sentinels-anti-physhing

sentinels-anti-physhing is a project that was created to deal with phishing, farming, cybercrime, and abuse cases on the Steem Blockchain.

The project will allow you to:

• Create and categorize the types of abuse;
• use a custom message as a warning to users by posting it under their posts;
• track malicious memo send to users;
• automatically blacklist users that fall within x set of rules;
• use specific on-chain commands to add users to the blacklist;
• create teams and managers;
• accept users reports and review them;
• and Use the dashboard which provides a compressive set of features to manage everything and more!

The project is currently discontinued due to a lack of support and resources, until further notice. It is advisable for whoever is going to run this project, to have enough resources to at least have a real impact on the chain.

*/30 * * * * php /var/www/html/controller/cronjob.php

Bots Installation

A node bot is used to detect the sentinels actions, phishers activities, and phishing links usage on the Steem Blockchain.

pm2 start /var/www/html/bot/detector.js --name friends

pm2 start /var/www/html/bot/links.js --name links

pm2 start /var/www/html/bot/phishers.js --name phishers

pm2 save pm2 startup

The following lines will restarts your bots every 5 minutes, you can set the time what you need:

pm2 restart links --cron "*/5 * * * *"

pm2 restart phishers --cron "*/5 * * * *"

pm2 restart friends --cron "*/5 * * * *"

Additional Notes

If you have disabled the use of .htaccess files on your dedicated host please follow these steps.

• To enable htaccess (e.g Apache) on your host, you must edit apache2.conf file at /etc/apache2/.

Find:

<Directory /var/www/>
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride None
	Require all granted
</Directory>

and change 'AllowOverride' to 'All'.

• Next step will be to enable rewrite module by executing:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

To apply changes do:

sudo service apache2 restart

• Change the permissions for the checker folder to avoid a data leak, do:

chmod 770 /var/www/html/checker/
