Anyone have a Download?

I'd figure I would ask here, but I am wondering if anyone has a Download for this NukeSentinel anywhere. I am just trying to get a list of all file locations and all files added.

I'll check the files, but don't remember it being a separate download. I used it as a part of RN.

I noticed your Honeypot 2.2 has similar capabilities with Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!. I am not actively developing that, but you might want to check it out. It supports some spam databases that are no longer active, but is pretty effective

I personally haven't done anything to the Honeypot in 8+ years, but I'll take a look. The HP works with a few spam databases, but its main focus was more of stopping the unknown, and not the known found in a DB. Last January, I truncated the table and I wanted to see if the APIs did anything. I know I need to do an update and remove FSpamlist because they shut down sometime in mid 2024 I think it was. Here are my stats from last January:

Code:




Checker Type                  | Total Blocked | Percentage


-----------------------------|---------------|----------


Wait Script                  | 959           | 32.6%


Text Removal Script          | 1945          | 66.2%


Hidden Text Field            | 2             | 0.1%


SFS API Check                | 20            | 0.7%


BotScout API                 | 12            | 0.4%


FSpamlist API                | 0             | 0%

You can see that most blocked is that input field that says, "Please remove all text.".

And thanks for the Download.

Very useful info!

Could text removal be accidental / due to humans not paying attention, in addition to bots?

I wonder if the low blockage from DBs is related to a) when that check occurs in HP, b) reduced usage of DBs leading to fewer hits, c) increased usage of email aliases and VPNs or, most likely, some combination of these things.

Yes, for sure that some of them are accidental. The current version that I have that's with the CMS, does tell them if they forgot to remove it, that they failed because they forgot to remove it and if they do put something in, it will tell them that it was meant to be left empty. That input I gave with a name of "company", and by doing that, I would say a good 40%+ of total caught do something like this:

Though, I do get a laugh every so often when I do see someone I know fail because they put their name in that input, and even when they do fail, they just don't understand and fail again. I have had a few of those over the years and the deciding factor in those was alcohol. See, in the backend, it records why they failed and what they inputted into the field that was supposed to be left empty.

As for the low level of blockages, I ran a test when I first built the system where I called the DB checks first, and those numbers were much higher. So the low numbers are definitely due to the order in which the checks are run. I ran those checks last due to limitations of some of the free checks only allowing so many checks per day. Because of that, was the deciding factor of the order in which the checks run.

I remember years ago, nuken from trickedoutnews tested this script for me. I knew him through ClanThemes when I was working there alongside Ped, Noto, and Floppy. He reported to me that he had his own script running on my site and he would do an experiment where he would call my script after his, then call mine before his. And I don't remember the exact numbers, but I do remember the results, and that was some got by his, but nothing got by the HP.

I was thinking about it and just looked up the old topic from 2014. ( Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ), that one there I talk about the release, and you had suggested about adding in the API's. I did take your suggestion and added those in. Not going to lie, that feels that it was a lot longer than 11 years ago.
