</div>Beta cluster has the same issue. We got AbuseFilter rules maintained<br>
centrally by Steinsplitter and others. That seems to be quite<br>
effective, I am wondering whether we could have a labs centralized<br>
database to maintain those rules for all labs wiki.<br>
<br>
<br>
The DNS blacklist does catch some open proxies referenced on <a href="http://sorbs.net" target="_blank">sorbs.net</a>,<br>
it is configured on beta via wmf-config/CommonSettings-labs.php :<br>
<br>
$wgEnableDnsBlacklist = true;<br>
$wgDnsBlacklistUrls = array(<br>
'proxies.dnsbl.sorbs.net.',<br>
);<br>
<br>
That is really only a small part of possible spam attempts though.<br>
<br>
If we had a centralized AbuseFilter instance for labs, we could publish<br>
the blacklisted IP over DNS and have all labs wikis to use that DNS<br>
blacklist.<br>
We could even make it public for other people to use :)<br>
<br>
<br>
I used to blacklist Amazon instances as well.<br>
<br>
There is a lot of logs on beta under /data/projects/logs, that might a<br>
good way to find patterns / offending hosts.<br>
