Project Honey Pot Spam TrapWordPress Plugin

This plugin automatically scatters invisible links to Project Honey Pot spam traps

throughout your wordpress blog to help catch and stop spammers.

Project Honey Pot is the first and only distributed system for identifying spammers and the spambots they use

to scrape addresses from your website. Using the project honey pot system you can install addresses that are

custom-tagged to the time and IP address of a visitor to your site. If one of these addresses begins receiving

email Project Honey Pot not only can tell that the messages are spam, but also the exact moment when the address

was harvested and the IP address that gathered it.

Install this plugin to help contribute to the project and catch spammers by hiding links to honey pots (spam traps)

in your blog. The links are never visible to human visitors, but the spambots and crawlers follow them straight into

the traps.

Note: this plugin will not directly prevent spam on your site, but will help prevent spam for everyone by helping to catch the spammers.

If you also want to use the project honey pot api to detect and block spammers from your site, try the http:bl plugin.

Features

• Outputs randomly generated invisible links to honey pots in order to catch spambots

• Check if the current visitor is listed in Project Honey Pot’s HTTP:BlackList

• Fully customize each location in which links are inserted
