Multiple account login detector (AE Detector)
Developer Last Online: Sep 2012 
Mod of the Month winner! Top 10 most installed mods for vB3.6! Same plug-in found here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=125871 There are no differences as this plug-in works with the 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7 releases of vBulletin. If you are like me and migrated from .threads, a common modification was an "AE detector", a simple mod that saved a cookie of a history of ids logged into on your site. If someone logged into more than one account, you got a PM letting you know that your site was being accessed from multiple accounts. Over the years this was very helpful in identifying users who were posting under multiple accounts (alter-egos!) and users who would return after being banned. You might be wondering why I don't use the vbcookie call - well, thats because on logout all vB cookies are cleared, so we need to store a cookie that is not effected by the login/logout process. New Installation 1. Add New Product with attached XML 2. Go to vBulletin Options -> AE Multiple Login Detection Settings and set your specific settings. Time to install: Easy - 2 minutes. Upgrade If you installed this as a Plug-in manually, you can delete that plugin and install this Product, just make sure to go into the Options and set them accordingly. I hope you find this useful and will click INSTALL if you use it; should it prove useful to enough people I can look at making this installation more automated without the need for edits and an Admin Options page. To upgrade you will want to reimport this XML file and edit your options accordingly. 1.0.3 ----- . Added a check to ensure that users weren't deleted when reporting violations . added htmlspecialchars_uni call to username Note: I am unable to get the call to construct_phrase with $vbphrase['multiplelogin_alert'] to work reliably, as such the $message variable is still set manually inside the plug-in and not via the phrase. If anyone has an idea of why this might not always work, I'm all ears. 1.0.2 ----- . Updated to include exclusion groups, users . Changed so PM is sent by ae sender id 1.0.1 ----- . Released as a Product (thank you PHPGeek2k3 for your help) . Added option to post to a forum versus send a PM (or both) . All settings moved into Admin Option 1.0.0 ----- Initial release.

Testing this mod could be tricky. You need to have all options set in right way, especially not testing with protected account or usergroup.
But, all in all, there's no reason why this mod shouldn't work with vB4.2 AFAIK. No members have liked this post.

Yes, I've had a very hard time testing this in the past. And even when it works, 99.9% of the reports you get are completely innocent (e.g. families, the local library, etc.).
But just a couple weeks ago it caught an old timer that logged in as a new user and went straight to our Introductions forum and introduced himself as new. Friendly members welcomed him with open arms, as staff had to sit back and wonder what the heck to do. We don't actually forbid having multiple accounts, only using them to buttress your own arguments. And revealing to him what we knew would nullify future detections from him, as he would figure out a way around it. No members have liked this post.

It's not hard to defeat. It's just one to detect the obvious for ya.

MPDev.. I used this mod for ages on my forum suddenly it didn't work anymore (damn sure my own fault xD). So I decided to create my own version for it. I've used bits of your code, it's kinda hard not to do so as you're using the functionality provided by vBulletin, but I've also made some changes, which includes everything being phrased and optional encryption for the cookie string (your method can be abused).
So I was wondering if I could post my vB4 compatible version?  Proper credits will of course be given and a link to this thread will also be included.
