Django middleware for blocking IPs in the stopforumspam.com database
Project description
A django application that provides middleware for blocking IPs listed in stopforumspam.com’s database.
A management command is provided for updating the database:
manage.py sfsupdate [–force]
…and all IPs are stored in Django models so you can add your own as well (remember to mark them permanent so they don’t get deleted!)
Installation
Install by running:
sudo pip install stopforumspam
Add this to settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES
‘stopforumspam.middleware.StopForumSpamMiddleware’
Then add this to INSTALLED_APPS
‘stopforumspam’
And run
./manage.py syncdb
To insert all the IPs run this command, which you should make a cronjob (run it every 24h).
./manage.py sfsupdate
You may remove stopforumspam from your INSTALLED_APPS after, if you do not wish to see it in your admin pages.
Configuration
The following options exist for your project’s settings.py file:
To check ALL POST requests:
SFS_ALL_POST_REQUESTS = True
To ignore some URLS:
SFS_URLS_IGNORE = [“url_name”, “/url/path”]
To only include some URLS (only works if SFS_ALL_POST_REQUEST=False):
SFS_URLS_INCLUDE = [“url_name”, “/url/path”]
To configure where to download the file from (you can MAX download 2 times a day) - see http://www.stopforumspam.com for more resources:
SFS_SOURCE_ZIP = “http://www.stopforumspam.com/downloads/listed_ip_7.zip”
Remember to configure this as well – it’s the name of the file inside the .zip file:
SFS_ZIP_FILENAME = “listed_ip_7.txt”
For testing you can force all requests to be checked.
SFS_FORCE_ALL_REQUESTS = True
