this is what I posted:

I think on my board that hunting for similar sounding names would not prove
fruitful at all.
I suppose it all greatly depends on how many users you have as to the
intensity of an opperation like this. My php & SQL knowledge ends at this
level!

I would much rather concentrate on a script that would use the IPs in the
posts table and look for users using the same IP within a certain time
frame, eg 15 mins. This should catch people out when they change login from
their real name to the false name in order to flame someone.
Obviously doing a search like that on the post table would be a
server-destroying style query, so my plan would be to feed it a user name
that was suspicious. It would then crank back through the last 20 posts of
that user, grab the IPs, then see if anyone had used that IP within 15 mins
of that post time.

Does that make sense? Do you think it would work?

for some reason i cant open the attachment.. can someone make sure it is working?

I just wanted to say this is a LIFESAVER for the board I run. Great, great add-on. This should be in vB3.

Hey, would anyone be able to modify this hack so the passwords aren't encrypted? It would be a lot of help!

Thanks :)

This is imposible. You cannot de-crypt the MD5 hash.

You can add more features to this by adding the user's usercp options. Like sigs off, or how many posts per page they are viewing.

Anyone know how to combine the two and view by BOTH duplicate IP's and passwords? Yes, I am this lazy, and I have a lot of duplicate IPs and duplicate passwords on my forum, and finding the ones that have both in common is becoming tedious. Any help?

fricken awesome hack!!!!! Been looking for something like this... ;)

The requested URL /forum/admin/moderator.php was not found on this server.

I have not file moderator.php or I find him(it) thank you

is it just me or has anyone else noticed that if you click the duplicate passwords link it brings up the list of doupe IP's and then the doupe passwords as well instead of just the doupe passords list alone?

Added if a user can post to the outpout, a remove link, an admin header footer, and a reverse lookup of the ip addresses. if you are interested feel free to download it. It did not take much time but might help some of those of you who don't have time to add these things.

~ clicks install..... I like this thanks.

Clicks install....great hack

Flawless via 2.3.0

/me clicks install

Did anyone manage to that working with similiar emailnames particularly, i'd be very intereste din this ???

Such a very useful hack for my boards to be launched. Great work guys. there seems to be more than 4 versions in this thread by now, let me try them out.

Good, as i am also using 2.3.0

Thanks for the hack and the support.

Cheers

To integrate this into the control panel, I did the following:

Open admin/index.php
Find: Add AFTER it:
Open admin/dupeip.php
Find: Add AFTER it:

Awesome hack. Love it!!!!

I got this error in control panel...

Warning: Address is not a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address in /home/virtual/site17/fst/var/www/html/admin/dupeip.php on line 74

Yes, I have IP loggin enabled.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

This only checks the IPs used to register? That is not nearly as helpful as checking it against ALL the IPs a user uses. Many people get on the internet at work and have atleast 2 IPs. Heck I just did a search on the IPs I've used and I've used 24. So basically this hack has a 1 in 24 chance in stopping me. Good hack however I think it can be improved.

:) Good hack!

*Installs*

Can anyone modify this hack so it will also check against the IP the users post with instead of just the IP used to register alone? TIA

Works well.. Thanks mate !

bump for getting this hack to check all the ips used. and for making it just check the passwords alone as well.

This is a brilliant hack! :bow:

How about getting this up for VB3

It works fine with vB3, as is :)

tenbucks, you are correct. I didn't pay attention to the bottom of the list.

UPdate :p
Got the same problem + theres a problem with the IPs as some of the dupicates are people i personaly know and its saying they are sharing an IP

Did anyone ever modify this hack to check against all the post IP's instead of just the registration IP? That makes a huge difference in the effectiveness of this hack.

An old hack, indeed.
Anyone have this for 3.6?

anyone have this for 3.6.1 ?? Pls..
