Old(er) module: NukeStyles.com Contact -- anyone still use?

Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2006 10:49 am

I've had an older module Contact by NukeStyles.com on a couple of my sites for a couple of years now. Lately, however, there has been an increased access or usage of this Contact module -- without me receiving anything. Has anyone heard or seen any exploits/vulnerabilities regarding this module? I haven't seen anything myself. But I am getting more and more bans by NukeSentinel that look like:

Or are there any alternatives to NukeStyles.com's Contact module? Thanks.

Hi oprime2001. I still use it, but am not aware of any issues. VinDSL and Guardian have done some work on preventing spam through functions like this, but I don't remember seeing an updated version since 2.4 or newer alternative.

Looks like another spam bot using that modules functionality to send spam. I don't see that its an active exploit really, probably just a module with little filtering

Wow! I do have an older version; my copy is only v1.5. You wouldn't still have the files in a zip or another archive would you? Or if anyone else has v2.4, please PM me. Thanks.

I'm sure I have it somewhere, but if not, I can create a zip for you. I look tonight when I get home.

Thanks. I did a Google search for "nukestyles.com contact 2.4" and got a bunch of outdated websites.

I forgot to ask earlier, but you haven't seen any unusual usage/access with v2.4 have you, kguske?

It says 2.4, but when it's extracted it says 2.3. There IS a 2.4 version, but may not much different than this. I'll compare it tonight.

I haven't seen any unusual usage / access, but the sites I run it on are low volume and under the radar of most script kiddies.
