Honey pot and Login Tools?

[bburgess]

Hi Pablo

Do you know if I can use the Anti Spam Honey Pot technique in conjuction with the Login Tools > Signup Object?

Or will the database have a meltdown?

Honey Pot: Place an edit box into the form, give it an enticing name, hide it from humans, if its filled in its a spam bot.

can not really test this as I have no SPam Bots

Cheers
BB

It may work, but the code to ignore the honey pot input needs to be implemented by yourself. There is no standard option for this.

@bburgess
hi, it is not as simple as it seems and nowadays it is easily fooled by bots
as i am not so known (lol) my proprietary method (based on honeypot variants and other techniques as well) stopped 100% the bot-based spams (my forms were attacked by 600 hacking attempts per hour during 3 days at different time-frames)
perhaps you may want to take a look at this: viewtopic.php?f=53&t=59001
it works both visually and silently behind the scenes
