问题
My current honey pot on my registration form is an entry for phone number which is placed off screen using position: fixed;.
It tricked a standard breed form filler, but doesn't work as well as I though. Also, the spambots immediately responded to changes in the form, meaning that this is automatic, what can I do.
Note: I hate captchs since the make they users solve my problems which is never good.

Build a really smart honeypot
That may seem obvious, but here are a few tricks(Details later):
- Think Like a spam bot
- Assume that they are able to know what is on screen or behind other elements
- have multiple traps.
- Time Trap
- Honey pot
1. Think like a spam bot:
Start going through your page like a spam bot, You can even write your own which can waist time but is quite fun :).
Most spam bots will crawl through the markup looking for a <form> element. Then they will look at your inputs and fill them in appropriately, which is the catch: how do they know what to fill in. They will prbably look at the Id, class, placeholder, and label. which brings us to our first method
Method #1:
Mis label inputs in your form code. Bascily your username input should have the Id of #Form_Email boom! spam bot fills out form incorrectly. Also hide and mislabel your inputs labels, use divs instead.*
Method #2 starts here
You've probably noticed that if you simply ignore hidden stuff, based on location what is in front of it and even the good old display: none;,visibility: hidden;,opacity: 0; or type='hidden'. This gives us a powerful weapon. I discovered this by accident while testing a time trap. I used a basic form filler to fill the form. On my site(I'm not talking about GiantCowFilms.com), the register form is in a dialog that opens when a user clicks a register button. By default it is hidden. This gave me an idea for
Method #2
Default: form is hidden. Basically, your form is hidden on page load, but is uncovered by some mouse based action(I don't think bots have mouses). If you wan't your form to be visible on page load, add a I identical decoy one which is above the real one in the markup.If the bot fills in and submits it, block its Ip for a few minuets.** For really users, simply when the mouse hovers over the decoy form, switch them around.
2. Assume that they know what your page looks like
Assuming that hiding honeypot with CSS is perfect is a grave mistake. Their are a lot of super smart screen readers like JAWS that could be repurposed for spaming. That is why you have multiple lines of defense.
3. Have multiple traps
- Time Traps:
Going back to thinking like a bot, would you wan't to wait on a site instead of attacking others?
Method #3:Create a time trap.
The best way is to print a time in a hidden input when the page loads. when you submit the form, it tells you how long it took. Fill the form as fast as you can. That should be the minimum amount of time to fill your for.Note: encrypt your time stamp so bots cannot change it.
If you wan't to get really fancy, measure the WPM of the bot typing. This is done on stack exchange( try copy and pasting then submitting and question/answer). Also if the rate of typing is very consistent, that is a red flag. - Honeypots (Method #4): Use all of the above at once for best results. Make sure to trick dumb bots as well as smart bots (don't assume the bot is always trying hard.).
Now, in order to spam us, bots will have to have cursors, render the page, wait, type at a variable realist speed. If they make a bot like that, Then I guess it'll be Captcha time :(.
*People using screen readers will trigger or be confused by these defenses, and depending on your country you could get into trouble for discriminating against blind to semi-blind people. Therefor, when a user triggers the bot test, take them to a non loaded form with a disability friendly captcha like reCaptcha.
**People often share Ips and you can chase away valid users.
P.S. Use simple honey pots like you already have. Some bots are just too dumb to get tricked by what we have here.

For years, I've used my own 'form spammer trap' that uses a variety of techniques to block spambots. The most effective is to obscure fields (especially the form's 'action') for a short time period. Since the bot scrapes your form for the fields, and the 'action' page, and uses that info to "CURL" your form data, putting false info in those areas will fool just about all spambots.
After a timeout (JS-based), the obscured values are replaced with their actual values. By the time that happens, the spambot has moved onto another target, and using the bogus values will fail.
I've developed this whole process into a free solution available at my "Form Spammer Trap" site https://www.FormSpammerTrap.com . That site has been around for years, and the contact form there has yet to be successfully 'spam-botted'. (You bots are welcome to try.)
To implement in your site, you add one 'include' and three functions. And you can customize the form with some advanced techniques.
For those that are interested in how a spambot works, and why common 'tricks' such as hidden fields don't work, see here: https://www.securitydawg.com/how-bots-spam-contact-forms/ .
My 'FormSpammerTrap' solution is free (PHP-based), and is available via the Contact form (just check the box to get the free code). No obligations; I don't even save your email address.
But it is quite effective. IMHO.
