Bad Behavior
Bad Behavior is a set of PHP scripts which prevents spambots from accessing your site by analyzing their actual HTTP requests and comparing them to profiles from known spambots. It goes far beyond User-Agent and Referer, however. Bad Behavior is available for several PHP-based software packages, and also can be integrated in seconds into any PHP script. (quote from the homepage).
Integration in wikka
these instructions are for version 1.1.2
- download it
- unzip the file, go into the folder and make the following changes:

- // This file is the entry point for Bad Behavior.
- // See below to customize it for your particular CMS or PHP application.
- // Preferably by the time this file is loaded, everything in your app will
- // be initialized, but no output sent to the browser. If output has been
- // sent, Bad Behavior will fail.

- // Configuration
- // Nothing will be written to a DB unless you implement DB queries below
- // Log failed requests to the database.
- $wp_bb_logging = FALSE;
- // Log all requests to the database, not just failed requests.
- $wp_bb_verbose_logging = FALSE;
- // How long to keep the logs around (in days).
- $wp_bb_logging_duration = 7;
- // Email address to contact you in case of problems
- // This will be shown to users on the error page, which means it will
- // be exposed to spammers! Bad Behavior will munge it automatically; you
- // should NOT munge it here!
- $wp_bb_email = $wakka->config['admin_email'];
- // The database table name to use.
- // You can customize the table name if necessary.
- ###############################################################################
- # DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE
- ###############################################################################
- // Callbacks
- // generic code; you should reimplement these if you want logging and
- // database functions
- // return a UTC date in the format preferred by your database
- function wp_bb_date() {
- }
- // run a SQL query and return # of rows affected, or FALSE if query failed
- function wp_bb_db_query($query) {
- global $wakka;
- return $wakka->Query($query);
- }
- // Load core functions and do initial checks
- require_once(WP_BB_CWD . "/bad-behavior-core.php");
- ?>
- upload the whole folder to 3rdparty/plugins/bad-behavior/
- if you want to log requests, you have to add 'request_entity' (text, not null, after 'http_headers'-field) in your table. And you have to change one or both of the config-entries in the file above to 'TRUE'.
- add the following line to wikka.php
require_once("3rdparty/plugins/bad-behavior/bad-behavior-wikkawiki.php");
=> right before the// go !
- add
'bad-behavior' => '1',
to your wikka.config.php
To-do
- fix the wp_bb_db_query
- testing on a page who is interesting for spammers :)
- Use a browser or (software) proxy that lets you define the user-agent string, set it to a "forbiden" spambot, and use that to load a page on the site; BadBehavior docs somewhere mention using lynx (just a command-line switch). Of course this will only check if the module is actually installed and working - not all possible behaviors it may be capable of stopping. --JavaWoman
