Mambo com_akocomment antispam patch

Wednesday, 02 March 2005 20:01

Comments are welcomed!

Here we go....
I've patched the component Ako comment of Arthur Konze with a hashcash technology....:
A new form hidden field:

with a random name (Hname),
with a random MD5 value (Hvalue),

is now send to the user.

If the user want to submit a comment, a browser has to:

Locate the random hidden field name (Hname) with javascript: (function replace())
Rehash with a javascript MD5 the hidden field value (Hvalue) (and this is time consuming for spammer :-) )

and send everything to server.

If the spammer do not follow the challenge, the comment wont be accepted!

required: com_log4php and com_hashcash library
The zip file in download sections contains the components and the mambot! decompress first before installing both.
All credit to Arthur Konze for his wonderful component.
