Searching Users Devices

[TDBF]

Is there anyway to search Users browsers and devices like the IP Tools?

No, but can you explain what you are after? Like, if you searched for "firefox" what good would that do for you?

If you view a member, you can click on the device and see all users who logged in with that device if you want.

I have a member who was banned, but still manages to register new accounts because his IP address is a dynamic IP v6 address. However, his uagent_key, uagent_browser and uagent_version are always the same. If I was able to search for these it would narrow the possible candidates and help me weed him out. The problem, doing this one member at a time is time consuming and tedious.

I would like the ability to find a member by device, rather than a device by member.

Wouldn't more than one person have "Chrome v76" or "Firefox v53" or whatever though?

Anyways, at present there's no way to view all accounts using a specific browser through the admin interface.

Devices are stored in cookies. If the user clean them, they will be able to register the account. I developed a resource that could ban resources but it wasn’t approved in marketplace due to that.

If you add all the information together, like the first 64 part of their IPv6 address, location, browser, OS and ISP, then I you get a pretty good indication that they're the same person.

I will probably write one then as it would make life a lot easier when looking for people who are just there to abuse the system.

I know 🙂

I am in the process of doing something the same, and most likely will not be allowed in the MP.

This person is causing a lot of negativity on the forum. He is a supporter of a rival football team and uses our platform to do nothing more than troll and stir things up with our members.
