Why Choose This Project?

Online feedback/contact forms are often targeted by spam bots, leading to junk data, phishing attempts, or server overload. A secure feedback form ensures that only genuine users can submit feedback while automatically filtering out malicious or automated entries. This project combines form security, bot detection, and data validation to provide a safe channel for organizations to collect user input.

What You Get in This Project

• Spam filtering and input sanitization to prevent XSS/SQL injection.
