vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Need to find the security leak! Hack request concept inside.

Would it be possible to lock an account to an IP? For example, each user has an "IP Pool" that is allowed to access their account. For example, if I tried to login from a friend's house using my l/p, it would deny the access. However, from a legit IP, I could add my friend's IP to the IP Pool, thus allowing me access from his home.

Unfortunately, I've had to resort to such drastic ideas/measures to try to find the leak in my moderating team. Plus, I think it could help deter future issues.

Is this possible? Is anyone willing to undertake this task? There has to be a few security nuts out there who would get use out of this as well.
