  • Geo Blocking Script

    From Mortifis@1:103/705 to All on Sat Nov 16 11:40:50 2019
    I am sure there are better ways to do this, however, I threw together a quick script that allows for Geo Blocking by Country. For me, it has already cut down on a significant number of 'fake login attempts'. The script can be evoked by simply calling it from within other scripts, ie: login.js

    the script can be found at http://alleycat.synchro.net:81/dls/coob.js ... simply copy/paste the code and save it as coob.js in /sbbs/exec/load

    That's geoip.js, it works without one but it says "You should get an API key from ... " follow the link in the log message ... the key is free :-)

    What? I have no idea what you're talking about, or why you're
    replying to me.

    I am guessing because it is inside a for loop in login.js. Try moving "load('coob.js');" in login.js to just before for(var c=0; c < options.login_prompts; c++) { ... } and see if that quiets it down ... I will add a 'quit = true' to modopts.ini if you'd like.

    Great! I updated the coob.js script a tad; added quiet = true/false to modopts.ini as well as an if(!block.quiet) log(...) as well as a proper exit();

    The updated script is still where it was http://alleycat.synchro.net:81/dls/coob.js if you're interested. Thanks for trying it out, I hope it is of use!
