  • Login frontend / menu

    From Slinky@1:103/705 to All on Thu Apr 30 18:59:59 2020
    I see that Constructive Chaos BBS has a login menu with an anti-bot component to it "Type [WTNO] to log in >". I imagine the code is randomly generated. I have a lot of problems with bots trying to hack the BBS all day and night. It's to the point I had to turn off login by number as they jam up the nodes with random numbers.

    Is the login menu something available somewhere, or a custom coded module? I was going to log in and ask, but I figured I would toss it out here. If this is custom, is there a good login menu to help thwart bot hacking that is available? Sorry for all the questions.
