- - Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Multiple Account Registration Prevention (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=127045)

been using this add-on for a while and it's working fine under 3.6.8, tnx!

Because this add-on is connected with the AE Multiple Log-in detector, the threads for the Multiple Account Registration Prevention are placed in the same forum as the AE detector.

would it be possible to have an option in the Admin Panel to output the Multiple Account Registration Prevention in a different forum or subforum of my choosing?

TIA :)

Could this be updated to exclude AOL users from IP checks? I'm getting quite a few false positives from them.

This Is A Silly Question I Know But HOW Do I Check Which Id Had The Same Ip That Way I Can Check It..please Guide..THANKS IN ADVANCE..ITS AWESOME...I JUST LACK THE KNOWLEDGE OF USING IT PROPERLY SO SIR OR MAM IF U CAN HELP IT WOULD BE MOSTLY APPRECIATED

What tiny mods did you make?

It appears that my new reg's aren't being auto banned.

Very nice mod. I've been having allot of trouble with a certain user constantly ban evading using proxies. Thanks allot for this.

Oh, and for the record, I was the #1337 person to download this mod ^.^

I was getting a lot of false positives from proxy.aol.com users who were registering on my forum, so I modded the code a bit.
The attached version of the code includes a new config option (defaulting to proxy.aol.com) which ignores IP matches from users registering with that hostname/domain. This is a good compromise if you're not comfortable asking AOL users to disable the proxy.

same here

Any chance of getting this for 3.7 with one modification:

Instead of sending a PM, my preference would be to create a new thread in a designated forum. Possible?

Thanks!

hmmm
ok it detects cookies and IP
but users can just logout or user IE and FF for example
and what about users that came from proxies ?

The first half of this program: Multiple Account Login Detector (AE Detector) sets a special cookie that is not deleted on logout and is stored in another section of the PC then the normal cookies are. And the cool thing is this cookie does not get deleted when the user deletes all of the browser cookies, as it is outside the standard cookie folder location.

They can switch browsers all they want. makes no difference.

as for proxies, there is a mod on this site that prevents proxy site use, and allows AOL and dial up users to still gain access. There is also the 2 IP info and Proxy to IP mods that will help with that issue.

There are so many mods available for vB that will help you prevent over 99.5% of user dupe accounts it's not even funny.

Why these features are not standard along with a standard Admin selected Real First and Last name profile fields just kills me.

I have all of these security mods and more and they all work great.

I just needed to post...we have a troll who just won't go away (he registered his 10th account a few minutes ago) and this add-on to the original mod has been wonderful. He is using AOL proxies about half the time to register and this mod catches him if he happens to use the same one he's used before (yes some legit users are coming up on the list when he registers, and yes some innocent new members may get caught, but I'm willing to take that risk; at least the accounts are frozen until I can get online and investigate. The guy is very easy to spot by his email addies and often his usernames).

So anyways, this mod is great. :) Although as stated before, the guy isn't being put in the banned group, he's always going into the users awaiting moderation group. I can live with that and all, but as is the option to move them to the banned group is basically useless.

Found a bug:
if your includes/config.php has its db type set to mysqli, it breaks registration, e.g:

Code:

$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysqli';

To fix it, you need to update the register_addmember_process under Manage Products to the following:

Code:

//if the cookie exists then we know that the user already has an account

if (isset($_COOKIE['IDstack']) && $vbulletin->options['marpon'])

{

        //set the usergroup to the one specified in options, or Users Awaiting Moderation

        $userdata->set('usergroupid', $vbulletin->options['marpusergroup']);

        

        //Automatic banning of previously banned users

        if ($vbulletin->options['marpautobanon'] && $vbulletin->options['marpbannedgroup'])

        {

                $marpautoban = FALSE;

                if($idstack = explode(',',$_COOKIE['IDstack']))

    {

                        foreach ($idstack as $uid)

                        {

                                if (is_numeric($uid))

                                {

                                        //check to see if any of the multiple users are banned

                                        if (is_member_of(fetch_userinfo($uid), $vbulletin->options['marpbannedgroup']))

                                                $marpautoban = TRUE;

                                }

                        }

                        

                        //ban the user

                        if ($marpautoban)

