For those of you participating in Project Honeypot, here is a simple script to randomise your honeypot.
Create a PHP file, call it whatever you want and place it in your includes/custom_files directory.

Code:

$i = 0;
while ($i <= 3) {
switch(rand(1,9)) {

case 1:
echo '<a><click></a>';
break;

case 2:
echo '<a><img></a>';
break;

case 3:
echo '<a>click here</a>';
break;

case 4:
echo '<div><a>click here</a></div> ';
break;

case 5:
echo '<a></a>';
break;

case 6:
echo '';
break;

case 7:
echo '<div><a>click here</a></div> ';
break;

case 8:
echo '<a><span>click here</span></a>';
break;

default:
echo '<a><div></div></a>';
break;
}
$i++;
}

In your includes/custom_files directory create a file called custom_footer.php (if you do not already have one, then simple add this line to to it

Code:

include('includes/custom_files/yourscript.php');

Just in case you are wondering, the links above do not actually have to appear on the page, the are deliberately made invisible so they are only seen by crawlers and bots.

Almost done getting this going... Thank you for this!

BTW, in case anyone is interested, in order for these to not cause XHTML validation errors (the links provided by Project HoneyPot that is), two of the above "forms" need augmenting as follows:

Code:

case 2:
echo '<a><img></a>';
break;

Edit: Uuuggghhh... sometimes BBtoNuke can be such a pain! The above scenario did not come out right. In words: you need to add an alt="" attribute to the tag as well as end it with a space followed by />

Code:

default:
echo '<a><span></span></a>';
break;

These should still work just fine.

Mant thanks for that. I had not thought to check the XHTML compliance side.
I'm just off to work (night shifts Sad

) but as soon as I can I'l update the code in my initial post.

I hope this isn't too off topic but it is regarding the honeypot project.

I have setup my honeypot but i don't know were to put the links at in my sites files.

These are the files i put them in but their not doing anything yet and i get hit all of the time by spammers and harvesters.

Code:

/public_html/modules/php
/public_html/modules/Donations/config.php
/public_html/modules/Content/index.php
/public_html/modules/AvantGo/index.php
/public_html/modules/Reviews.index.php
/public_html/modules/Submit_News/index.php
/public_html/modules/Your_Account.index.php
/public_html/modules/IP_Tracking/index.php

I added the honeypot link after the ?> at the end of the code because if i add it before my site breaks and wont load. I'm just not sure what files to add the honeypot links to and were it goes in the file.

If I remember correctly ('m still trying to download my back up files lol) they give you code to put into a file which you upload to your site. You then link to this file using code they give you - the links don't actually work in as much as the link is not clickable but if the link is then crawled and used, it trips the honeypot.
