- SYSOP BBS SECURITY PACKAGE INFO
-
-
- Announcing the release of Sysop's BBS Security Pak. With release
- of REPORT.EXE, the complete, four part package comprising the BBS
- Security Pak is now available. The four utilities comprising the
- complete package are: CALLBLOC.PPE, VULGARID.PPE, CALLERID.PPE,
- and REPORT.EXE. All four items together significantly increase
- the security of a small to medium sized PCBoard 15.x BBS system,
- requiring much less manual monitoring by the Sysop.
-
- The latest versions of all four items can be downloaded from my
- BBS (SBG Online! 703-450-9456). A brief description of each is:
-
- 1. CALLBLOC.PPE a bad caller blocker utility. Must
- have CallerID modem and service. The
- PPE checks all calls incoming against
- a Sysop generated text file listing of
- undesired phone numbers. When a match
- is found, the system logs the info,
- hangs-up, and resets the system before
- the user can logon. HIGHLY Sysop con-
- figurable.
-
- 2. VULGARID.PPE an abusive user monitor. Checks new
- user entries of name and city against
- a Sysop generated text file of words,
- characters, and phrases. Similar to,
- but more comprehensive than the stan-
- dard PCBoard TCAN name check. When a
- match is found: the info is logged,
- user is disconnected, and phone number
- is written to CALLBLOC.PPE file for
- future automatic lock-out. Requires
- CallerID capable modem/service.
- VULGAR.PPE supports non-CallerID
- systems.
-
- 3. CALLERID.PPE performs ALL functions of CallerID user
- monitoring and user phone number entry
- verification. Eliminates need for local
- CallBack verifiers which can be very time
- consuming. EXTREMELY Sysop configurable.
- Requires CallerID capable modem/service.
-
- 4. REPORT.EXE generates various reports for Sysop review
- showing all users with matching informa-
- tion, such as: passwords, home phone #s,
- business phone #s, CallerID #s, etc. to
- allow Sysop offline review and identifica-
- tion of questionable users and incomplete
- or invalid user record entries. Will
- function without CallerID capability.
-
- 5. DUP-BLOC.PPE we have now added a fifth utility PPE
- called DUP-BLOCK which works along with
- CALLBLOC.PPE to prevent users from using
- or generating multiple records and also
- can perform an auto-upgrade if user #s
- match CID info.
-
-
-
- REGISTRATION,
- SOURCE CODE: Only REPORT.EXE requires registration ($10) US. All the
- other PPE utilities are FREE for use!! Additionally, the
- source code can be purchased for all four items for only
- $50 (US). (or, $25 for the three PPSs and $25 for REPORT.C)
- (All resticted to personal use modification only--may not
- be further distributed).
-
- REPORT.EXE must be registered only once! After that, all
- future versions are free--the user is registered, not the
- program. Also, when you purchase the source code package,
- you will receive access to my BBS for one year so as to
- download new versions/updates of the source code during
- the one year free support period.
-
- VERY FEW packages offer this extent of support and access!!
- The intent is to provide you maximum security, integrity,
- and customization of your BBS security system.
-
-
- DISTRIBUTION: To acquire the latest version of the four utilities com-
- prising the package, you can download them from my BBS:
- SBG Online! (703) 450-9456. I will also attempt to upload
- the latest versions to SALT AIR BBS (PCBoard Support BBS).
