Proxy Hack v1.0

Ooook,

Well, this hack is a little thing to give you vB admins and moderators some more information about the users using proxys on your board (mainly, thier IP address).

The following version is upto date and works with vb 2.2.8 and whatever else. This version was updated by Stadler to work with 2.2.8. I cannot provide support personally for ANY versions here. And I do not know what support Stadler can give you.

So, download the 2.2.8 update here

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

Everything below has to do with super old versions that don't matter.. because they are super old! You don't want them, so don't even read it!


STOP READING! hehe, anyway. I repeat:

VERSION 2.2.8 ABOVE ^
VERSION 2.2.5 BELOW

enjoy

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

Screenshots are in the posts to follow.

Let me know how you like it, or ways I could improve it. ^_^ :bunny:

Edit: Non intrusive version
This little edit simply adds the proxy info to the getip template. So when mods/admins click the "IP Logged" button/graphic if there is any proxy info, it will tell them instead of in postbit.

Get it here

Its my IP, and I dont really care

Umm, why would posting a picture of the IP make any difference?
There are tools out there that let you probe as many IP's as you want. Any real hackers/crackers will use tools like that. And if someone are really out to get you, it doesn't matter what kind of security-precautions you make

Indeed, anyone that really wants to do me some harm wouldnt rely on some stupid pic I posted I dont worry about it, I really dont care infact. lol

I sit on irc 24/7, host a fiew bots aswell as several other servers with this computer. People for some reason think that as soon as an IP is posted on the internet someone is going to hack that person out of nowhere. Silly ppl ;p :bunny:

Just an addendum: I noticed often I had better results with the HTTP_FORWARDED env var instead of HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR you used. I mean, first was filled, the second one no...

Ah, I actually wasnt aware of that, but its easyily correctable by replacing:

PHP Code:

    if (getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")!="") {
        $proxyip=getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR");
    } else {
        $proxyip="";
    } 


with

PHP Code:

    if (getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")!="") {
        $proxyip=getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR");
    } else {
        if (getenv("HTTP_FORWARDED")!="") {
            $proxyip=getenv("HTTP_FORWARDED");
        }
        $proxyip="";
    } 


I've updated the install file and tested it, works fine. Thanks ^^ :bunny:
(btw, is there an easyer way to do the second check? not quite sure, elseif didnt seem to fit the bill)

Hi. I've installed a few hacks but am not sure what this means or how to do it, in your instructions txt. Can you or anyone explain. Thank you.

### Run the Following SQL Query

ALTER TABLE post ADD proxyip VARCHAR(16) not null AFTER ipaddress;

Do you think its possible to make this tie in with the show IP button we already have?

So nothing is showen on postbit, but when I or a mod click the "IP: Logged" link, where it normaly shows the IP address of the personl, it says the message you already have...

You have to login to your shell and run it via the mysql program, or install one of the hacks around here that let you execute queries via your admin CP

Yea, sure. I can do it shortly ^^

Thanks.

This was the asked for integration with the current one. Its more or less the same, you dont have to edit postings.php. For this one it wont display Proxy Detected in the postbit, instead it just displays the proxy info, if any when you click the get IP link.

have fun
