Bad Behavior 2.0.5
August 5th, 2006 by Michael Hampton
Bad Behavior 2.0.5 has been released to provide small bug fixes.
New in this release (since 2.0.4):
- A bug affecting MediaWiki and ExpressionEngine users, and possibly others, caused database errors to be thrown when a POST request was received. This has been fixed. (I thought I’d fixed this previously, but apparently not. This one should fix it for real.)
- A couple of additional spambots have been identified and blocked.
As always, if you find Bad Behavior valuable, please consider making a financial contribution. I develop Bad Behavior in my spare time, and every little bit means I have more spare time to devote to its development.
And don’t forget to subscribe to the RSS feed or the mailing list. (They’re the same content.)

Hi Michael;
Hust wondering, after spending the last few hours analyzing mod_security audit.log for a continuous spmmer trying to attack a guestbook, and finally noticed that the Header: Useragent was malformed it was
“Useragent: Useragent: bla bla” and was wondering where and what code would be appropriate in the bad-behavior common_tests.inc.php
thanks

Hi!
There’s one spammer that gets through BB very often. The name is always “John Smit Jr.” and it’s always about some forex thing. Do you have data about him, or can I help sending something about it?
