Suspect members? Do we make brownies of them?

I hope so. I was hoping for a gigantic batch. Why do you think I went all the way through "A"?
I hope there's enough for frosting....

For whatever reason the spammers found the forum about this time last year...
ALmost all of the spam accounts are from some odd place... quite a few from Croatia. I'm not sure what that's about.
I figure that if they know they might be eaten it might cut down on the spam-member clutter.
That and I really want brownies.

Pretty much anybody with a bb style forum gets oodles of these guys. The clutter they cause tends to bog down the mysql database back end, causing the site to be slow, unresponsive an occasionally crash...like these forums are prone to do (as well as many others). Most of them are bots.

Two levels of enforcement that tend to work are:
1) Increasing the obfuscation on the secret word for account creation to maximum. (For some reason the good bots can still manipulate the first two levels of obfuscation.)
2) Enforcing hand-approved account creation. (This one is a pain for a large site, as the approvals required can quickly out-pace and administrator.)

Post by: El Diablo on June 01, 2010, 03:05:56 PM
I changed my member form to require a 123 entered, and that stopped the bots. if I see a lot of attempted posts to my forum, I'm going to just alter the names of the forms used in membering and submitting. They can then just eat 404 .
Title: Re: More Suspect Members
Post by: Chiana on June 01, 2010, 05:49:02 PM
I have no idea what you just said El Diablo but it sounds smart and impressive!  Does 404 taste bad?
Title: Re: More Suspect Members
Post by: El Diablo on June 01, 2010, 06:01:36 PM
It is when you look for info - 404 is the return code error for missing pages. 500 errors are missing database or bad data calls.

And it's not a smart solution, it's a basic one to beat the script kiddies. But thanx.

Post by: Myyrdn Eopia on June 01, 2010, 08:10:26 PM
With this kind of forum, I've found that also accumulating IPs and just banning a range works as well.  Also, I've found domains before that work just as well as the IP, in the case of dynamic IPs.

Yeah.  You'll see multiple accounts set up from the same IP, with instead of a signature line a link to some valuable service like penis enlargement.  They're usually set up in a "fire and forget" manner, but sometimes the spammers will post a few rambling, pointless posts to create a false impression of legitimacy.

Pretty much anybody with a bb style forum gets oodles of these guys. The clutter they cause tends to bog down the mysql database back end, causing the site to be slow, unresponsive an occasionally crash...like these forums are prone to do (as well as many others). Most of them are bots.

Two levels of enforcement that tend to work are:
1) Increasing the obfuscation on the secret word for account creation to maximum. (For some reason the good bots can still manipulate the first two levels of obfuscation.)
2) Enforcing hand-approved account creation. (This one is a pain for a large site, as the approvals required can quickly out-pace and administrator.)
A way it's handled on some sites is restricting new members to certain portions of a board until their posts can be approved or disapproved.  That way you see which ones are definitely junk.  Again, this method works pretty well with either a smaller volume of traffic or a lot of people to police it.  There's a couple of spambot restricting mods out there.  Don't know how well they work, though.

I changed my member form to require a 123 entered, and that stopped the bots. if I see a lot of attempted posts to my forum, I'm going to just alter the names of the forms used in membering and submitting. They can then just eat 404 .

wow. lol. but speaking of error 404, I can't find something.
I have been looking nonstop for over 40 minutes (I was bored, it's fourth period...)

what does it mean to be a bot on a forum site?
Title: Re: More Suspect Members
Post by: Paynesgrey on May 16, 2011, 11:42:52 AM
A bot's a program that scans the net for forums with the same basic registration procedure, fills in the blanks, automatically responds to the verification email... and then has a spam link to a larger, healthier you-know-what as a signature line, or a marketting link as it's homepage in it's profile.  Sophisticated ones can also do some random, basic posts.  You know those emails you get from Candy, where she says she just moved into the area and was looking at your profile and you sound cool, come to my website and we'll chat?  Those are the products of a similar type of bot.

