= Project Honeypot
|
|
|
|
Project Honeypot is a programmatic interface to the Project Honeypot HTTP:BL service for identifying suspicious ip addresses.
|
|
This Gem was built to filter out spammers on http://www.tweetburner.com.
|
|
|
|
It is a handy thing to be able to identify spammers, harvesters, and other suspicious IP addresses if you're worried about who might be abusing your service.
|
|
|
|
= Requirements
|
|
|
|
This Gem requires that you have an Http:BL API key from Project Honeypot. You can get one at http://projecthhoneypot.org
|
|
|
|
= Usage
|
|
|
|
HTTP:BL lookups through Project Honeypot result in a Url object that gives you the risk score, last activity, and types of offenses the ip address is listed for.
|
|
|
|
The score is worse the higher it is and the last_activity is in days.
|
|
|
|
