Security warning (please read plugin security guidelines): This plugin uses the legacy version of the BadBehavior library which is not updated anymore. Until this plugin gets updated, it is not recommended to use.
Bad Behavior is a set of PHP scripts which prevents spambots from accessing your site by analyzing their actual HTTP requests and comparing them to profiles from known spambots. It goes far beyond User-Agent and Referrer, however.
This plugin integrates the Bad Behavior toolkit into DokuWiki.
Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

You should set an email address in the Config Manager, for letting people contact you if they are blocked unintentionally. Or add it manually to your local.conf:
$conf['plugin']['badbehaviour']['email'] = 'you@example.com';
Bad Behaviour checks certain blacklists, normally used in email anti spam mechanisms for blacklisted IPs. This can cause innocent users to be blocked because their dynamic IP address was used by some spam bot before. If you don't want to use this check you can skip it:
$conf['plugin']['badbehaviour']['skipblackhole'] = 1;
All blocked accesses are logged to data/cache/badbehaviour.log
. Each line contains the following tab separated keys:
