Brennan’s Blog

Over the weekend I noticed my server was getting bogged down quite a bit and it turned out the MT installation was getting hit pretty hard. It seems an attacker was attempting to overload the system so that some comment spam could get in without sending me an email about the new comment. And it seems they got one comment in before I bounced the web server and renamed my MT comment script.

I use MT-Blacklist but that is just not blocking enough spam. So my co-worker James Roome was helpful enough to find a better solution by James Seng called Scode. It is in version 0.1 Beta, but I can adjusted it as needed and send changes back to him. I hope it helps.
