About
Project Honey Pot is a free, distributed, open-source initiative that helps website administrators track and combat spam harvesters, comment spammers, and other online abusers. It operates a massive network of trap email addresses and monitors hundreds of millions of IPs to identify malicious actors. The community-driven platform provides data to help site owners stop fraud and abuse at scale.
Problem
Spam harvesters and online abusers steal email addresses and exploit websites, making it difficult for administrators to identify and stop them.
For
website administrators and webmasters
How it works
Website owners install honeypot trap addresses on their sites; when harvesters or bots visit and collect these addresses, they are identified and logged in a shared community database.
