I collect a lot of data and data mining is just one of those things that I enjoy.
I build Web Crawlers and Web Scrapers often, but I really love tracking other
bots, some of which I’ve “known” for decades now.

With the ever expanding Facebook Empire, I’ve been catching a lot of the
hits from FacebookExternalHit,
[ facebookexternalhit/1.1 (+http://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php) ]
and while Facebook it’self is being overrun by nefarious bots and hacked accounts,
their problem is my solution.

The majority of the hits from FacebookExternalHit have preceded an attack, which tells me several things.
1: Facebook For Developers has given nefarious actors an edge on the Facebook user and I won’t go into detail on that, but I can make better informed security decisions based on what can be done from that side of the platform.

2: I can test my security software on both Facebook and my websites by simply posting a link to Facebook and this is really handy in my line of work. I get to see which Data Center the bot is coming from (GeoLocation), how many bots that particular Data Center has (Interesting Data There) and how fast the reaction time is, which helps determine the software being used and in which manner it’s being used.

3: Most Importantly, it gives me reasons to build new software.

So, I built this database for such purpose as to collect more data on the situation and there’s some interesting patterns developing. While it’s not exactly something I feel the urge to release, it’s worth sharing.

FBDC uses Php and MySQL, a pretty simple database and small file sizes (I like small files).
The User Input Form Works.. Ikr, a form that works??
It has a few things left to work out on the user input; I’m a big fan of getting my hands dirty,
so Updating the Data Center / BotInfo is being done via phpmyadmin until I build a better form.
Here’s a few screenshots:

WordPress (WP, WordPress.org) is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) written in PHP and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database. Features include a plugin architecture and a template system, referred to within WordPress as Themes. WordPress was originally created as a blog-publishing system but has evolved to support other web content types including more traditional mailing lists and forums, media galleries, membership sites, learning management systems (LMS) and online stores. WordPress is used by 41.4% of the top 10 million websites as of May 2021, WordPress is one of the most popular content management system solutions in use. WordPress has also been used for other application domains, such as pervasive display systems (PDS).

WordPress was released on May 27, 2003, by its founders, American developer Matt Mullenweg and English developer Mike Little, as a fork of b2/cafelog. The software is released under the GPLv2 (or later) license.

To function, WordPress has to be installed on a web server, either part of an Internet hosting service like WordPress.com or a computer running the software package WordPress.org in order to serve as a network host in its own right. A local computer may be used for single-user testing and learning purposes.

Let’s Get You Started Using WordPress.

Content Management Systems make your life easy if you’re a Web Developer or even a novice Web Designer.
A CMS allows you to get set-up a lot faster that hand coding your entire Web Site.
Most Content Management Systems come with pre-made Theme Templates and Accessories, such as Widgets, Back End Tools, Editors and Security and are easier to use than trying to sift through thousands of lines of code.

Which CMS Is Right For You?

Every Web Site has it’s own Character and a lot of that boils down to the Color Scheme in use.
While some Color Combinations are relatively easy on the reader,others are certainly not and you should have a Web Site that Everyone can read.

Choosing Contrasting Colors can make your Pages easy to read, but too much contrast and you’l have a headache in  no time. Always have a “Beta Group” of friends or co-workers that are wiling to critique your Web Site and it’s Color Scheme.

What’s Your Favorite Color?
