You need to ban the ip AND user agent.. this file has been in the chat since the start:

<?php
$browser = explode (&#39;/&#39;, $HTTP_USER_AGENT);
if($REMOTE_ADDR=="ip" AND $browser[0]=="browser"){
header (&#39;Location: [url]http://urban-chaos.uni.cc/s60realm/chat/yourbanned.php&#39;[/url]);}
?>

You will probably need to update the browser string for php5 i just grabbed that from a very old copy of wappychat.

that is no better then ip banning it will ban anyone using same device and ip so u ban 1 person pro end up losing 100 possible membes there is no point ip banning there is apparently a sim id that is unique im looking into request that

[chris]

its a LOT better than banning ip alone, but yes still not perfect. And no there is no way of getting sim number or imei without network co-operation. A few foriegn networks give more details than most but not many.. the best way to see what info a phone gives is by using some code maybe a little like this:

<?php
$headers = apache_request_headers();

foreach ($headers as $header => $value) {
    echo "$header: $value 
\n";
}
?>

which will output something like this:

Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en-us
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0
Host: www.example.com
Connection: Keep-Alive

[looony]

there is always a way perhaps we could look for serial numbers

[chris]

There quite simply is NOT a way, it is a huge invasion of privacy and not a feature many networks support these days.

Trust me i have read a lot about it.

[looony]

could always request phone number on registration and send out a validation code that way u can ban the number like i said there is always away

[chris]

The method of sending sms verification works yeah but there is no way to get the number/sim no/imei via php...

And at the price of sim cards now days (think you can still get them free from 02) that method is also un-effective.

Another problem is actually making sure your sms script is actually sending to all countries and networks.

Example of it being used is: http://chatabox.co.uk (use mobile).

Also you can only ban the number from registering, not actually using the site.

[looony]

lol just an idea i personally have fun tring to keep ppl out of my site when there being a pain its fun lol
ps. who are you
pss. ill bbs

[chris]

Another way is shielding trusted users like in the lava script, so if they have a shield the ip/browser ban is ignored, but its a slow process of shielding each trusted user, maybe if it was set to auto-shield after a set time period of being a member, mmm.
