Snitz GateKeeper Antispam
31 July 2006, 18:13
Similar to my last mod but should work with screenreaders so hopefully no accessability issues.
Based on the same idea as the WordPress GateKeeper Plugin This mod may help prevent bots (web robots) from doing the following on your forum;
1. Registering accounts automatically 2. Posting link spam automatically 3. Emailing your members automatically
It does this by asking the user to answer a unique (easy) question which the forum admin can set in the admin area. This is called a CAPTCHA test - Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. For more information on Captcha's see - http://www.captcha.net/. This mod should be compatible with screenreaders for accessability purposes.
Example Please do not use the question or answer in the above example. It would be the first thing programmed into a robot.
DownloadCourtesy of SnitzBitz Please post any problems in this thread.

Please go through and fix the read me. It is REALLY SCREWED UP! Almost every instance similar to this:
In so many places it is missing an AMPERSAND and some spots (following):
Code:
size=""
...it is missing a quote and ampersand (" &) This occurs in nearly every part of the readme. I ended up doing a "FIND" with Dreamweaver in the EDITED FILES and copy/pasted those into the appropriate spots. Just an FYI.

Just as an aside, and a true tale - I went into a local shop/store and asked for "two dozen stamps" once. I was told by a young male assistant that they didn't sell dozens but he could sell me two books of twelve if that was okay so maybe the answer isn't as simple to some lol<

There is only one question which you would have to manually rotate. The idea is to change the question at the first sign of spam. Most of the scripts/apps used to spam forums only work on the base release so installing any spam measure should stop them.
I've updated the zip at SnitzBitz
Any volunteers to test the new readme.html ?<

WP-Gatekeeper: The strength of Gatekeeper is that it allows you to create any number of challenges you like, and picks one at random to insert into the comment form
Thanks Podge. I just wasn't sure since it looks like the WP-Gatekeeper picks a question at random.
I am uncertain how the spammers are doing their thing. Since I have the Antispam Registration Add-On, it seems that the spammer does manually register. IF he/she saw the question, couldn't they adjust his/her script. A random question would stop them in their tracks. Forgive me, I am just thinking 'typing' out loud.
Really appreciate your time and effort in creating this mod. It will save many forums and their members from spam headaches. Can't thank you enough!<

Yes. This mod is not designed to stop human spammers, just automated scripts and apps which are designed to spam multiple forums at a time.<

Does this mod have any issues with 3.4.06?

Originally posted by favorini Does this mod have any issues with 3.4.06?
To answer my own question, the only significant change seems to be with pop_mail.asp, which has changed somewhat.
The second edit winds up going at line 181 of original file:
I think that the instructions for post.asp are wrong.
The code in question is around line 539 (abbreviated for clarity):
Code:
if mlev = 4 or mlev = 3 or mlev = 2 or mlev = 1 then 'Include username and password from cookie as hidden fields '(i.e., user is already authenticated)
else if (lcase(strNoCookies) = "1") or _ (strDBNTUserName = "" or strCkPassWord = "") then 'Include username and password text boxes so user can authenticate'#1 The instructions say put Gatekeeper prompt here
end if end if '#2 I think you should put Gatekeeper prompt here
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the prompt goes at #1, it will only show up when the user is not authenticated. If you move it to #2, it will always show up (if it's turned on), which is what you want, since the answer is always checked in post_info.asp.
-FF<
favorini
05 October 2006, 17:13
Another issue is in post_info.asp. The check for GateKeeper answer only occurs when posting a new topic, but not a reply. To include the check there also, edit the code near line 1005 of post_info.asp.
Add the part in green (same as the code added to the first part of post_info.asp):
Code:
if strSignatures = "1" and strDSignatures <> "1" then if Request.Form("sig") = "yes" and GetSig(strDBNTUserName) <> " " then txtMessage = txtMessage & vbNewline & vbNewline & ChkString(GetSig(strDBNTUserName), "signature" ) end if end if '################################ Begin GateKeeper AntiSpam Mod ################################# if strLinkSpamGatekeeper = "1" then select case len(Request.Form("GateKeeperAnswer")) case "0" Go_Result "You have not entered an answer for the Antispam question. Please use your back button and try again.", 0 case else if (lcase(Request.Form("GateKeeperAnswer")) <> lcase(strGatekeeperAnswer1)) and (lcase(Request.Form("GateKeeperAnswer")) <> lcase(strGatekeeperAnswer2)) then Go_Result "You have entered a wrong answer for the Antispam question.

