Stop deceiving people for traffic. This is a computer rendered graphics. It is not real

PatrickOkunima:
I own a website that has three portals: client, VA and admin portals.

The problem:

If a client's dashboard is opened on a browser, and he/she opens another tab on the browser and visits the VA Patrick's login page. If he enters the login details of another client, his own account dashboard will be displayed instead of that of the new details he used to login.

Illustration:

If Mr. A logs into his account, and while working on it, his friend, Mr. B sends his login details to Mr. A. If Mr. A opens a tab on the browser and tries to login, instead of Mr. B's account opening, Mr. A's account will open.

The problem is not peculiar to the client portal only. The VA and admin portals are affected too.

If you can solve this problem, kindly share your contact and I'll reach-out.

My budget for this N7,000. If you cannot do it for this amount, please do not indicate interest.

Thanks.

Poor logic and bad authentication system from your original developers.

1. If a user is logged in, the user should not even be able to see the login button or link in a new tab. This means that when a new tab is opened, the user should still be logged in.

The user should first log out before accessing the login link from same browser. Your authentication system is very poor and vulnerable

Lol. Someone will collect the cheap 5k and scam you without doing anything

bassdow:
To be very Honest, none of the above would work.

No method is 100% effective BUT the above wouldn't work at all, and if it works, it would do more harm to innocent users.

To me, I doubt there are Computer Bots here on Nairaland, probably Human bots.
Any workAble solution need not be known to we ordinary users.

Just like google are not open with how they do certain things else PROs would find a wrkAround.

Now solution to the so called NairaLand bots is very simple, and Mr Seun seemingly asking for ideas seems suspicious to me. Except He wants to say all the developers he's hired were unable to proffer a solution that would at least half the problem.

This is strictly your opinion and not a fact.

I am sure that I gave at least 3 possible solution to the problem. But you choose to talk about the one that have the potential to affect users.

Are you afraid of something?

Useless government with unlimited excuse. Why don't you give us the firm that conducted the research and came up with how long it will take for us to solve flooding problem?

Japan built a ground breaking structure to tackle flood in her capital with $2bn spanning just 13years. If we commit $10bn from the money we used to build useless trains, coupled with improvement in technology, I am sure we can minimize our flooding problem in less than 10 years.

Even akwa ibom government built a drainage system to tackle flood in less than 5 years

The love for obi is real not induced!

Hmmm. We are making progress. Don't forget to drop something even if it is an ads space if you adopt my idea. @seun seun

imohimoh12:
Lots of sick people here, when Obi gets 500 likes, then it is real people ?

You are in pains

@seun seun possible solution in this thread

Abfinest007:
Seun can tell who like a post and the time .so it easy to track if the account is a bot account .we know millions of people login in daily but these fake like are created with bot that can easily be trace bcuz the likes and share com in at same time

I have always doubted his sincerity in curbing the likes

blancsn1:
What makes him dead in the brain will be explain by the mod that needs to undertake what he explained. His explanation is not even simple, now imagine the mod that will have to monitor that n still deal with other situations.

A simple solution is registration on NL should be via phone number with phone verification. This will curb any fake from any side of the divide but I guess it will reduce the views NL need to boost it revenue so the owner is not ready

Just like temp mail phone numbers can also be generated for verification. Apart from that, seun will have to pay for each sms verification that is sent to a phone number. His competitors will finish him with this by registering thousands of phone numbers and an sms will be sent to each of them at the cost of 2 or 4 naira

blancsn1:
This OP is dead in the brain.
Imagine being a mod n having to handle this

Stop exposing your ignorance. Programmers will understand what I am saying. I am simply explaining programs that can be written to stop the bots. The mods have no business in the process.

ecolime:
It's gonna be hard.

Most of the fake accounts were opened in Mar h prior to the APC primaries. I have screenshots of some of them.

You will be surprised they have just 10 urchins spamming Nairaland at the social media unit.

From a developer perspective there is nothing hard in this. Time of opening the accounts don't have any effect on the solutions I proffered in the original post .

Seun should show the original post to his developers. They will better understand.

i saw a thread by seun
https://www.nairaland.com/7387081/fake-likes-tinubu-bots
requesting for ideas on how to tackle the menace of tinubu bots. The developer in me will doubt the sincerity of this request because it is not actually a programming nightmare to stop the so called 'bots'.

This is something a developer can easily stop by investigating the source of the problem and writing appropriate functions or 'algorithms' that can curb the menace.

I believe that those responsible for the fake likes are not really sophiscated enough to create programs that automate the process of generating fake likes. So i will assume that they are simply creating multiple accounts that maybe, a ten man team sitting in same room and using the accounts to like affliated posts.

Moving to the possible scenarios and solution.

1. So assuming that as a not too techy person i want to generate likes. I will
simply create multiple accounts with temp mail or normal gmail and use same password on all for easy
rememberance. Having 500 accounts with different password is a nightmare, so i will definitely use same password or at least same set of passwords.

