    if you can send me the ASP code I can go over it

    beside that may be done by hand also
    so you can't STOP it

    it might be worth checking your log files to identify the program. It may well be a badly written spider or some malfunctioning web filtering software. In either case, contacting the bot owners can often get it stopped.

    change the url for contacts page, see if it continues, maybe if its a bot and it visits and doesn't find contactus.asp or franchise.asp it'll stop untill next time they add the new url.

    If it does not stop, then people do it by hand :(

    do they all come from the same IP address? If so you can block that in your global.asa(x) , or even ask your ISP to block it in the firewall.

    I don't get this. Are you saying these are coming from different IP addresses? That would be a ddos attack and who would want, or have the ability to do that to you. How about some more detail.

    How many postings, what's the frequency between them, what are the IP addresses, who do they resolve back to. Are all the postings the same or different.

    Can you post or PM me a logfile and the asp code and I'll have a look later tonight if I get chance.

    I just check for certain crap in the message, such as 'content-type', 'mime-version' etc and email addresses in telephone number fields etc.. I always get the ones that try to exploit the form to BCC emails. Can be validated quite easy if its these kind of submissions you're getting, without having to trouble your users with captcha's.

    yup - check for mail headers, and if it detects them - send the contact form to a different email account. - but ONLY AFTER you strip the Email headers! otherwise they can still hijack your form.

    Yeah I just put up an error message and don't send the email at all if it fails the validations.

    The solution is right here. look down :) I have not done it after someone told to me but i learnt it accidently. I used to get 100 - 200 hits a day with this kind of attacks but now they are almost nil.

    And one more thing i m not just suggesting but telling you that it works somehow. It was infact worse. I used to get it from a range of ip and when i reversed looked it up i could'nt find a link to my website so its so much more of a headache.


    Your captcha thing is software readable. The thing which people must type in a box to post the message and i think it's of no use to your website. Get it recoded by someone.

    Hi John

    This is not a wind up I am have a serious problem with this issue-

    I have just returned from a few days away so here is my response to your questions
    Firstly I am not a programmer I am a webmaster & business owner

    1/ The image capture is what my programmer firstly advised. It isn’t working why? Is it poorly installed? Or the wrong type?

    2/ My programmer recommend some more code that would stop repeated attatccks from the same ip address , again It isn’t working why? Is it poorly installed? Or the wrong type?

    3/ A few months ago a member on this site installed some code it worked but was unreliable ( and was php ) which apparently doesn’t mix well with asp

    4/ Also another member has been try to fix it for a few days again so far with no luck.

    In answer to your specific questions I get about I message a hour inserting html in my message field to a porno site please screen shots below

    What I need is programmer to advise and implement the modifications or reinstall.

    I have screen prints of the issue i can email to anyone i will and attatch to this post
    Thanks paul

    hi,

    my apologies for suggesting it was a wind-up, clearly it's not.

    If you could post/pm a logfile that would be a huge help. Blocking by IP would still seem to be the answer. But without a logfile you can't know which IP it's coming from or whether it's changing for each post.

    An interim solution would be to clean the input in the message box before storing it in the database/posting it on. That way at least you won't get any unpleasant links in the posting. You could also include the IP in the post to easily see where they're coming from and then block that.

    regards FBJ
