i.p related question Anonymous 2016-12-20 07:12:15 Post No. 238937 [Report]

Hey /wsr/
I'm in bit of trouble as I run a small fan wiki page for an obscure tv show and every once in a while I run into people who commit vandalism on the pages. Sometimes finding out if they come to reoffend is easy due to them using the same i.p but I know some of them can use proxies and sometimes innocent users can get caught in the crossfire due to them using the same proxies.

What's the difference between static i.p and dynamic i.p in terms of if there's a hit from people having collisions from static i.ps versus dynamic ones? If two people are having a crossover from a dynamic i.p address does that prove beyond a shadow of doubt that they are the same person? I'm not very good with computers as you might expect.

No, an IP doesn't prove anything about anyone. It's possible two of your members have the same ISP.

Lets say user1 (U1) has IP x.x.x.x, and U2 has IP y.y.y.y. When U1 lease is up, their IP is sent back to the pool of available IPs for that ISP and U1 is sent z.z.z.z for a new IP.

U2s lease is up, and sends y.y.y.y to the pool and gets x.x.x.x sent back. U2 now looks like U1 to your server by just looking at the IPs.

What you will want to check for is things like UserAgent stuff about their browser which could help you narrow down who's who.

Yeah, and SFW?

ISPs are, by law, required to keep records of which customer had which IP when.

Unless you have thousands of users, you'll see little-to-no fallout if you ban an ISP's entire regional hub.

If you've got a hundred users tops, it's highly unlikely that you'll have two from Shitstain, Idaho.

Just reverse DNS the IP, and say you get "blah.xyz.wherever.whatever.someisp.com", just ban anything that matches "wherever.whatever.someisp.com".