I've only tried it on v3.5.05. I'll have a look at your suggestions tomorrow while I'm at work All of the spam I've seen has been a bot posting a new topic. It makes sense to prevent replies too. If you don't mind I'll add you code to the zip also.<

Yeah, I figured, but they will adapt eventually. By all means use anything I posted.

Another suggestion...
In post.asp, change the if to add the part in green:
Code:
if strLinkSpamGatekeeper = "1" and (strRqMethod = "Topic" or strRqMethod = "TopicQuote" or strRqMethod = "Reply" or strRqMethod = "ReplyQuote") then
The GateKeeper question isn't needed (or checked) when editing a topic/reply or creating/editing forums/URLs/categories.

Yep. Edit topic.asp in Sub QuickReply around line 1094.
Replace (add the green part, remove the red part)
if mlev = 4 or mlev = 3 or mlev = 2 or mlev = 1 then 'Include username and password from cookie as hidden fields '(i.e., user is already authenticated) else if (lcase(strNoCookies) = "1") or _ (strDBNTUserName = "" or strCkPassWord = "") then 'Include username and password text boxes so user can authenticate '#1 The instructions say put Gatekeeper prompt here end if end if '#2 I think you should put Gatekeeper prompt here
This still needs to be fixed, the question would not show until I moved the code block after the double "end if" as mentioned before.
Even with having to figure out these problems, it only took me 30 minutes or so.
Thanks Podge!

Newbie question:
Any changes required for 3.4.06?
Would it not be a good idea to remove the "Click to send email" link / function, replacing it with a "You can't email yet"-message? It would prevent legitimate but new members from spending time composing emals, just to get a NO message, which is frustrating.<
Podge
18 October 2006, 13:36

Thats OK, I will try manually inserting your code line by line instead of using the edited files.
What do you think of a scheeme like this:
- New user signs by entering only the email adderess (and CAPTCHA test). The address and a random number is stored as a temporary record.
- Confirmation mail with a signup link and random number is sent - Person completes the proper signup - If no response is recieved within x time, the temporary record is disabled/deleted.
This way the forum admin never needs to see the signups until the above procedure is completed.
<
Podge
19 October 2006, 12:03
Thats very like the way that email validation works at the moment only the random part is part of the "signup link" as a querystring.<

Hello there Podge, I just installed your MOD.
Great piece of software, I hope it'll solve my problems.
The setup hasn't been a problem, I just have two additional notes:
I think that the instructions for post.asp are wrong.
The code in question is around line 539 (abbreviated for clarity):
if mlev = 4 or mlev = 3 or mlev = 2 or mlev = 1 then 'Include username and password from cookie as hidden fields '(i.e., user is already authenticated) else if (lcase(strNoCookies) = "1") or _ (strDBNTUserName = "" or strCkPassWord = "") then 'Include username and password text boxes so user can authenticate '#1 The instructions say put Gatekeeper prompt here end if end if '#2 I think you should put Gatekeeper prompt here
Mmmhhh... Apparently, if the block is put in position #1, the antispam question will NOT be asked BUT new topics will be blocked.
However, if the Gatekeeper block is put in postion #2, it will ALWAYS ask the question, even to subscribers who are logged in. I don't think the avarage administrator wants it to work this way (oh, well.. at least I dont'... ).
Having to fill the answer field every time is extremely annoying and perhaps not very useful until a board doesn't have GREAT issues with spam.
Is there a way to let the admin choose between mode "ask the question when opening a new topic" and mode "let those who are logged in open new topics freely without antispam question"?.
Cheers - M.<

Originally posted by Podge I think you are wrong.
This happens most of the times. I am surprised at this strange gatekeeper behaviour, as other users told me it was feasible to set it in such a way that the antispam question was not asked at every new topic.
As I wasn't seeing a dedicated switch in the "features configuration" table, I then figured I had to put the block said above in postion #1, as in postion #2 the question was always asked. I could eventually have messed up something in this process, as I'm not an ace with asp and had to dig through all these previous posts to see what I could do. Here we go: (thanks for help)

Podge
28 November 2006, 08:39
I've been wrong on occassion too.
There are some slight differences between mine and your post.asp but nothing I can see which would cause the behaviour you're seeing.
If you put the GateKeeper code at #1 above then it will only be displayed when the username and password boxes are displayed (i.e. user is not logged in). If you put it at #2 then it will always be displayed. Your post.asp seems correct.
Do you have a link to your forum and a test login so I can test it?<

