## Description

SpoofLens Fraud Check asks the SpoofLens API one question when someone registers,
places an order or sends a form: does this visitor look like an honest person in
a normal browser?

You get a score from 0 to 100, a verdict and the reasons in plain words, next to
each user and order:

 * browsers that lie about themselves (a user-agent switch, antidetect browsers,
   contradictions between the browser, its graphics card, fonts and time zone);
 * bots and automated or headless browsers;
 * data center, VPN and Tor networks, DNS and WebRTC leaks;
 * how many accounts were created on the same device in the last 30 days, the classic
   sign of promo-code and free-trial abuse.

By default nothing is blocked: you see a “Risk” column in the Users and Orders lists
and a note on each order. You can choose to block automated browsers, scores below
a threshold, whatever the rules in your SpoofLens account say to block (block lists
of IPs, devices and countries, thresholds), and form submissions sent without browser
data, which is how most spam bots post. If the API is unavailable, nobody is blocked.

Works with WordPress registration, WooCommerce My Account registration, both the
classic and the block WooCommerce checkout, Contact Form 7 and WPForms. Compatible
with High-Performance Order Storage. A blocked form submission is treated as spam:
Contact Form 7 marks it as spam, WPForms shows an error and does not save the entry.

A free key gives 1,000 checks a month: https://spooflens.com/en/app/api

### External services

This plugin relies on the SpoofLens service (https://spooflens.com), operated by
SpoofLens.

 * On the registration page, on the WooCommerce checkout and My Account pages and
   on pages with a Contact Form 7 or WPForms form, the visitor’s browser runs the
   collector script that ships with the plugin (assets/sl.js, MIT; its signal part
   is also published at https://github.com/spooflens/spooflens-collector). The script
   collects technical characteristics the browser reports to websites (system and
   its display settings, screen, languages, time zone, fonts, graphics card and 
   its parameters, sound output, the number and a hash of the names of speech voices,
   which emoji the system can draw, a class of the storage quota, canvas, WebGL 
   and audio fingerprints) and connects to edge.spooflens.com and a random name 
   under l.spooflens.com to read the TLS handshake, the first TCP packet of the 
   connection, the round trip of a few short requests, the DNS resolver and the 
   public WebRTC address.
 * When a user registers, an order is placed or a form is sent, your server sends
   to https://spooflens.com/v1/assess: the collected data, the visitor’s IP address
   and request headers (User-Agent, Accept-Language, Client Hints), and a SHA-256
   hash of the email address. The answer (score, verdict, reasons) is stored with
   the user or order on your site.
 * SpoofLens does not store the browser data or the full IP address. Its request
   log, visible to you in your SpoofLens account, keeps for 30 days the time, score,
   decision, reasons, device identifier, the shortened IP address, country and network
   type; it also keeps a hash of the device identifier and of the account reference
   for 30 days to count accounts per device.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Get a free API key at https://spooflens.com/en/app/api
 3. Go to Settings > SpoofLens, paste the key, save and press “Test connection”.
 4. Watch the scores for a week before you turn on any blocking.

## FAQ

### Will it block real customers?

Not unless you tell it to. Blocking is off by default, and the plugin always lets
the visitor through when the API cannot be reached.

### Does it stop contact form spam?

Yes, for Contact Form 7 and WPForms. Form checks are off by default, because each
submission uses one API request: in Settings, SpoofLens, tick your form plugin under“
Check”. Then turn on “Form submissions without browser data” to stop bots that post
the form without running JavaScript, and “Automated browsers” for headless browsers.
Every submission is checked in your SpoofLens account log (Request log), with the
reason.

### What about ad blockers?

If a blocker stops the collector script, the order or user is marked “not checked”.
That is not treated as fraud.

### Does it slow down checkout?

The browser data is collected in the background while the visitor fills the form.
The API call itself usually takes 50 to 300 ms and has a 5 second timeout.

### Is customer data sent to SpoofLens?

See “External services” below. Email addresses are hashed on your server before 
they are sent.

## Changelog

#### 0.2.1

 * Updated collector: more traits of the device and its system (display settings,
   sound output, speech voices, emoji support, a class of the storage quota, graphics
   card parameters, a second WebGL test scene), the JavaScript engine, traces of
   automation tools and the round trip to the checking server. The new checks run
   on the SpoofLens side; your settings do not change.
 * Settings: the free key gives 1,000 checks a month, also after the beta.

#### 0.2.0

 * Contact Form 7 and WPForms: the collector and a hidden field go into every form;
   a submission your settings say to block is treated as spam.
 * New blocking options: follow the decision of the rules in your SpoofLens account,
   and block form submissions sent without browser data.

#### 0.1.1

 * The collector script ships with the plugin instead of being loaded from spooflens.
   com.
 * The text domain matches the plugin slug (spooflens-fraud-check); admin styles
   load through wp_add_inline_style.
 * The “accounts on this device” line sits under the score in the Risk column.

#### 0.1.0

 * First version: registration and checkout checks, Risk columns, order notes, optional
   blocking.
