Bad Behavior is a PHP-based solution for blocking link spam and the robots which deliver it. Bad Behavior complements other link spam solutions by acting as a gatekeeper, preventing spammers from ever delivering their junk, and in many cases, from ever reading your site in the first place. This keeps your site's load down, makes your site logs cleaner, and can help prevent denial of service conditions caused by spammers. Visit http://bad-behavior.ioerror.us/ for more. Features For more information on the features of Bad Behavior (and subsequently this mod) please go to Bad Behavior's site: http://bad-behavior.ioerror.us/documentation/benefits/ For features related to the mod itself, please take a look at the screenshots. This mod should work with the entire 3.x series (well, beginning with 3.5), but it's only been tested on 3.8.x. I'm not sure if this works on vB 4.x yet, as I've not tested it - but if you try it out, let me know! Installation 1. Extract the contents of the zip file. 2. Upload the contents of the `upload` folder to your forum root. 3. Enter your AdminCP and go to Plugins & Products > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product] 4. Import the product using the `product-vb_badbehavior.xml` file. 5. Configure the mod in AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> vB Bad Behavior Options Upgrading vB Bad Behavior In many cases, all you'll need to do to upgrade is follow the installation instructions above. The only difference, will be you'll need to allow the files to overwrite. Also, when re-importing the product file, you'll need to set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes". Bad Behavior Bad Behavior's files are at `/includes/bad-behavior/`. If you wish to update manually go to: http://bad-behavior.ioerror.us/download/ And download the latest development version. Extract the zip, and upload the contents of `bad-behavior` to `/includes/bad-behavior/` allowing the files to overwrite.

The screenshots look very nice; I'm going to throw this up on a dev box with 4.1 later and see what happens.
By the way, 2.1.11 is quite stable now; it's going to end up being the 2.2 release candidate shortly (I have to fix some stuff in the MediaWiki port first). Then I can get down to the business of squashing some completely new spammers who have been annoying me lately.

Thanks Eric. Does the log show only the users / bots that have been blocked? I see valid users in the log. I have just installed this addon a few minutes ago and already have 491 entries.

If "Verbose" is enabled, it logs everything, but if the code is 00000000, that means they have not been blocked. You may want to set "Verbose" to "No" to only log suspicious requests/bots (including blocks).
EDIT: error10 beat me to it  It appears I have "Verbose" defaulted to "Yes", maybe I should change that in the next release.

Speaking of which, I just posted my official announcement. I hope you like it.

Verbose logging is off. The code is 00000000 for valid users.
As a side note: The Project Honeypot website is not very structured. It took me a while to find where I needed to go here for a BL API key. So here is the url so that others don't have to search: http://www.projecthoneypot.org/httpbl_configure.php Could be handy to add to the instructions.

And, awesome! Thanks for the blog post, and well.. Bad Behavior itself I have this modification implemented on a forum with nearly 200,000 members, and millions of pageviews/mo - and it's working flawlessly. After 24 hours of use: "There are 3,441 total log entries." (that's not counting the 00000000 entries)

EDIT: Thank you for the more direct link for http:BL - I'll be sure to include that.

If you defaulted it to Yes, but it did not show up as Yes in the Admin CP, then it might just need to be toggled on and back off.

I have just toggled the it, and saved it. But it still shows the 00000000 entries. Its no biggie though. I'm happy as can be that Bad Behavior is finally available for vbulletin.
It will be interesting to see how much server resources / bandwidth this will safe for my big board. And how much the spam bot registrations will go down.