Sometimes an actual human user will set up the account, make a couple normal posts, then set the bot to make periodic posts containing spam links.  The profile will again have their homepage as being a link to acacia berries or low interest rates, etc.  Once it's set up, the human then moves on and just leaves the dummy account with it's advert links just sititng there, hoping people will browse it and click the bot's homepage and thus go to the pay-per-click sites the bot was set up to lead people to.  Really dedicated bot setters will actually make a half dozen posts to give the impression the bot is a real human who usually just lurks.

This makes me wonder... How does Google crawl the forums to generate links to topics as hits for searches?  If I google DF WoJ, I get the WoJ compilation thread, but how would Google know about that without having some kind of membership?

They have a bot that crawls the forums as a guest.  I know that's how it works on the (very small) forum I run.  I've seen guests that when you check the IP address...it links back to Google.

Interesting.

Guests can't view certain sections though, (loging out quickly showed this is the case with the WoJ section.  Outside the forums, I have in more than one place where I had trouble posting links, suggested that people google "DF WoJ" because the compilation is the first hit.  I suspect that my sig showing up over 1k times, with the compilation linked in it each time will maintain that #1 hit status, (it's what shows up in the hit) but I'm not positive I am sure how the algorithem works...

Oh, yeah, Alex posts his art here, too.  It's mostly Harry/Marcone stuff, though none of it's porn-y or anything.  I don't ship it, but I gotta respect his artistic skill.

Ack. Well, I'm not always sure, but those two looked like they were there solely to promote something other than the DF. Although the 'artwork' is... uh... graphic. Yeah, that's the word I wanted.

Once a spammer actually posts on the forum, just report the post.  You don't need to post them here, as well.

Deleted about 200 spam accounts.

Just curious... if you delete them then they shouldn't show up in the members list, right? (It seems obvious, but we all know where assuming gets us.) I would hate to be sending duplicate links.

AND, although a new book is due any minute, the number of new registrations is CRAZY. Especially the ones with names like ugoasi&6AQ and Guriw&&6%$#78 and ones in Russian and Garbage. I know you don't have the time to sit and sift through them, but there were 236 new accounts yesterday alone. I'm not sure what changed, and I'm not sure if it really affects anything, but I thought you might like to know!
Title: Re: More Suspect Members
Post by: El Diablo on July 21, 2011, 10:49:39 PM
What's happening is that there's a script out there that can tag SMF forums and add accounts without human intervention. I ran into a similar problem a few years back with my Snitz forum - but easily defeated the scripts with simply adding a textbox to the member add page that expected a value of 123 - On the page before it (the I agree page) I added a label saying "REMEMBER THE SECRET CODE IS 123 , YOU HAVE TO ADD THAT TO GET AN ACCOUNT!).

I went from hundreds of spam accounts to none.

Title: Re: More Suspect Members
Post by: El Diablo on July 22, 2011, 12:25:52 AM
They are, the script just gets the error page instead of a successful add. Since you are stopping the post with a simple if/then, you kill off all the scripts and just have to worry about actual humans doing it.

It can also be done on sites that don't require a membership to post, just include the check on the post page.

Title: Re: More Suspect Members
Post by: El Diablo on July 24, 2011, 08:11:17 PM
Yes and no.
Captcha has been compromised , so some sites that include it as a forum feature to enable have had issues with it. If it's an automatic installation bit, chances are you'll have more issues than someone who does their own implementation of it. The reason behind that is the automatic or plug in ones have the source code sitting out there free to use and view - so you code around it. Whereas if you implement your unique way of doing it, the source code is unavailable for exploit - meaning that there needs to be a human involved - and spammers generally prefer to infect many sites, rather than stumble across one unique set up and make an effort (course that also depends on the site and traffic - big busy sites are worth the effort, small sites like my own aren't).

Post by: Dina on July 25, 2011, 06:00:26 PM
There is no chance of having something like the "report moderator" button, specific for suspect members. It would be much easier if we could tagged them instead of needing to go the profile and insert the URL here.
Another option is, for example, that all accounts that had not activity in the first 2 months would be deleted. We could make an specific thread for legitimate lurkers to post just a "I am legitimate" text.
Remember anyway than probably many real people has decided to join us to comment the book.

Correctamundo--they don't show up as members when I delete them.

And I make a habit of purging new registrations that have not been activated after 45 days.  Most of the spam registrations are stopped by the CAPTCHA and just take up electrons.
