Can GSA bypass xenforo hidden fields (honypots)

The Xenforo hidden fields for registering have been around quite a while (over a year), as has the registration timer

Can GSA bypass the honeypots and timer ?

Or does xenforo (all versions with the honeypots and above) stop GSA from registering?

    can you give a sample site?
  • probably the most obvious site is xenforo.com

    If you look at their registration form, there are many hidden honeypots

    All the field names are randomised (including the real field names).  I guess xenforo's honeypot anti-spam beats GSA?

    I had a quick look and all of their tricks are easily handle-able.
    Since the random form names are all have a good label, SER is able to extract the visible text befoe that form input and define the input based on that.

    Every honeypot field has a "please leave this blank" so you can add...
    *blank*=%leave%

    into scripts.
  • okay, so it's not by default set up for this, are there tutorial to do this?
  • SvenSven www.GSA-Online.de
    yes, you find them here:

    However, if you manage to update the script or need help, let me know.
  • thank you
