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.
(quoted from the author's homepage)
I wrote a Geeklog wrapper for Michael Hampton's Bad Behavior plugin for WordPress. The difference to the hack I provided earlier is that this plugin now logs the blocked requests and provides you with an interface to review them.
Happy blocking ...
bye, Dirk

Dirk, you've done it again! I hope you don't mind if I go ahead and integrate your work into the next release of Bad Behavior.

Michael released a security update for Bad Behavior. I've updated the Geeklog plugin accordingly (upgrading instructions are included).

Feel free ...
Actually, I sent you an email. Did you not get it or did my spam filter eat the reply?
bye, Dirk

I get an error upon trying to open the archive Dirk.
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a Zip file, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part Zip file.
I have used Zip to unpack many tar.gz files in the past. What do you reccomend for a windows machine if it is a valid archive?

Ouch, I just realised that I'd uploaded the wrong version anyway - it did not include the updated Bad Behavior files
Please download the file yet again. It should be 28115 bytes now. And unpacks on the server just fine ...

Here's a small patch to make it display the number of logfile entries after its entry in the Admin's block (where it only says "(N/A)" at the moment):
{
global $_CONF, $LANG_BAD_BEHAVIOR, $wp_bb_log;
if (SEC_inGroup ('Bad Behavior Admin')) {
return array ($LANG_BAD_BEHAVIOR['plugin_display_name'],
$_CONF['site_admin_url'] . '/plugins/'
. BAD_BEHAVIOR_PLUGIN . '/index.php',
DB_count ($wp_bb_log));
}
}
This is a replacement for the function of the same name in the plugin's functions.inc file.
Also, please not that Bad Behavior deletes logfile entries older than 7 days automatically.
bye, Dirk
Text Formatted Code
function plugin_getadminoption_bad_behavior (){
global $_CONF, $LANG_BAD_BEHAVIOR, $wp_bb_log;
if (SEC_inGroup ('Bad Behavior Admin')) {
return array ($LANG_BAD_BEHAVIOR['plugin_display_name'],
$_CONF['site_admin_url'] . '/plugins/'
. BAD_BEHAVIOR_PLUGIN . '/index.php',
DB_count ($wp_bb_log));
}
}

does this download work for everyone else?
I cannot get it for some odd reason. I get an invalid archive. Would someone who can get it unpack it and email me the files to scurvydawgATgmail.com I would owe you one.
Thanks for everything.

I've updated the plugin now to sync it with the release of Bad Behavior 1.1.1. It also includes the patch described above.
Looking at what it catched on my site, it really seems to help against spam - some of the blocked requests were most likely from our Bulgarian friends. Not to mention the occasional bot it stops in its tracks ...

Fine force me to get yet another unpacking utility. I will get WinRar as this refuses to open in WinZip.
Dirk why the animosity towards WinZip friendly files?

You could also look at it as WinZip's animosity towards gzipped files. (Or is it tarred files that throws WZ)
Other Windows utilities can unpack them properly. Just a random thought.

Too many hands on my time.

I've never had a problem with WinZip. It uncompressed fine for me.
What version are you using?

9.0 sr-1. But I'm sure I had a version 8 work too, unless version 9 has been out for two years.
