Using GTM for Marketo form validation

I want to make an attempt to go the non-captcha route of blocking bots from spamming my company's web forms by testing the Honeypot Method. This method requires me to add a custom validation script to all pages with embedded forms. Our website is managed by an externally, and rather than waiting on them to complete this task, I was wondering if I can just use Google Tag Manager to validate this method? If so, how?

Though I use GTM to track various activities from different platforms we use, I would not call myself an advanced user by any means. Any step-by-step instructions provided would be well appreciated.

Please take a look at the Honeypot Method for a better understanding of what I'm trying to do. My question primarily pertains to Step 4.

Thanks all.

The honeypot "method" is not a real method. In practice, it does nothing at all to stop a malicious attack on your form. It takes only one form post to figure out the form requirements, and then a bot can send unlimited additional posts.

Use a reCAPTCHA.
