Users manual

- Install the extension and insert your http:BL access key in the configuration. You can get a key at httpbl.org or projecthoneypot.org.

- You can adjust the required type for an IP to be blocked and the message that is shown to blocked users in the extension configuration. Possible types are:

0 => 'Search Engine',

1 => 'Suspicious',

2 => 'Harvester',

3 => 'Suspicious & Harvester',

4 => 'Comment Spammer',

5 => 'Suspicious & Comment Spammer',

6 => 'Harvester & Comment Spammer',

7 => 'Suspicious & Harvester & Comment Spammer'

- You are encouraged to insert a “Honey Pot” on your website to find more spam bots and help the “Honey Pot Community”. Once you have a “Honey Pot” link, you can set it up in the extension configuration and it will be automatically added to your website without being seen by human people.

- More information at https://www.projecthoneypot.org/

Adminstration

- There is a backend module there you can whitelist IP's or watch the protocol of blocked ones.

Known problems

- Nothing yet, please inform me if you find something: info@marc- hoersken.de
