Bad Behavior 1.2.3
Bad Behavior 1.2.3, the latest release of the Web’s premier link spam killer, has been released.
From version 1.2.2, the following changes have been made:
- Several additional spambots, mostly causing trackback spam, have been fingerprinted and blocked.
- Bad Behavior 1.2.2 introduced a requirement that user agents present a User-Agent header. This caused quite a few unexpected things to break, and has been changed in this release. A User-Agent header will now be required only for POST requests.
There were a couple of other changes and enhancements I wanted to put in, but I decided to let them wait; I’ve begun work on version 2.0 of Bad Behavior, which will incorporate these changes. If you e-mailed me and didn’t see your change in here, this is why.
Anyways, it’s that time again, so download Bad Behavior now!
