AP HoneyPot WordPress Plugin Plugin

AP HoneyPot WordPress Plugin, based on Jan Stępień’s http:BL, allows you
to verify IP addresses of clients connecting to your blog against the Project
Honey Pot database. Thanks to http:BL API you can quickly check whether your
visitor is an email harvester, a comment spammer or any other malicious
creature. Communication with verification server is done via DNS request
mechanism, which makes the query and response even quicker. Now, thanks
to AP HoneyPot WordPress Plugin any potentially harmful clients are denied
from accessing your blog and therefore abusing it.

Does AP HoneyPot WordPress Plugin work with WordPress MU?

Actually, it does… But there’s no proper way to deny your bloggers to
access the configuration page. Though you can change APHP_PLUGIN_MENU_PARENT
constant to wpmu-admin.php, it is not recommended to do this. WPMU security
enhancements are yet to be done. You can also provide us your own patch. 🙂

Is there an easy way to contact the developer of this plugin?
