Show name, IP, Country in Block

xtremest · New Member Joined: May 10, 2008 Posts: 11

I looked through all of the forums here pertaining to Sentinel and even did a search on what I am looking for but came up empty handed. I was wondering in the Scrolling Block or Sentinel_Center block if there was a way to show the individuals name, ip, and country? This would be an awesome feature as you probably already have this feature, I just cant seem to find it...

Any help would be appreciated...Oh yeah, another question is:

What if the abuser/hacker attempts to mask their IP, will the Sentinel detect their true IP or just block the one they are routing off of? ? ?

Thanks Wink

PS: RavenNuke Rocks and puts all others to shame..even Joomla... Cool

I don't believe there is a block like this, so you would need to create a new one, or mod an existing one. There was a discussion here about how to use the Geoip data, which will help you determine the country:

Unfortunately Sentinel will not display/block the true ip and I don't believe there is any way to do it this.

If you keep up on the IP2C (IP to Country) data, then each blocked IP will have a country associated with it. So, it should be possible. However, do keep in mind that most attacks come from anonymous, so not sure how useful the "name" will be.

Alright, Great...

Thanks for the insight on creating a block or use a pre-existing block to accomplish this task. I understand that most attacks come from anonymous people, and that would be fine to just display anonymous for their name. I also do keep up with every blocked IP, which they all have a country flag attached to their IP.

Now, I just have to figure out a way to directly link the feed from the sentinel db and output it into the block. Anyone have any ideas??? Idea

Or would the following [code] provided by jakec's link be suffice?

RAVEN (2007) states,

$Geoip = ip2long($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$sqlGeo = 'SELECT distinct(c2c) FROM nuke_nsnst_ip2country WHERE "'.$Geoip.'" BETWEEN ip_lo AND ip_hi';
$resultGeo = $db->sql_query($sqlGeo);
if ($db->sql_numrows($resultGeo) > 0) {
$rowGeo = $db->sql_fetchrow($resultGeo);

if (empty($rowGeo['c2c'])) {
$rowGeo['c2c'] = '00';
}
}

echo '<img src="images/nukesentinel/countries/'.$rowGeo['c2c'].'.png" />';

What file would I MOD or How To Create??? Thanks

xtremest, I would actually take an existing block-Sentinel.php or the scrolling equivalent and modify it to do add what you want. The blocked IPs table already has the fields on it that you want:

username
ip_addr
c2c

You can use the c2c field to go against the _nsnst_countries to get the country name.

I appreciate the tips on how too, but I am not a php script writing expert; therefore, I have no idea what you just said. I did look through the Sentinel Scrolling Script and found one line in particular that stood out....

$result = $db->sql_query('SELECT `ip_addr`, `reason` FROM `'.$

But how would I go about placing the:

username
ip_addr
c2c

into this particular script? any advice is appreciated and I do apologize for not having the knowledge in this area....

Thanks Question

Tried, but failed.

This is not a big deal and everyone here has more bigger problems than a MOD for Sentinel.

Therefore, I do appreciate all the help from everyone who posted a reply to my question.

Thanks .... :")

xtremest, sorry... just been swamped. I have this thread saved though and once a free up a bit, I'll check back with you and see if you still need it.

'G', what he wants to do, he's got all the data already in NS. I just don't have the time right now to cook up the few lines of code it takes to do this... Sad

xtremest,

Ok, I had a few minutes and took the time. Maybe the following is close enough to give you the ideas to play with more:

=== CREATE NEW FILE ===

blocks/block-Sentinel_Scrolling2.php

=== WITH CODE ===

Code:

<?php

/********************************************************/
/* NukeSentinel(tm) */
/* By: NukeScripts Network (webmaster@nukescripts.net) */
/* http://www.nukescripts.net */
/* Copyright © 2000-2008 by NukeScripts Network */
/* See CREDITS.txt for ALL contributors */
/********************************************************/

/* NOTE: To Make this block 100% W3C Compliant, simply
comment out line's 25 and 42 to Disable The "Marquee
Function. Ths block will appear smaller, but will
grow until it reaches 20 blocked IP's and will stop
at , size refreshing the list with only the latest 20
blocked IP addresses. To change that number, change
the number after "DESC LIMIT" on line 36 to what you want! */

if(!defined('NUKE_FILE') && !defined('BLOCK_FILE')) { die('You can\'t access this file directly...'); }
global $prefix, $db, $user, $admin, $ab_config;
$usemarquee = 1;
$scrolldirection = 'Down';
$content = '';
$content .= '<table summary="" border="1"><tr><td align="center" valign="top"> This is the list of NukeSentinel(tm) banned IP addresses. </td></tr></table><hr />'."\n";
$content .= '<marquee behavior="Scroll" direction="'.$scrolldirection.'" height="150" scrollamount="1" scrolldelay="75" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()"><br />'; // Comment This Line Out for W3C Compliance Step #1
$result = $db->sql_query($sql = 'SELECT `ip_addr`, `reason`, `username`, `country` FROM `'.$prefix.'_nsnst_blocked_ips` LEFT JOIN `'.$prefix.'_nsnst_countries` USING (c2c) ORDER BY `date` DESC LIMIT 20');
while (list($ip_addr, $ip_reason, $ns_username, $country) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
if((is_admin($admin) AND $ab_config['display_link']==1) OR ((is_user($user) OR is_admin($admin)) AND $ab_config['display_link']==2) OR $ab_config['display_link']==3) {
$lookupip = str_replace('*', '0', $ip_addr);
$content .= '<strong><big>·</big></strong> '.$ns_username.' - <a href="'.$ab_config['lookup_link'].$lookupip.'" target="_blank">'.$ip_addr.'</a>'.' - '.$country."\n";
} else {
$content .= '<strong><big>·</big></strong> '.$ns_username.' - '.$ip_addr.' - '.$country."\n";
}
if((is_admin($admin) AND $ab_config['display_reason']==1) OR ((is_user($user) OR is_admin($admin)) AND $ab_config['display_reason']==2) OR $ab_config['display_reason']==3) {
$result2 = $db->sql_query('SELECT `reason` FROM `'.$prefix.'_nsnst_blockers` WHERE `blocker`=\''.$ip_reason.'\' LIMIT 0,1');
list($reason) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result2);
$reason = str_replace('Abuse-','',$reason);
$content .= ' - '."$reason\n";
}
$content .= '<br />'."\n";
}
$content .= '</marquee>'; // Comment This Line Out for W3C Compliance Step #2
$content .= '<br />';
$content .= '<hr /><center><a href="http://www.nukescripts.net" title="NukeSentinel(tm) Available at Nuke Scripts Network" target="_blank">'._AB_NUKESENTINEL.' '.$ab_config['version_number'].'</a></center>'."\n";

?>

=== DONE ===

Now just use this new block and see if it is close to what you want.

Glad to have another happy customer.

Please do realize that although "free" it costs Raven quite a bit of money to host a very busy site like this. So, if you can spare a few $, donations here are always welcome.

Certainly!

I understand and will see what I can do...thanks guys

Thank you for the kudos! Also, be sure to visit and support the websites of those who help you. There is such an abundance of knowledge/talent in those who selfishly work these boards and watch-dog this site! Montego, Guardian, KGuske, Evaders, FKelly, Gremmie, JakeC, Susann, just to name a few Wink

Certainly! I have visited several sites already and they all appear to be doing really well. I love trying to write .php, but I am not the best at it and I would appreciate if someone here with (time) could take me under their wing so I can help contribute and benefit this forum or just to help with future projects...

Let me know? Thanks - Wink
