Topic: [Faucet owners] Ban faucetcollector users (Read 214 times)

Faucetcollector seems to be a popular bot to claim from a lot of faucets, its easy to spot and auto ban.
You can check if you faucet is on: faucetcollector.com/faucets download the script and search how it finds your login/claim button.
Make a new claim button it can't find and make a hidden button with the patterns it would find.
Whenever someone clicks on the hidden button you know its the bot and you can auto flag the account/ip.

I suggest you auto ban/flag them but still return success so a lot botters could be catched without them knowing.

Ofc the bots will update against it but if you just regular update to their updates they will lose interest, specially if users gets banned quick for using them.

Another good method to stop lot simple bots would be to disable your claim button by default and trigger a mouseover event over your claim container, if mouse moves over it the button gets activated.
This wont stop good bots used by individuals but you can make it a lot harder for them.

More complex method would be to add something to your form on mouseover and auto ban/flag the account/user if that value isn't in your form, so you can often update it as soon the bots know what they have to include.

Bot's are annoying but most of them are really easy to block, probably no one will sell a good bot that is hard to spot.
