Track all Duplicate IP Addresses via Admin CP · **Released**: 01-29-2005

Duplicate IP tracking v1.2 by Jolten

Be gentle, this is my first release.

What's this do?
This hack is an admin control panel addition. It will render a complete list of all users with duplicate IP addresses in your forums. And adds very little in terms of queries and sever load. This is designed to help those site admins, who wish to, to track users which may have duplicate accounts.

Be aware that many internet service providers (AOL, JUNO, NetZero) may assign the same IP to many different users. A duplicate listing is not an immediate indication of a duplicate account by the same user.

Installation
Files to edit -- 1
Phases to add -- 2
Files to upload -- 1
Database alterations -- None
Total Queries -- 3

Time to install -- Less than 5 minutes

Support
I can't promise full support but I will do all I can to fix any bugs or answer all questions. All support must be done strictly through this thread. If you are using this hack, please click the INSTALL button to be informed of any future updates, add-ons and bug fixes.

Enjoy!

Screenshot Below
It should be noted (since the screenshot doesn't show it due to my censorship of the names) that the list of usernames links directly to the adminCP user options for that user, allowing easy access to the users information.

Cool hack. One step further would be to prevent duplicate IPs like how we use our forums. One hour lockout if breach attempted.

trying to install same...but the Step 3 area I don't understand...

"Add 2 new phrases.." where to what?

in fact, in the Admin CP, I "see" the space where the new Title should be,
that is, there is an extra space there...but it's empty as I don't know where
to add the Step 3 items?

:-(
