Hi folks.
I've done a bit of searching but haven't found anything for this.
We have a disgruntled banned user that has been creating users with spoofed IP addresses. I'm not quite sure how he's doing it, but all of the IPs are lacking hostnames. I would think hostname would be there for any valid user.
Is there a way to block registration if the request has no hostname? Not sure if there is a mod in existence that does that.
If there isn't, can I modify one of php files to do that?
Also, can anyone think of a valid reason why a typical user would not have a hostname?
Thanks in advance.
