I'll freely admit that I don't have a coding-related bone in my body. Hence why I'm opening this one up for anyone to take a stab at.
What I'm after is a fairly comprehensive SockPuppet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry) checker. That is, the ability to check certain aspects of a user account against the rest of the database, and output any matches. Probably in a page in the mod cp.
I was thinking:
- PHPSESSION
- IP Address
- Email Address
- Browser User Agent
- Password Hashes
So, to run this check, I go to the relvant page in the mod cp. I type in 'Test1' for the user, and the plugin runs off and checks it.
It spits back a PHPSESSION, User Agent and IP Address match for user 'Test2', and an IP Match for 'Test3'. Hey presto - I just determined that Test1 and Test2 are the same person, and Test3 could be a flatmate.
Thoughts? I promise much love and admiration for the person who does write it :)
