Trace banned players via IP address

Recommended Posts

Just a quick question: Is it some how possible to check if a player is banned by his IP address?

 

Just like the GUID search on the main page.

 

thanks,

The reason to this was simply to find out a way to detect a returned cheater. Lets say if I could pull an IP search on a player wouldn't I be able to compare GUIDS that have been used on it?

 

Thanks anyway.

under the tool any player who has used the same ip should show on the list under guids as linked. however you must be careful as it could be a casual like, like player a used ip x.x.x.x. player b used z.z.z.z. ip. player a switch isp and now uses z.z.z.x ip. player b switched ip and now shows using x.x.x.x ip.

 

since both players used x.x.x.x ip those guid would show linked. however the time diference is different. pbbans tool is a little hard to understand but wonce you get the understanding down its easier

Like pipes said, if you search an IP (provided you have the account to do that here) in the MPi, it will show who has used that IP and if it is associated with a ban. Now the thing you have to keep in mind, is that IPs swap around quite a bit and can go to many different players. So the key is to look at any ban in question and then get the information on the ban...like the date, time, server and so on. Now take that information and look to see if the player in question actually was using the IP at the time of the ban. Just because a player has used an IP that has a ban associated with it, does not mean they have cheated, it is just a stroke of bad luck for him.
