1/22/05 - Spam help! I have apparently been attacked by an army of spam bots. Has this happened to anyone else? For now, I am asking for your help with:
- a SQL command that will delete all of these edits
- a SQL command that will change all of my ACLs to '+' for writing and commenting (I've modified the config file but that only affects new pages AFAIK)
- A small clarification: setting the ACL defaults in the config file applies to all existing pages -- that you have not set ACLs on. In other words, if you have not set any page ACLs, and then you change the default values, all pages will use the default values. -- JsnX
Whatever script they used (on multiple machines, no less) could certainly be used against any Wakka-like site with minimal modifications, so something has to be done...I will do what I can to help you guys combat future attacks as well as implement the new HTML attribute you've probably all heard about.
1/23/05 - with much quick assistance, the immediate threat is gone :) The DeleteSpam tool that was graciously ported over has real potential...I'll see if I have the ability or time to make it more widely useful.
- See also WikkaSpamFighting where I've now gathered all spam-related issues. --JavaWoman
