IP Searching

[jake13jake]

There should be a way to do a search on IP addresses in RC.

Ex.
/findip #.#.#.#
would give a list of accounts with that IP address as the last IP.

/findip #.#.#.*
would give a list of accounts with that IP range matching the last IP.

and so on.

This would probably be useful in recognizing possible account theft and possible impersonation, as well as a quick way to tell if a single IP is spamming your server with several trial accounts online at once.

could easilly cain and abel an IP

I like such a command, it's easy to find out what person with what IP has been on your account (if you are hacked or w/e it may be)

It already exists in ADCP for high admins. It would be too database intensive to put in RC for everyone to use, I think.

Lol, if Stefan's a realy good programmer he can make such things easy.. it could be an option for a person with the right: Change Staff Accounts, since they can search quite a lot in account database already. It's easy to add an IP: option I purpose?

Like I said, it would likely be too database intensive to allow anyone to do it. There are probably very little ways to get around that.

Mhh, so then lets go for it, for people with that one right only! hehe It's the rarest right that is given out on servers, so very little ammount of the servers their staff has that right.

we could do our own if stefan made ''player.ip'' a function.

uhhh.. actually, it would probably not be too intensive if there was a hash (especially with collisions being what you're looking for in a sense). Worst scenario is that stefan would have to upgrade the amount of memory he has on the server.

I thought all Linux RemoteControl users could do it?

Other than that, the AdminPanel does allow the "/global find" right be given to accounts that are right based. I guess if someone decided, it could be added to Managers of worlds. Vulcan doesn't have an admin level, though he can do it, so.

If I were Stefan, I would not want people freely scanning my database of thousands of accounts to check IPs.

Not that I know of.

The global rights work differently. Anyway, managers (of classic/hosted worlds) only perhaps but I wouldn't let others.

I agree, this would help i suppose.

The only way to make this less intensive is to have very high quality database servers, and I can't see that being feasible so people can check IPs

Yep

Also, being able to disable players with the same IP from hurting each other would be a positive improvement, though not foolproof, to laming kills and spar rating.
