Thank you, first post updated :)

Forgive my n00b question here -- but what is alt IP? Are you saying that vB captures another IP address than the one passed in the headers?

No,

The IP is the right one.
But some proxys also disclose the ip behind the proxy, in that case the first ip is the right one; the proxy ip, and the alt_ip is the one behind the proxy. (which doesnt work in all proxy) but it sure as hell saves time when spammers sign up with multiple accounts and the proxy changes, but the ip behind it doesn't.

Moved to the correct forum ;)

[Elmer]

I like it. Installing it now :)
thanks

[AlexanderT]

Download worked fine now. Not sure what was wrong before, but I AM sure it was nothing wrong on my part ;)

[Dan]

Stuff is completely lame. It should be removed as it takes up too much space.

[Chris|vB]

Nice job.

(which doesnt work in all proxy) but it sure as hell saves time when spammers sign up with multiple accounts and the proxy changes, but the ip behind it doesn't.I didn't know that. Can I capture that somehow instead of the proxy IP that is/maybe being sent and dump that in the user table?

[Floris]

Moved to the correct forum ;)Thank you - sorry I had to request it over IRC so quickly, but I had to leave the internet for a short while and did not have the time to write a nice PrivMsg.

That won't be possible, it is part of the title of the hack. It is just the title and not what shows once installed, I am sure you can live with it. Trolling the release isn't appriciated either, "stuff is lame" is not a worthy argument to take you more serious then the title of the hack itself.


Nice job.
Thank you kindy.

Yes, I believe I wrote a hack for gamma to do this. I released it on some sites - I never updated it to version 3 gold though.

[ryancooper]

OK maybe I am blind but I can not figure out how to actully Edit a phrase??
I go to phrase manager, edit the file but it doesn;t allow me to change anything??

Thanks!

There are no files in the phrase manager.

[ryancooper]

There are no files in the phrase manager.

[Zachery]

Copy the default over.... and then edit it.

Why add "biggest hack evah" ? It's clearly not the "biggest hack evah" and only serves to make people look at this thread more. A little childish.

It is called "a little job, humor" - I know it is new for vBulletin.org members, but give it a shot.

[gmarik]

why should one need this?

[Floris]

why should one need this?
Yesterday I noticed a weird username signing up and I kept my eye on this profile, later on 7 new members joined within 10 minutes.

I matched the profile and their main IP was different, but the IP behind (altip) was the same. The user made 1 spam post and quickly got his 8 accounts banned.

That is why I like it - for one reason.

[Nikolis87]

this doesnt help much if the user has a dynamic IP does it?

[Floris]

Well, if we are gonna nitpick about this - a user won't sign up 8 times in 10 minutes with 8 new logins for each proxy. At least not the majority of abusers. And this is info based on experience.

If you don't like the hack, don't use it. No need to start acting cocky

[Logikos]

Nice one floris!

[good2laugh]

This is great thanks

It would be more useful then to integrate ALT IP in the user table, and have a new users manager option in admincp to spot users with duplicate IPs and duplicate ALT ips. I don't really have the time to look for each individual user signing up and cmparing his IPs though the newuser emails.

Btw, I agree that a little humor is nice. But I fail to miss the humor in naming this hack "the biggest hack evah" nor to write the name of the hack all in capital letters. If everyone did that, the hack database would look like a big mess in no time.

[Crinos]

I like this little modification, but the comments from the killjoys are almost as good :D

[sv1cec]

I have downloaded it, but haven't yet install it.

One question. Does it sends the admin an e-mail every time a new user registers with the forums or every time he posts?

I am new to vB so it is not clear to me.

Thanks and regards

[Jolten]

THANK YOU!!!

/me clicks install as hard as he can.

This is exactly what I needed.

[SmartGnome]

Thanks Floris for this usefull hack........ Install is clicked :laugh:

[OTWA]

downloaded.. what would have to be done to use this in the postbit ?

[Noiz Pollution]

This would be an amazing hack if it were included in the page where you check the ip a user has made a specific post from.


Cheers,

[Host Directory]

Can anyone explain to me what exactly this hack does?

[Ocean]

Can anyone explain to me what exactly this hack does?



When a new user registers on your board, you (as the Admin) receives an email notifying you of this. It contains certain basis information about this new user (Username, email address, etc...).

What this hack does is makes it so that you also get IP Address information included in that Admin Notification email. :)

[TwinsForMe]

* TwinForMe clicks install. :)

[Bison]

What variable do I use to print the Referral in this new email?

[Bison]

Can someone tell me this?

[Lottis]

Nice floris. Il juse it. :) Just fore the same reason that you gave earlyer.

[bigcurt]

Floris, you made this FOR MY SITE!! DIDNT YOU? lol. You ++++in rock. Even though I did lose your community of year. ::cries::

[mOdEtWo]

Is it possible to get vB to lookup the IP before sending out the mail and display both the IP, ALT IP and hostname?

It's easier than having to lookup the IP myself. :)

[Godzilla MR2]

Great hack! installed and clicked
3.0.4 tested and works great

[Viks]

good mod.
Real useful for admins.

a big PLUS on using the HTL format.

[neocorteqz]

I'm surprised i dind't see this earlier. Clicked install, Nice Work.

Edit: Thanks for the HTL.

[oglsmm]

Now how can I add this to the email sent to the user (activation email). When I added the code to that phrase it just shows up black in the email.

[Viks]

I found this a great utility for my vb3.0.x forums

Floris, could you port this mod into vB3.5.x if possible?

Thank you.

Vik

[bigcurt]

Would like to see this for 3.5/3.6 as well if at all possible Floris :).
