## Descripción

EDZNET Honeypot & Timing Guard protects Contact Form 7 forms from bot submissions
using three complementary techniques:

### Honeypot

A real text input is rendered off-screen (hidden via CSS positioning, not display:
none). Bots that fill in visible form fields will often fill this one too, while
human visitors never see it.

### Timing Guard

A signed timestamp is injected into each form. Submissions arriving faster than 
the configured minimum time (default: 3 seconds) are rejected as bots. The timestamp
is HMAC-signed with your site’s secret key, preventing tampering.

### Gibberish Content Detection

The plugin analyses every submitted field (except internal and honeypot fields) 
for random-looking content — long character strings without spaces, words mixing
letters and digits, or vowel-less letter sequences. Bots that fill forms with random
noise are caught here.

When spam is detected, CF7 silently drops the mail and logs the reason to its spam
log.

No configuration required — just install and activate.

## Instalación

 1. Upload the `edznet-honeypot-timing-guard` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
 3. Contact Form 7 forms are now protected.

## FAQ

### Can I change the minimum submit time?

Yes. Add this to your theme’s `functions.php`:

    ```
    add_filter( 'edz_hp_min_seconds', fn() => 5 );
    ```

### Can I require the timestamp field?

By default, forms cached before the plugin was activated won’t have a timestamp.
Set the filter to `true` once your cache has rolled over:

    ```
    add_filter( 'edz_hp_require_timestamp', '__return_true' );
    ```
