Overview |
| 14 |
|
-------- |
| 15 |
|
Bad Behavior is a set of PHP scripts which prevents spambots from |
| 16 |
|
accessing your site by analyzing their actual HTTP requests and |
| 17 |
|
comparing them to profiles from known spambots. It goes far beyond |
| 18 |
|
User-Agent and Referer, however. |
| 19 |
|
|
| 20 |
|
The problem: Spammers run automated scripts which read everything on |
| 21 |
|
your web site, harvest email addresses, and if you have a blog, forum |
| 22 |
|
or wiki, will post spam directly to your site. They also put false |
| 23 |
|
referrers in your server log trying to get their links posted through |
| 24 |
|
your stats page. |
| 25 |
|
|
| 26 |
|
As the operator of a Web site, this can cause you several |
| 27 |
|
problems. First, the spammers are wasting your bandwidth, which you |
| 28 |
|
may well be paying for. Second, they are posting comments to any form |
| 29 |
|
they can find, filling your web site with unwanted (and unpaid!) ads |
| 30 |
|
for their products. Last but not least, they harvest any email |
| 31 |
|
addresses they can find and sell those to other spammers, who fill |
| 32 |
|
your inbox with more unwanted ads. |
| 33 |
|
|
| 34 |
|
Bad Behavior intends to target any malicious software directed at a |
| 35 |
|
Web site, whether it be a spambot, ill-designed search engine bot, or |
| 36 |
|
system crackers. |