                                $userdata->set('usergroupid', $vbulletin->options['marpbannedgroup']);

                }

        }

}

//IP based prevention

else 

{

        if ($vbulletin->options['marpipon'])

        {

                $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

                

                //check to see if another user exists with the same ip address

                if ($multip = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT userid,username,ipaddress FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE ipaddress='{$ip}'"))

                {

                        if ($vbulletin->db->num_rows($multip) > 1)

                        {

                                $userdata->set('usergroupid', $vbulletin->options['marpusergroup']);

                                

                                $andids = " ". $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] ." ";

                                $andusers = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

                                

                                while ($mip = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($multip))

                                {

                                        $andids .= ', ' . " ". $mip['username'] ." ";

                                        $andusers .= ','.$mip['username'];

                                }

                                $message = construct_phrase($vbphrase['marp_ipmessage'], htmlspecialchars_uni($vbulletin->userinfo['username']), $andids, $ip);

                                $subject = construct_phrase($vbphrase['marp_subject'], htmlspecialchars_uni($vbulletin->userinfo['username']), $andusers, '[IP]');

              // create the DM to do error checking and insert the new PM (needs to be here)

              $pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_SILENT);

                  $pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);

                  $pmdm->save();

              }

        

              if($vbulletin->options['ae_startthread'] == '1' AND $vbulletin->options['ae_forumid'])

              {

                  require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php');

        

                  // setup variables

                  $forumid = $vbulletin->options['ae_forumid'];

                  $threaddm = new vB_DataManager_Thread_FirstPost($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD);

                      

                  // insert thread

                  $threaddm->do_set('forumid', $forumid);

                  $threaddm->do_set('userid', $fromuser['userid']);

                  $threaddm->do_set('username', $fromuser['username']);

                  $threaddm->do_set('pagetext', $message);

                  $threaddm->do_set('title', $subject);

                  $threaddm->do_set('allowsmilie', $allowsmilie);

                  $threaddm->do_set('visible', $visible);

                  $tid = $threaddm->save();

        

                  require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_databuild.php');

                  build_forum_counters($forumid);

              }

            }

                }

                

        }

}

it is changing "mysql_num_rows($multip)" to "$vbulletin->db->num_rows($multip)"

I think the time has come for a new update. most of us are using VB 3.7 :)

???

Hi I installed the hack in 3.7

If I have a user that has logged in and then he is making a new registration then the hack it's catching him.

But ..

One user has registered into my forum at 16:00 (lets say) from IP address 11.111.111.111 (of course it is not the real IP). After 30 minutes he is registering again with different username/mail but from the same IP. Shouldnt be captured by the hack ??

Thanks,

John B.

Love it, installed :)

not working for me on vb3.7.2 either

was fantastic on 3.6.8

Thats intresting. I tried to run it on 3.7.0 and got all sorts of errors.

I have it on 3.7.3 PL1, works!

I'm trying it and it seems to work. Marked as installed. Thanks :up:

I want to keep an eye on this and will use it when it gets updated and out of beta?

Thanks!

:up:

some update for this?? on 3.7 doesn't work anymore:(

My users are getting errors during registration, except it doesn't happen in all browsers... It seems to only happen in Internet Explorer or other browsers that extend it.

First, this appears at the very top:

Quote:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/register.php(385) : eval()'d code on line 44

Then (probably because of the first error), this appears in the vBulletin Message box:

Quote:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/domain/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php
Line: 3242

Can anyone think of a solution? I've really got no idea =[

Tried it and it only generated error messages.

Does this work on 3.8.0?

Would be good if it did!

Since we updated to 3.8 the new users can not register in the forum and we are getting continuous errors from the database, for example this is the last one received:

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.0:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO logins (userid, username, ipaddress, phpdate, logintype) VALUES (, 'marcelinno', '217.124.30.141', 1232059966, '');

I had problems with this too, so I developed a modification like it that works just fine with vBulletin 3.7 and 3.8. If you're interested, check out the link in my signature.

I have desinstaled:

Multiple Account Registration Prevention
Multiple Account Login Detector (AE Detector)

And installed your mod
Multiple Account Detection & Prevention

But the problem persists
