The Auto Ban Add-On
aoMoB3


What does it do?

This add-on will automatically ban a user's IP address he/she fails a security check a certain amount of times (this amount is set in the settings). The idea behing this add-on is that any user who fails a security check so many times is probably trying to cheat. So, to save you the touble of having to look through the cheaters log and manually banning the user, this add-on bans the user for you. The number of times the user fials the security check is stored as a cookie on the user's computer, so the user can easily bypass the auto ban system by deleting the cookie or by disabling cookies altogether.


Why doesn't it go in the Add-On Box?

This add-on is special. It requires direct access to the security checker (in order to tell whether or not a user has failed it).


What's with the IP address thing?

The add-on needs to know to what degree it should ban the user. Using the example IP address of 192.168.0.3, the first option would ban all IP addresses starting with 192. The second option would ban all IP addresses starting with 192.168. The third option (recomended) will ban all IP addresses starting with 192.168.0, and the final option will ban just the IP address 192.168.0.3 (because a user's IP address probably changes slightly each time he/she logs on to the Internet, I would not suggest using this option).


Why is this add-on numbered 3?

This is the first add-on that I completed; however, I have two other ones that I've nearly completed. I haven't worked them in quite some time, though.
