SYSOP BBS SECURITY PACKAGE INFO


        Announcing the release of Sysop's BBS Security Pak.  With release
        of REPORT.EXE, the complete, four part package comprising the BBS
        Security Pak is now available.  The four utilities comprising the
        complete package are: CALLBLOC.PPE, VULGARID.PPE, CALLERID.PPE,
        and REPORT.EXE.  All four items together significantly increase
        the security of a small to medium sized PCBoard 15.x BBS system,
        requiring much less manual monitoring by the Sysop.

        The latest versions of all four items can be downloaded from my
        BBS (SBG Online! 703-450-9456).  A brief description of each is:

                1.  CALLBLOC.PPE  a bad caller blocker utility.  Must
                                  have CallerID modem and service.  The
                                  PPE checks all calls incoming against
                                  a Sysop generated text file listing of
                                  undesired phone numbers.  When a match
                                  is found, the system logs the info,
                                  hangs-up, and resets the system before
                                  the user can logon.  HIGHLY Sysop con-
                                  figurable.

                2.  VULGARID.PPE  an abusive user monitor.  Checks new
                                  user entries of name and city against
                                  a Sysop generated text file of words,
                                  characters, and phrases.  Similar to,
                                  but more comprehensive than the stan-
                                  dard PCBoard TCAN name check.  When a
                                  match is found: the info is logged,
                                  user is disconnected, and phone number
                                  is written to CALLBLOC.PPE file for
                                  future automatic lock-out.  Requires
                                  CallerID capable modem/service.
                                  VULGAR.PPE supports non-CallerID
                                  systems.

                3.  CALLERID.PPE  performs ALL functions of CallerID user
                                  monitoring and user phone number entry
                                  verification.  Eliminates need for local
                                  CallBack verifiers which can be very time
                                  consuming.  EXTREMELY Sysop configurable.
                                  Requires CallerID capable modem/service.

                4.  REPORT.EXE    generates various reports for Sysop review
                                  showing all users with matching informa-
                                  tion, such as: passwords, home phone #s,
                                  business phone #s, CallerID #s, etc. to
                                  allow Sysop offline review and identifica-
                                  tion of questionable users and incomplete
                                  or invalid user record entries.  Will
                                  function without CallerID capability.

                5.  DUP-BLOC.PPE  we have now added a fifth utility PPE
                                  called DUP-BLOCK which works along with
                                  CALLBLOC.PPE to prevent users from using
                                  or generating multiple records.
