Wordpress Trackback Validator Plugin

Published by Matt Croydon August 24th, 2005 in Weblogs, Open Source and PHP.

I just saw the WordPress Trackback Validator plugin fly by my aggregator and immediately installed it. I knew Dan online back in middle school, so with this endorsement, I installed it instantly:

The Computer Security Lab at Rice just released the first public version of the Trackback Validator plugin for WordPress blogs. Since I’ve been using it, I’ve had 100% classification accuracy on Trackbacks (read: every legit Trackback makes it through, not a single spam Trackback). Maybe Trackback isn’t quite so dead after all.

The system checks to make sure that the URL of the trackback links to your page. This reminds me a lot of Sam Ruby’s feedback mechanism. As a bonus, there’s a great use of sparklines in the plugin page.

    Thank god for the Trackback Validator Plugin for Wordpress. I loaded Askimet and Anti Spam Comment plugins, but did not have anything for stopping Trackback spammers. Whe will we ever be completely rid of spammers. Why don’t these spam morons just work that hard at making real website?!!!

    Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

    What are the benefits to using WordPress over other software. I have been using blogger.com for our blog, but it doesn’t seem to be very customizable.

    What do you have to have to publish a wordpress blog on the internet?
