Title: Nick check (against leecheers??)
Post by: Shurlock on 14 January, 2005, 01:52:33
Hi all,

I would like to eliminate the possibility for people to enter the hub with nicknames that contain characters that are repeated MORE than twice within their nick.

They tend to 'change' 3 to 4 characters, 4 to 5, etc. etc.
Sample: nickname__  will be changed into nickname____ (One more underscore!)
Or... nicccknamme  will be changed into niccknammme

Above that, I would like to filter the name to pure ASCII characters ONLY! No ?  or ?  or other non-alpha/numeric characters, except for '-' and underscores.

I realize this will probably slow down the hub, but.... changing nick will eliminate the downloads of other HONEST users.

I hope someone comes up with a bright idea to check this without causing too much 'lag' on the hub as the  HONEST users (and I !!!) experience this as very annoying!

Thanks in advance!

((Should PtoKax have this option built in, please explain to me. Thanks!))

hi m8  

by  blocking  ascii   youll  find  you'll block  half of the dc users...

like  me  for instance   lol

i never did like that option on that ...   Ehem..... Other y-Hub soft


Most ppl have the  ' auto find alternative download locations  '  enabled in their clients anyway.
so there downloads will continue.




??????Hawk??????    <---- dont KILL the ascii... :P  :P

Thanks for the warning Hawk, but....
I would prefer securing the hub against fakers.

Thing is, that these 'non-ASCII' characters are not checked by DOS-oriented programs that do very good jobs.

I'd rather have users in my hub that are serious, than users that have 'imagination'. (Sorry, nothing peronal!!)

So, if anyone can help me out on this subject,, I would be very happy!

Thanks.

Yeah, I agree, I dislike ASCII. Any way to block non-alphanumeric characters in PtokaX? Keeping [{()}]_- of course, possibly @ to.

heya peeps  ..

its  not  perfect  but seems to  do the job..

Code Select

--//  15/01/2005


bot = "Hawk-Blocker"  -- Bots name

end



function NewUserConnected(curUser)
local CharsLeft = curUser.sName
local CharToCheck = "a"
while CharToCheck do
_,_,CharToCheck,CharsLeft = strfind(CharsLeft,"(%S)(.*)")
if  CharsLeft == nil then break
else
if not strfind(OKchars,CharToCheck) then
curUser:SendData(bot,"\r\n\r\nYou have Illegal Chars in your nick Please Use Standard Charicters:-\r\n\r\nok Chars are:-\r\n\r\n"..OKchars.."\r\n\r\n")
curUser:Disconnect()
end
end
end
end


function OpConnected(curUser)

Change it,, edit it  and make it work for  you  :-)

Have fun peeps  and dont ask me in ur hubs  lololol

Great, thanks very much, two things:

can someone convert this to LUA5?

and is this fast? Wont take any considerable bandwidth/resources?

Hi, this is the third time i've tryed and got errors... I may not be the greatest at scripting ever, but I think I have the capacity to copy and paste correctly! Seriously you guys should try it, if there's nothing wrong with the code, then there's something wrong with the formatting that makes it impossible to copy and paste.

Leave it loaded for an hour or so/try testing by signing in with an invalid character. Mine doesn't generate errors as soon as I load it, it generates them when it's been left in for a while.

Right, I've reformatted it into an uber condensed version:

Code Select
bot = "Hawk-Blocker"  -- Bots name
function Main()
OKchars ="aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNoOpPqQrRsStTuUvVwWxXyYzZ1234567890-_(){}[]@"
end
function NewUserConnected(curUser)
local CharsLeft = curUser.sName
local CharToCheck = "a"
while CharToCheck do
_,_,CharToCheck,CharsLeft = string.find(CharsLeft,"(%S)(.*)")
if  CharsLeft == nil then break
else
if not string.find(OKchars,CharToCheck) then
curUser:SendData(bot,"\r\n\r\nYou have Illegal Chars in your nick Please Use Standard Charicters:-\r\n\r\nok Chars are:-\r\n\r\n"..OKchars.."\r\n\r\n")
curUser:Disconnect()
end
end
end
end
function OpConnected(curUser)
NewUserConnected(curUser)

Which gives the error:

You're using magic characters in the search pattern.

malformed pattern (missing `]') - exactly what it says
unfinished capture - missing a ')'

You must either escape all the magic chars with a function like:
Code Select
function util.escapeMagicChars( sString )
local sRet = string.gsub(sString, "([%^%$%(%)%%%.%[%]%*%+%-%?])", "%%%1");
return sRet;
endor set plain in string.find to true:
Code Select
bot = "Lame-Blocker"  -- Bots name

validChars ="aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNoOpPqQrRsStTuUvVwWxXyYzZ1234567890-_(){}[]@";

function NewUserConnected(curUser)
local pos = string.find(curUser.sName,validChars,1,true);
if( pos ) then
local msg = string.format("Illegal character '%s' in nick. Valid characters are:\r\n%s",
string.sub(curUser.sName, pos, 1),
validChars);
curUser:SendData(bot,msg);
curUser:Disconnect();
end
end

OpConnected = NewUserConnected;

Well I thought it was blatantly obvious that the reason this error was not found was because it pointed to a line that did not exist.

Least these guys post without mocking other people's abilities and choice of scripts...

Further, some people don't like 'kewl', trendy looking characters, your opinion on this matter is not above all others, you arrogant swine.

Anyway thankyou for your help.  :P

I thought it was blatantly obvious that copying text from a post here results in doubled new lines.
Line 65 of Markitos' post (with the double new lines) is:
if not string.find(OKchars,CharToCheck) then
The same as line 12 of your "uber condensed" version ;-)

Besides, you can still infer the problem from the debug message.

Least these guys post without mocking other people's abilities and choice of scripts...
Kindly spoken misinformation is supposed to be better than blunt correctness?

Further, some people don't like 'kewl', trendy looking characters, your opinion on this matter is not above all others, you arrogant swine.
I wasn't aware I made a comment on 'kewl' ASCII. However, the script is lame that it will not do what the original author requested; block fakers.

Anyway thankyou for your help.
You are welcome.

1. Indeed, but I gather those who offered help at that particular stage only took a quick glance at the problem. One cannot expect anything more as obviously you can't expect people to give you hours of their personal time.

2. Good question actually, you might be right.

3. Okay, my apologies for making assumptions on what you were actually implying.
