Strangelv: paste of embarassingly crude and unmaintained source code with notes

paste of embarassingly crude and unmaintained source code with notes

New page

NOTES:
*Copy source code from between the <PRE> tags in this page's source markup as PRE isn't perfect about passing on text unmodified.
*List of targeted accounts and IPs must be formatted as a python list -- although there is commented code for pasting a column of names and IPs that may be fixable -- The author of this crude utility hasn't managed to look at it. Look for "##### paste in list of bulk usernames to block * * * HERE * * *" below.
*The location on your machine to put the generated html file needs to be changed -- this was made noninteractive to speed up usage. Look for "##### PASTE OUTPUT HTML FILE NAME * * * HERE * * *" below.

# Bulk-Wiki-Attacker-Block-O-Mat #
# #
# version 0.1 #
# #
# Developed for LPedia.org #
# by James Gholston, 2007 #
# #
# Version for annoying pure #
# vandal using anonymous botnet #
# attacking five space wikis #
# Public Domain #

# This is completely non-interactive, unlike the proper version of BWABOM -- a result
# of the urgency of the situation that caused its creation

# Q: Will I ever get around to re-adding the functionality?

# torque -- how much to squeeze (rule of thumb:
# single attack is 3 years, multiple per name is 5 --
# this helps to identify attack severity when looking at
# the logfile)
# roster -- list of offending accounts entered
# reason -- hardwired as "SPAM"
# blockheads -- holding list while assembling roster
# whack_a_pest -- iteration through roster
# venue -- location of output html file with links
# implement -- output html
# range -- is the output successfully saved to the firing range?
# gallery -- file object

reason="zombie botnet node making unuseful posts" ##"SPAM" changed for more generic use

# Select duration
torque = "1 month"
