http:BL WordPress Plugin

http:BL WordPress Plugin allows you to verify IP addresses of clients connecting to your blog against the Project Honey Pot database. Thanks to http:BL API you can quickly check whether your visitor is an email harvester, a comment spammer or any other malicious creature. Communication with verification server is done via DNS request mechanism, which makes the query and response even quicker. Now, thanks to http:BL WordPress Plugin any potentially harmful clients are denied from accessing your blog and therefore abusing it. This plugin is in the process of being refreshed. Compatibility with current versions of WordPress is unknown. Versions prior to 2.0 should be used only with extreme caution. There are known security issues and vulnerabilities. New Maintainers Viktor Szépe and Brian Layman are now maintaining this plugin.\ If you have any suggestions or comments, please add them on the WordPress Support Forum here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/httpbl Or as a GitHub issue here: https://github.com/WP-http-BL/httpbl/issues
