New reCAPTCHA plugin

[dennylin93]

Hi, I've written a plugin that shows a reCAPTCHA box after too many failed login attempts. The failed attempts are saved in SQL and purged after a certain amount of time.

Fixed issues:

• MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported.
• IPs aren't purged if user doesn't visit.
• Users that fail reCAPTCHA aren't allowed to login. However, the method is crude and ugly.
• Might conflict with the remember_me plugin.

The gzipped file: rcguard-0.2.0.tar.gz.

Also on GitHub: rcguard.

Comments and suggestions are welcome. This is my first plugin, so there probably are a lot of problems.

[dennylin93]

All the issues should be fixed with this version: rcguard 0.2.0.

@charset "utf-8";

#rcguard {
    margin-bottom: 0px;

}

Hmm... Looks like we have a problem. The fix above doesn't work with Firefox. I'll try to find a solution that works with all browsers.

in my firefox works with this
tested with FF 3.6 and 3.5 IE6, IE7 and IE8, Opera 10, and Google Chrome tested with Windows 7 and XP and FF 3.6 under linux.

[dennylin93]

I'm using Firefox 3.6 and Opera 10 under FreeBSD.

Hi dennylin93,

i have implement a little optimization to rcguard
this delete after successful login the mysql entry of this user from rcguard table.

see attachment

Thanks for the feedback.

I actually added this feature previously, but took it out later. If someone successfully hacks into an account, then the entry is deleted and he can skip the reCAPTCHA verification.

I think I'll add this as a tunable feature with on and off in the config file. I've been really busy recently, so I'll have to find some time to do this.

I have a problem: Recaptcha does simply not appear.

What I did: Created SQL tables, installed and activated the plugin, registered at recaptcha service, copied and configured config.inc.php with the pub and private keys... Hmmm.

EDIT: What's wrong? With phpmyadmin (I'm on a web hoster) I can see the MYsql rcguard table has NO entries...

EDIT2: SOLVED, I was stupid. I added the 'rcguard' entry to an outcommented plugins line (//) OMG So, the plugin WORKS NICELY. THANKS!
