Spam bots, regex idiot

Post by Nettworkz »

I've been setting up several spam filters for a ton of bots that have invaded our lil IRC network. Been fairly successful really.

Unfortunately today they've changed their message, and I'm too stupid to figure out the proper REGEX for it (yes, I have the regex docs, and will be studying it diligently). But is there anyone with more experience that can tell me how to block..

hint: spamfilter strips color and control codes :P. So you need to match against the "plaintext".

Hmm, tried this one, doesn't seem to have worked. Note the first character isn't a Y it's actually a Ã

Just matching on the plaintext would be sufficient.
Below is a regex that matches on "Ã

Damn. Wish I would have known that when I concocted that mess of a spamfilter.

Anyhow, just because im a obsessive little freak: the [] around the space is not strictly nessecary.

I got a different message from apparently the same type of bot.

Code: Select all
