It can also be used to download Forum User Profiles, but does not currently display contact information, only interests.
ForumScan.py now consists of 3 files, plus 2 generated:
- ForumScan.py -- the script
ForumScan.lst -- list of users to checkout
WordList.lst -- Word list to use for scoring
- ForumScan.wrk -- the user post summaries and profile information
ForumScan.log -- log of activities and errors, very verbose right now
Can anyone think of a better name for the script or extensions?
And GOOD NEWS, I've almost got the scoring done. Latest output from the script...
Code: Select all
~/prog/SpamFilter$ ./ForumScan.py
Total File Score: 3622
You guys who have been finding the spam posters, have you been keeping a copy of the spam you found, or a list of words that set off your "spammy-senses"? The code for scoring both the relevant wording and spam wording is in place, I just need a list for Spam words.
BTW, next update either later tonight or sometime tommorrow will be the complete, fully functional script... Minus a few helper functions, like
- Import a user list, to watch # right now, just append the names to the END of the ForumScan.lst file.
Autodelete of watched names from ForumScan.lst and
Autodelete of data from ForumScan.wrk
Can't figure out how to do that yet, maybe commandline option, feed it names that the script user has checked out and dealt with.
If you have any ideas let me know in the new thread.
