honeypot

Node.js implementation of the Project Honeypot (Http:BL) API. Because we all hate spam.

• Uses built-in node dns.resolve4 to get response from the DNS API
• No Unicorns were harmed during development

npm install honeypot

Usage

var honeypot = require('honeypot');

var pot = new honeypot('your_api_key');

pot.query('127.0.0.1', function(err, response){
    if (!response) {
        console.log("IP not found in honeypot, we're all good!");
    } else {
        console.log("Oh no, it's a spammer mate! Kil it with fire!");
        console.log(response.getFormattedResponse());
        // Suspiious, Comment Spammer
        // Threat Rating: 58 / 255
        // Recency: 1 / 255
    }
});
