    @studioavanti ,

    We had tried adding support for Piotnet in past but was unable to do so. Also, there honeypot uses the same technique like ours.

    Still i will study again and try adding support for it.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I think Piotnet Forms honeypot is a classic one, hidden and awaiting to be blindly filled by a bot:
    https://piotnetforms.com/piotnetforms/honeypot/

    …which is different from WP Armour using JS, and probably less reliable:

    We have used the honeypot technic differently in this plugin to make it work better. What other plugin does is, they add honeypot anti spam field from server side (PHP) and check if the spam bot have filled or not. If it is filled it is marked as spam. But in our case, we add honeypot anti spam field from client side (Javascript) and check if honeypot field exists or not. Spam bots can’t use javascript and honeypot field is not available for them. This way we can better trap spam bot.

    Someone on Piotnet Forms FB suggested that bots could bypass classic honeypots by only filling required fields, provided they can detect them.
    It makes sense to me and would break classic honeypots efficiency, right?
