Tech question

[Rose]

I run small non adult board,and have problem with one idiot lately.He SPAM my board with idiotic messages.As soon as I ban his IP
he uses another Proxy server and continue
posting.He uses mainly Japanese Proxies.
Is there anyway to find out his real IP?
Thanks I am not too good with this IP shit.

[whoreans]

this guy is really a pain in the ass..

i wouldnt know how to stop him from fucking around neither..

but i would email the owner of the proxy holder and let them know whats going on.

Are you using the same board software as us?

[Rose]

No I am not Wizzo.
Yes I tried to e-mail proxies few times,
but no response.He uses only foreign ones.

[Rose]

I tried to track that guy for few hours today.
mail.massathens.gr (195.167.71.2)
This as far as I could track him.
Greek Proxy

[Theo]

yeap, this is a greek proxy. This proxy belongs to an advertising company. Their mails are [email protected],[email protected]
but i don't think they can do many things to stop the guy if he's Greek(I doubt) because the majority of internet surfers here use modems=dynamic IPs. The best thing you have to do is to ignore him for a while, he will get tired being an asshole and will stop.
What's the url of the board?

There can only be one Wizzo.

Can you ban the first 2 sets of his IP address? For example: 195.167.xxx.xxx

Even with a dynamic IP, the first 2 sets usually don't change from what I have been told.

If you can manage to resolve his main proxy IP, and your BBS is written in Perl, Just place this line at the beginning of whatever subroutine makes posts

print "Piss Off" if ($ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'} =~ /195\.167\.\d+\.\d+/);

substituting actual numbers for the hard numbers in the regex (195 and 167).

Something similar would also work for PHP.

Of course the "Piss Off" message can be changed to anything you like. lol

This avenue is much easier on server recources than .htaccess blocking or redirect.

Yes I can ban anything I want, and I did.
But he just moves on and use anotyher proxy.
There is 1 000's of them on the net.

time for PHP gurus

Rose, try this

if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"] != ""):
$IP = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
$host = @gethostbyaddr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]);
endif;

Hope that will do the job
