Bug #: 32928
Summary: Add open proxy detection to the filter conditions
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: AbuseFilter
AssignedTo: [email protected]

CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
It would be very useful if there was a condition similar to tor_exit_node which
would tell whether the user is editing from an open proxy. On hu.wikipedia we
are dealing with such an attacker (who is very persistent and probably uses
scripted attacks) right now; dnsbl.tornevall.org seems to be very reliable in
identifying his proxies. According to their main page, they have about a
million IP numbers blacklisted; not too much to clone into a local table if
they are willing to share the data. (Otherwise, if a pre-save live check is
considered too slow, it would be very helpful even if such an IP-check would be
only done after an edit was successfully made from that IP; forcing a vandal to
change proxies for every edit is probably enough of an annoyance to make him
give up soon.)