The problem is with post_info.asp, not post.asp.
post_info.asp has to check for the AntiSpam answer if you have "Link Spam Gatekeeper" turned on here - http://www.highinfidelity.net/genesisforum/admin_config_features.asp
If you add the following two red highlighted lines around the gatekeeper code in post_info.asp it may work. I'll test it fully when I get home;
Code:
'Gatekeeper Mod if (lcase(strNoCookies) = "1") or (strDBNTUserName = "" or strCkPassWord = "") then
if strLinkSpamGatekeeper = "1" then select case len(Request.Form("GateKeeperAnswer")) case "0" Go_Result "You have not entered an answer for the Antispam question. Please use your back button and try again.", 0 case else if (lcase(Request.Form("GateKeeperAnswer")) <> lcase(strGatekeeperAnswer1)) and (lcase(Request.Form("GateKeeperAnswer")) <> lcase(strGatekeeperAnswer2)) then Go_Result "You have entered a wrong answer for the Antispam question. Please use your back button and try again.", 0 end if end select end if end if
'Gatekeeper Mod
This hsould check to see if the user is logged in and if LinkSpamGatekeeper is enabled when posting. Let me know if you have have further problems with it.<

28 November 2006, 10:15
Podge, thank you SO MUCH, I will upload the new lines this evening and see. I didn't understand exactly what's the purpose of the link gatekeeper, by the way. Does it check if links has been put in the body of the post, perhaps?<
Podge
28 November 2006, 10:25
No it doesn't, although I believe someone has already implemented a mod for that some time ago.
The link spam bots usually make a post request to post_info.asp without going from post.asp. There is no way (that I know of) to tell whether a form field was hidden on post.asp or if it was not hidden (in the case of a bot or un-authenticated user) when making a HTTP POST request to post_info.asp.<
marckmcgill
29 November 2006, 04:39
Hello Podge, thanks for your support. Unfortunately adding the two lines didn't change things (I wonder if some cache is still reading the old file on the server, as the code you added makes a lot of sense).
I'm temporarily switching the "link spam" feature off. A webbot can't write spam if it hasn't already opened a valid account, am I right?
Please let me know if you have further thoughts. Cheers - Marco.<

Hello Podge
Having run a basic BBS for some time I decided to move to something with more facilities and loaded SNITZ. Having suffered previously with Spammers I downloaded your Gatekeeper with the intension of installing it, however, I have been a little put off by all the problems/changes identified by you and users. Can you tell me if the files I downloaded contain all the updates?
Thanks<
Podge
07 December 2006, 16:46
I updated the zip to fix the problems with the readme in the beginning. The code suggestions by other members have not been added.
Its not a difficult mod to get working.
The truth is, if you were to implement your own unique spam check it would prevent most bot spam. For instance, you could include a non-standard hidden form field on post.asp and check for it on post_info.asp.<

Hello Podge
I have carried out all the editing for the Gatekeeper mod but I have the problem that the Gatekeeper questions are not appearing when posting a new topic. The posting then fails as I have not answered the 'invisble' question.

Gog a 404 not found for your link.
Logged in users should not see the gatekeeper antispam question. Requiring login to access the forum has no bearing on the problem.
If you want to see the gatekeeper question, disable "Require registration", logout and then try to post a new topic. Before you can post you have to enter a username, password and gatekeeper answer along with the subject & text of the topic.<

Further to my last posting - I replaced my post.asp with the one in the downloaded edited folder.
The situation is this.
If I have Link Spam Gatekeeper set to on and do not register on entry - I get the request to register and the Gatekeeper question OK.
However, if I do register on entry and try to post, the three lines do not show but the posting is not permitted and I get the message
There has been a problem!
You have not entered an answer for the Antispam question. Please use your back button and try again But there is no question visible to answer.
Hope this gives you a clue.

Would I expect to or am I misunderstanding how this should work?

Don<
Podge
11 December 2006, 16:34
You are misunderstanding how this works. The link spam this mod is trying to stop is normally posted by a robot which sends a http POST request to post_info.asp. The robot doesn't support cookies (or doesn't try to fake them) so it sends the username & password directly to post_info.asp. It doesn't know the answer to the gatekeeper question so the spam is not posted. There is the possibility that its a person who just hasn't logged in or a person using a browser which does not support cookies (or has them turned off), thats why the question is shown on post.asp. If a user is logged in, they probably are human and are not asked the question.
favorini actually posted a fix for this earlier in the topic but I have yet to test it.

