and blocks malicious visitors effectively.
Features:
- http:BL lookups for visitor IPs
- Blocking of requests coming from blacklisted IPs
- Database caching, decreasing the number of DNS lookups
- Honeypot link placement on ban page and optionally in footer
- Custom ban message
- Whitelisting through the access table (admin/user/access)
- Greylisting: grants the user access if he passes a simple test
- Checking only when a comment is placed,
queueing the comment for moderation if the lookup is positive - Basic statistics on the number of blocked visits
Note that the module can also function without http:BL functionality -- its use will then be limited to the placement of a Honeypot link in the footer.
