Cookie Ban ??

[aveon]

hello mates

im looking for a mod well this mod will put a cookie on someones computer if they are banned via IP and try to access the forum. It then will check for that cookie every time they try to access the forum, and will block them. If there is something like this it would be most usefull for keeping people with dynamic IPs out.???????

it would be great if anyone can help me

i figured ou something like this and i dont know how to install this to vbulletin...

<?php
$IP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if ($IP =="x.x.x.x")
setcookie(Ban, 'cookietest', time()+3600000000);
else if ($IP =="x.x.x.x")
setcookie(Ban, 'cookietest', time()+3600000000);
else if ($IP =="x.x.x.x")
setcookie(Ban, 'cookietest', time()+3600000000);
else if ($IP =="x.x.x.x")
setcookie(Ban, 'cookietest', time()+3600000000);
else if ($IP =="x.x.x.x")
setcookie(Ban, 'cookietest', time()+3600000000);
else if ($IP =="x.x.x.x")
setcookie(Ban, 'cookietest', time()+3600000000);
else if ($IP =="x.x.x.x")
setcookie(Ban, 'cookietest', time()+3600000000);
else echo "";
?>
<?php
if ($_COOKIE['Ban'])
die ('Sorry, you are banned from using this forum!');
else echo "";
?>

this would be a great hack if you guys help me to finish this and i know it will be use full to other vb users

Why would you do it that way?
A better solution would giving the user a cookie then check if the user has the cookie

PHP Code:

<?php
setcookie(Ban, 'cookietest', time()+3600000000);
?>

Then you'd just check if user has the cookie

PHP Code:

<?php
if (isset($_COOKIE['Ban']))
{
   die("You are banned from using this forum");
}
?>

where do i add this codes how do i creae a coockie i dont have any idea can you help me out with that???

[aveon]

anybody to help me any body good on cookies ?????

This is actually a good idea, but as the original poster said, the ideal thing would be to send two cookies. One with the forum name etc and the seccond with a name that we would choose.

That way if user tries to delete cookie, more than likelly he is not going to delete all becaue it is a pain in the rear, he would then look for the cookie and delete the one with the domain name and call it the day.

Not knowing that there is a seccond cookie.

Better yet, is there a way to set a cookie that would record the mac adress of the user?

I be willing to pay $$ for a good security hack like this.

Mac addresses are useless.

i found this on web and this hack is for invidionize boards but can we use it for vbulletin too??

2. Open up functions.php

3. Find:

----------------------------------------------------------

if ($ibforums->vars['ban_ip'])

{

$ips = explode( "|", $ibforums->vars['ban_ip'] );



foreach ($ips as $ip)

----------------------------------------------------------

4. Before add:

----------------------------------------------------------

// Check to see if the banned cookie is set

if ($std->my_getcookie('banned')) {

$std->Error( array( 'LEVEL' => 1, 'MSG' => 'you_are_banned', 'INIT' => 1 ) );

}

----------------------------------------------------------

5. Find:

----------------------------------------------------------

$ip = preg_replace( "/\*/", '.*' , preg_quote($ip, "/") );



if ( preg_match( "/^$ip/", $ibforums->input['IP_ADDRESS'] ) )

{

----------------------------------------------------------

6. Below add:

----------------------------------------------------------

if(!$std->my_getcookie('banned')) {

$std->my_setcookie('banned', 'yes');

}

----------------------------------------------------------

with all this information cant we figure out anything at all???
