If I create a web app that features a log in form for users, what is available in Phoenix to keep a barrage of bots from authenticating over and over thus ruining my project?
I have a mediawiki instance and none of the extensions I use have worked to keep bots from creating accounts so I gave up and locked down the site
I want to build a phoenix app that lets users create accounts and post to a forum (among other things) but to do this I would need tools to restrict all the inauthentic junk attacking the site. This includes forum moderation tools.
I figure with LLM’s there are now (probably) a lot of tools to deal with this that we didn’t have before.
I also want to know if Heex has a Honey Pot module for Phoenix (I tried searching and didn’t find anything). In a CRUD app a honey pot is a trick where you create hidden forms and write code that detects when bots find these forms - you then ban their IP. I’m not sure how effective that is, but I read about it somewhere and figured I would mention it.
Thank you.
