404 error ban.

Hack: 404 error ban

By: Anime-loo

This hack provides you with a new way of banning people from your forum, i wrote this for a client awhile back and never released it, well i saw the blank page ban released so I decided to release mine ;).

This basicly dose what the thread title says, if a user is in the 404 banned usergourp they will get a "HTTP 404 - File not found" on any page powered by vBulletin.

Simple i know, but its been useful for me. :)

Download: Here

Version 2

Version two is now out, remove the the loo_404 template and do the new code edit for global.php to upgrade. do not run the query in the install file if you already have version 1 installed!!

Heh, I've been doing this for the last 4 months on my vBulletin, but I failed at emulating the 404-error page in HTML, so instead I simply copy+pasted an image of the 404-error page into Adobe, saved it as a really light-weight GIF, then edited the ban-template in the ACP and set the image using CSS as a background of the page, but so it does not repeat. It works well, but if the user simply tried to highlight any of the 404-error text, they would find out it would not be possible.. though, that doesn't mean they'd figure out what I had done to ban them ;)

Anyway, your method wins over mine, so I guess it's time for upgrade :p

My hack lets people use whatever :p

nice hack though, but I prefer mysql errors :p

You forgot to include the images in the 404 also Anime-loo ;)
And I'm fairly sure this 404 is just the internet-explorer version, so let's hope Netscape/Mozilla users don't catch on ^_^

Brad	02-08-2003 09:44 PM

Yea, im very lazy. ill zip the images up sometime tonight.

hmm would this also work?

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==333) {

           @header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");

           @header("Status: 404 Not Found");

    }

I use index.php to hide important folders by adding this to them

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

  @header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");

  @header("Status: 404 Not Found");

?>

and was wondering if this would also work.

N9ne	02-08-2003 09:45 PM

What you could do is create a custom 404 page for your server, and then just call it somehow (I think it is possible somehow). That way it's the same in all browser windows :).

What does the @header mean/do ?

It sends the user's browser info, like the page status and so on, it can also be used to tell when to update the page in the cace, if it should cache the page and the filetype and so on, with the example I gave above, it tells your browser that this page is 404 (missing) and then the browser shows a 404 file mssing page.

Great idea :D

I think that would be the best way to make a 404 error ban hack, since then the browser would call up its internal 404 error page like IE does.

Thanks yo. I needed this.

Make more hacks.

Exactly. I've been doing that for 1 year now, by adding a small piece of code in my forum/global.php - the 404 error is based on the browser templates, so it's browser-specific.

I updated the hack for this. If anyone has installed it they sould download the new txt in the frist post and re-install. Also remove the loo_404 template.

Nice hack, but I decided to use vBStealth with a little bit of code from the HellBan hack to torture the user with Internal Server Errors every 3rd page. I'll click install becuase this hack is still cool. :)

Erwin

02-10-2003 11:45 PM

I'll tell you how I do it. You can achieve the same result without hacking by doing this:

Open phpinclude template, add to the bottom:

Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 8) {

   header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");

   header("Status: 404 Not Found");

   exit;

}

Change 8 to the banned usergroupid you use. Done! :)

You could, but what's the fun in that? :)

Thanks, Erwin. Will use your suggestion.

Great hack, man! Works brilliant!

But now another question raises:
How can I hide the banned users from the memberslist on the forum?

Erwin

02-19-2003 05:06 AM

Open memberlist.php and find the code below:

PHP Code:


		
			
  $userscount=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS users

                                     FROM user,userfield

                                     WHERE $condition AND

                                           user.userid = userfield.userid

                                           ".iif($memberAllGood, " AND usergroupid NOT IN (1,3,4) ", "")."

                                           ");

Add more usergroups to exclude in (1,3,4) in the code.

:)

I have no use for this really (at least at the moment) but I just gotta say what a great idea! Nice job! :)

John	02-25-2003 10:21 AM

The query doesn't work for me - I get:
Column count doesn't match value count at row 1
On vB 2.2.9

Don't you mean this section?

PHP Code:


		
			
  $users=$DB_site->query("SELECT *

                          FROM user,userfield

                          WHERE $condition AND

                                user.userid = userfield.userid

                                ".iif($memberAllGood, " AND usergroupid NOT IN (1,3,4,8) ", "")."

This is what will keep the names off of the memberlist. The code below will just show how many users, won't it? If I missed something, I apologize, Erwin. :)

Boofo, you're right - my memory is getting to me and I got confused by john's post - I've reverted back to my original post.

You don't add anything - just find that code section, and add usergroupids to exclude. :)

Boofo

02-26-2003 12:47 AM

You need to add the usergroupid to hide in both pieces of code, one for the count (your code) and one for the actual name (the $users code) below that. :)

Is there a way this can be done for IP/E-mail banned users as well? I dont like users coming back on proxys.

After you ban the member's IP and/or Email, just change their usergroupid to the one for 404 error ban.

I tried this and it still brings up the Sorry the administrator has banned your IP address... I was looking around in the files for the place that actually calls the template error_banip but I couldn't find it. Would there be anything I could do there to have IP banned users also get the 404 ban?

Open /admin/functions.php, find:

PHP Code:


		
			
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_banip")."\");");

Replace with:

Code:

header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");

   header("Status: 404 Not Found");

   exit;

Oh yeah I figured that out a while ago. Thanks though. If anyone else is wondering that then you just got your answer! :)

cant run the query for some reason :

SQL-query :

INSERT INTO usergroup
VALUES (

"333", "Banned", "", "0", "1", "1", "1", "1", "0", "1", "0", "0", "0", "1", "1", "1", "1", "0", "0", "1", "1", "1", "0", "0", "1", "0", "0", "0", "0", "0", "0", "0", "0", "1"
)

MySQL said:

#1136 - Column count doesn't match value count at row 1
