Automatic Flooding Protection 2.0

Has you board ever died on a flood of automated user registrations or password email reminder flooding by hacker tools like Jackhammer ?

Then this might be an almost foolproof protection against automated registration/bombing tools. 

Automatic Flood Protection V2.0 SP1.3 English, Dutch and German
This mod adds once activated a random validation code the user has to type in at registration and lost password email reminder.
This registration code is again shuffled before validation so automated html scanners will not get the complete or correct code just grabbing the html page as the code is a graphical representation of the actual code.
As a bonus this mod also limits/deactivates search and recent post by user bombs as well as bombs to lost password reminder and send topic to a friend bombs.

Installation

Choose the right language mod (UK=english, NL=dutch, DE=german)
Use boardmod to patch the script files and language definitions and upload the modified versions.
(Be sure to make a backup first)
Upload the pixel.gif's in the YaBBImages dir and the CharTable.pl into the /Sources dir.
Active the Automatic Flood protection in Admin Center.

And.... it should work Wink

Version history
1.x
SP1.1 version of this mod

2.0
The same great mod compatible to SP1.3 code

A special thank you goes to Michael Prager for the great help and testing of this mod.

I had the same problem, and from a novice point of view, it looks like to me, that Yams and this edit the same strings....

I had this installed first and Yams failed.

Installed Yams first, and this failed.

Grin, how about asking Carsten to make his mod compatible with mine Grin Grin
No just kidding, I presume it is YaMs 4.x you are all talking about ?
In that case I will check what is in step 2 and make it YaMs proof.
