Posted - 03 July 2009 : 13:23:02 Login Flood Control
This mod adds a login flood feature to your forums.
From the Readme
- Description
- Adds a login flood check to the forums
- Users are given a specified number of attempts to login
- Users that exceed the limit are redirected to the password recovery page if email is on or a warning page if email is off
- Users that exceed the limit must wait a specified amount of time before attempting to login again
- If a user tries to login during the waiting period, the waiting period starts all over and they are redirected to the password recovery page or login warning, depending on forum email
- There is a grace period between login attempts
- Features
- Admin on/off switch
- Admin sets login attempts
- Admin sets waiting period
- Admin on/off switch for grace period
- Admin sets grace period
It uses session variables to keep track of failed login attempts and hold the delay and grace period times.
Installation: Easy (It took me about 4 minutes useing the Readme)
Download: Snitzbitz
I recommend useing the readme file to install the mod. If you have a problem you can double check your code changes by looking a the reference files, just search the file for "Login Flood to find the changes.
There is some code near the top of the "inc_header.asp" reference file. It is not part of the mod! I left it there for people who wanted to test the functionality of the mod. It gives you an idea of whats going on. It should be removed when you are through testing.
If you have questions ask them here but if you have a problem installing the mod, please start a new topic in the "Help: Mod Implementation" forum. Be sure to mention "login flood" in the title.
Have fun |

Posted - 14 July 2009 : 05:52:08 I have this message on start
6 Failed login attempts. You can login now. Your login attempts will be set to 0 when you try to login again.
It seems that Session(strCookieURL & "login") isn't set to 0 when time expired

Posted - 13 July 2009 : 08:10:51 I had to look up "dictionary attack" :}, so I can't vouch for it but the wiki page says it will slow them down.

After the set number of failed log-in attempts, what exactly does the user see? I would like them to see something very similar to what leatherlips posted above in the 5th post. Is a change to inc_header the only necessary step?
The way the mod is, after the number of failed log in attempts, the user will see the following:
1. If you have email enabled they will be taken to the your password.asp page.
2. If you have email disable, they will be taken to the password2.asp page which tells them they have exceeded the number of log in attempts and will have to wait the specified period of time. |

Posted - 05 July 2009 : 22:10:05 I think I figured it out. It seems to be working correctly now. Here is what I did:
I moved my part in red to where it is now and I moved the part in green before the "end if". |

Posted - 05 July 2009 : 20:37:47 Hmm. I tried that and it still refreshes after two seconds instead of 60 in Firefox and Safari. |

Posted - 05 July 2009 : 20:15:46 Put your line before the "end if" above it ;o). |

Posted - 05 July 2009 : 19:36:28 I need a little help to the modification that I made.
I have this:
The part is red is supposed to only work if they did not log in correctly. It seems to work for IE and Opera but when I tried it in Safari and Firefox it did not work. It seemed to instead do the part in green. Do I have the red part in the right place? |

Posted - 04 July 2009 : 09:41:39 Thanks for the response.
I have one more question. During the waiting period before you can log back in, if you close the browser and then reopen it you don't have to wait any longer. Is their a way to make the cookie wait the specified period of time even if the user closes and then reopens the browser? I was using IE8. |