Turn off simple error messages and the technical information at the bottom of the (non-simple?) error message should at least give a clue as to what's going on. I'd also double-check your changes.

It should be working for v34.06. Its not shown to logged in users by design (as they are not spamming robots). Robots that POST to post_info.asp without being logged in will be challenged by the Gatekeeper.

I haven't installed the Captcha mod yet, as it said that there is some issues with it and to use gatekeeper instead. Is there a particular captcha that i should be installing? http://forum.gefen.com/<

There are accessibility issues with image captchas i.e. visually disabled people have great difficulty with them.
A Gatekeeper style captcha can be read by screen readers and are accessibility friendly.
Use Gatekeeper.<

Hi Podge ...
I too have read through this topic (several times), with the many suggestions on how to make it work - including changes to the files.
However, I am still to work out if the download includes the modified files or not; I have attempted an implementation using the "editted" files without success including some of the suggestions throughout this topic.
Is there a "working" set of files for this mod for Snitz 3.4.06..? Where do I get them?
Thanks!<

Can you post a txt version of your register.asp ?
http://www.endeavour.asn.au/forum/register.asp is broken.<

It should be OK now Podge - I think that was a leftover file from the mod when I was trying to make things work; the original file has been uploaded now. In any case it is here: http://www.endeavour.asn.au/forum/register.txt<

Can you turn off "Require registration" so I can check if gatekeeper is working for post.asp ?
Gatekeeper is turned off for registration.<

Podge ...
I have uploaded the "edited" files in the mod again; forum "Require Registration" is off and all options of Gatekeeper are On (by default).<

Theres an error on post.asp - http://www.endeavour.asn.au/forum/post.asp?method=Topic&FORUM_ID=81
You should apply the mod to register.asp and see if it works. There's no point in posting a default register.asp as a text file.<

Ok ... changed that. I have tried to Register but IE shows Page Cannot be Found for register.asp - your thoughts?<
Podge

You should change the extension from register.txt to register.asp
Apply the mod to it first.<

Podge ... the register.txt file is just the one you asked for earlier - it's not called (now removed). The register.asp file is the edited file included with the mod download ... how do I apply the mod to this file?<
Podge
22 November 2008, 12:05
There is still an error on post.asp and register.asp isn't there either
Given that the only change made to post.asp is the one above at line 1485 and that this file is the one included in the mod - not sure what else to tell you about it.
You say that register.asp isn't there - it sure is ... I can see it with ftp - I uploaded it again also ... what next?<

Can you post txt versions of both post.asp and register.asp ?
Whatever has been done to register.asp it is redirecting to itself. This is the error I get in Firefox - "Redirect Loop - Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."<

I'm not sure what you've done to post.asp but there are two Go-Result functions at the end of the file. It should look like this
You should use a 3.4.05 register.asp with a 3.4.06 forum. I think thats whats causing the redirect loop.
This is a correct register.asp for v3.4.06 with gatekeeper installed - http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dfps425d_0cpc42dcr<

OK ... seem to be getting somewhere now - have fixed your last two posts. Now, can register successfully (including Gatekeeper); however, when attempting to post, an error advising that the antispam question has not been answered appears - although there was no question in the form to answer.<

I need your post_info.txt<

Replace the Gatekeeper block of code in post_info.asp with this block of code
Code:
'Gatekeeper Mod if strLinkSpamGatekeeper = "1" and strDBNTUserName = "" then select case len(Request.Form("GateKeeperAnswer")) case "0" Go_Result "You have not entered an answer for the Antispam question. Please use your back button and try again.", 0 case else if (lcase(Request.Form("GateKeeperAnswer")) <> lcase(strGatekeeperAnswer1)) and (lcase(Request.Form("GateKeeperAnswer")) <> lcase(strGatekeeperAnswer2)) then Go_Result "You have entered a wrong answer for the Antispam question. Please use your back button and try again.", 0 end if end select end if 'Gatekeeper Mod

Podge ... I have made that change to post_info.asp and other than a script error in register.asp (that doesn't seem to effect anything) all seems to be working as it should.
Thanks for your help!<

Register.asp seems ok to me. I didn't see any script error.
post.asp isn't working as it should - http://www.endeavour.asn.au/forum/post.asp?method=Topic&FORUM_ID=37
Gatekeeper isn't showing when logged out and _result appears on the top left. I presume its part of the Go_Result function. Can you post a link to a txt version of your post.asp ?<
