stopforumspam 1.0.1

Django middleware for blocking IPs in the stopforumspam.com database

A django application that provides middleware for blocking IPs listed in stopforumspam.com’s database.

A management command is provided for updating the database:

manage.py sfsupdate [–force]

…and all IPs are stored in Django models so you can add your own as well (remember to mark them permanent so they don’t get deleted!)

Installation

Install by running:

sudo pip install stopforumspam

Add this to settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES

‘stopforumspam.middleware.StopForumSpamMiddleware’

Then add this to INSTALLED_APPS

‘stopforumspam’

And run

./manage.py syncdb

To insert all the IPs run this command, which you should make a cronjob (run it every 24h).

./manage.py sfsupdate

You may remove stopforumspam from your INSTALLED_APPS after, if you do not wish to see it in your admin pages.

Configuration

The following options exist for your project’s settings.py file:

To check ALL POST requests:

SFS_ALL_POST_REQUESTS = True

To ignore some URLS:

SFS_URLS_IGNORE = [“url_name”, “/url/path”]

To only include some URLS (only works if SFS_ALL_POST_REQUEST=False):

SFS_URLS_INCLUDE = [“url_name”, “/url/path”]

To configure where to download the file from (you can MAX download 2 times a day) - see http://www.stopforumspam.com for more resources:

SFS_SOURCE_ZIP = “http://www.stopforumspam.com/downloads/listed_ip_7.zip”

Remember to configure this as well – it’s the name of the file inside the .zip file:

SFS_ZIP_FILENAME = “listed_ip_7.txt”

For testing you can force all requests to be checked.

SFS_FORCE_ALL_REQUESTS = True
