Proxy Detection!!! - code in here

[Coyote]

I found this tutorial and thought that it would be good to utillise on a forum as a tool against people trying to hide there IP's

Code Select Expand

<?
if ($HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR) {
 print "<b>Proxy Detected...</b><br>";
 print "Your Real IP Address: <i>". $HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR ."</i><br>";
 print "Proxy Server: <i>". $HTTP_VIA ."</i> @ ". $REMOTE_ADDR ."<br>";
} else {
 print "<b>No Proxy Detected =(</b><br>";
 print "Your Real IP Address: <i>". $REMOTE_ADDR ."</i><br>";
}
?>  


its not my code it was written by Sean O`Donnell on 12/09/2001

but its so small, it would make a good addon for the admin centre! I realise that it may not help against advanced attacks but its well worth having.

could be done with gold has such logging in.. Also you need to log http_client_ip too...

Can someone integrate this mod in YabbSe 1.5.1?

An even more complicated code has already been implemented in YaBB SE 1.5.1 and 1.5.2

(checkout Querystring.php)

Hi Compuart

I have testet Se1.5.1

At work behind a Firewall, YaBBSe 1.5.1 tells me me IP is "unknown"

On my modded Yabb 1.4.1 it shows me my real IP...

Now i search something to get this in 1.5.1 to work...

On my 1.4.1 i have this Mod installed: http://www.yabbse.org/community/index.php?board=158;action=display;threadid=9408

[Compuart]

well, the current code should be more advanced than the mod you're pointing at. Are you sure you're talking about 1.5.1 final and not 1.5.1 RC1?

[Surfy]

Yes, 1.5.1 Final...

Of course, you get into some trouble when the person's proxy decides to report the user's IP address in the X-Forwarded-For header line in reverse order as some of the transparent proxies that my ISP uses seem to do (ie. if my IP was 1.2.3.4, it would send it as 4.3.2.1)

[Surfy]

I hope someone here could make a Mod like this for 1.4.1
