Hello,

as i mentioned in the title, in the last 4 weeks i got a spam wave on my site.
There were a lot of bot-registrations from the IP 121.205.201.88.
First i only deleted them, but now finally i blacklisted the IP.

I hope it is good for now.
Is there a project that dedicates itself to security issues or similar things?
Somewhere where i can report the ip so that others can blacklist the same ip?

Well, yes and no. Really, ip is by country then ISP oriented. Like mine, my ISP package is a dynamic ip range gateway. Blacklisting to db is one part, but the real objective here is to identify what's human, what's bot. We are more interested in discovering ways to defeat botting, flood control, back gate access, etc.. than blacklist as a solution at this moment.

No CMS is secure against bots. In this, Only how severe it gets, that's why we have admins and moderation. We will be increasing our misuse agents, that's for sure. However, we need pattern studies, first by implementing chart studies, user names config, and then auto blocking based on our findings.

If you do have a pattern study, please do inform us. :) thanks for sharing..

Thank you Wanabo!

So i tried the Protection-Mod against proxy-registrations, but it doesn't seem to work.
I tested it via this proxy: http://4lwaysfree.unlimitaccess4u.info

If i open registration form it's business as usual, no message or anything.

Edit: I think i found the reason:
Your code says:

if (empty($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']))

Shouldn't it be:

if (!empty($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']))


Edit2: No your code is right, my fault, but still doesn't work...
