just a thoughed about robots and how to solve

Postby PurpleOlrac » 18 Feb 2010, 19:18

i was kinda thinking the behaviour of a spamming robot searching forums for regging and spamming there [*toilet*] how it would go.

i think a robot is progammed on structure, so basicly predefined basic knowledge, till now allmost all knowledge is findable on the internet and basicly crackable .

this will make basic all solutionns a short time solution, now i was thinking if you can make things none standard like as example instead of calling register call it join us, the url instead of www[dot]]site[dot]com/register.php, www[dot]]site[dot]com/funny.php want that confuse the Java.NullPointerException out of robot?

i think it does cause you can if you have the php skill (which i obvious dont have) code it so that the register link allways be random one like generated when selected the join us link as example.

i know theres probably lloads of alternatives around to prevent all this however when i was kinda brainstorming i was thinking to share this, maybe it gives people a idea for a modification, to state it clear i aint asking a modification here i was just brainstorming
Do you need MODS installed or your phpBB upgraded, for a small fee i can help you, also custom styles. Drop me a PM or contact me over 1 of the messenger options.

That is correct, people have already done this with phpBB.

Good thinking though. ;)