2. i will simply launch my tor,chrome or microsoft edge browser. open 25 private tabs on each of the browsers. On each of the tabs i will simply log in with a fake account and start liking affliated posts.

If we are just 5 guys in a room operating 25 tabs each on two different browsers we will generate (25*2) * 5 = 250 likes for a single post. imagine we are 10,20 guys? that will be 500 and 1000likes respectively



SOLUTION

i believe that nairaland is already logging the ip addrress of each user during login. How do i know this? After some failed login attempts you are expected to wait for some minutes before trying to log in again. This same process could have been done with cookies or a session on the users browser, i cant really tell because i have not tried to investigate, so i am just assuming.

The solution lies in the changing the criteria for a user to like a post. Instead of checking if the user name or user id have liked a particular post in the likes table, you can check if thesame
ip address have liked the post. This means instead of just using user id or user name in the likes
table you can use the ip address as the primary identifier.

The problem with using the ip address as an identifier is that many people can be on same wifi router and access nairaland. so limiting same ip can cause problems for others that are genuine.

You can bypass this by checking the ip address count. If about 20 users are associated with thesame Ip address, then that is likely a red flag.


You can investigate more by simply including the user agent. The user agent gives you information about the browser making the requests. Writing a function that checks if two ip addresses have same
user agents will obviously expose that such an account is a BOT account. You can use more parameters like screen size, browser name etc to identify unique likes!

STOP FAKE ACCOUNTS FROM LOGGIN

Simply creating a table to track each successful login.

On each logging, store the password,Ip address, user agent and username.

On each login attempt check if the password,Ip address and user agent already exist on the logging table. If it exists and the username names don't match, this means the login is coming from same device and address, it is a bot or alternate account. You can simply stop the login process at this point.

If the above matches and the username are thesame, it is a genuine account that logged out and trying to log in again.

You can set up a cron job or task scheduler that will empty this table after 24hours.

The simple truth is that the solutions listed above can affect some genuine users. Let us say that I visited a friend and logs out his account to use mine. A problem will arise because the system will assume that I am an alternate account. We can control this by timed refreshing of login table etc.

The minor problems are a small price to pay so as to make your forum free from manipulations but to truely reflect the opinion of the majority.

Have not heard about it. But I know yandex. It is a search engine just like Google but have it's origin in Russia and popular in east Europe. Knew about them when their crawlers was crawling my website. I must confess that their crawlers are crap and not really sophisticated or intelligent like Google.

Fake news from unknown tinubu blog. Show us the report from w credible source

That crowd is for the senator not tinubu. The crowd is carrying the senators banners. The only tinubu picture in the crowd is the stationary billboard that have the group picture of all APC contestants. Nobody in that crowd gathered for tinubu

kristmalachy:

Nna anyi ukwu obira

Any website that loads and reloads is bad for user experience. Websites have evolved and any website built in the traditional way is so 1960. You are better off building headless cms with react.

Porthacourt road is a federal road. Hold buhari responsible

Only a fool will see the very wicked Chinese as a lesser evil to the west. Are you trying to tell me assuming the Nigerian stowaways that died in the hands of the crew found themselves in an American ship they would be murdered?

How does the average Chinese Treat Nigerian workers?

You head slammers have a fundamental problem

Mrkumareze:
How big is Orashi in that Ose motor axis ?

Very big. The width can accommodate at least 12 ships in a row. Crossing the river with speed boat takes at least 3 minutes

FreeStuffsNG:
It is not even true so do not bother. If you see how far it is from the atlantic ocean itself you will know it makes no economic and environmental sense. It is like dredging each or all of the 4 rivers (Ona River in the North and West; Ogbere River towards the East; Ogunpa River flowing through the city and Kudeti River in the Central part of the Ibadan metropolis) Ibadan or river Osun in Oshogbo to link Oyo and Osun to the atlantic through Ogun or Lagos or Ondo state or Niger/Chad having a dream to dredge Lake chad to the atlantic ocean.

There is gas all over Nigeria so just forget that FG will make such huge investments first on dredging just to collect and sell gas. If it were so, it would even have been done before Bonny and NLNG trains in Rivers state located in Bonny at the mouth of the atlantic ocean.

Your analysis is somewhat wrong on the distance. It is not that far. During the battle of oguta in the civil war, the Nigerian army came into oguta with their mini war ships through that river from porthacourt.

During the colonial era when companies like John holt existed, trade activities go on through that river to porthacourt and vice versa

This is where I come from. If this is true, then it is because the federal government want to use the river to export egbema and oguta oil and gas, not out of love.

Most of the crisis going on in imo state is directly or indirectly linked to the gas reserves in imo state. Federal government has noticed that the oil and gas export from imo state don't reach the bonny terminal again. They decided to be exporting it directly from the seaport.

So don't rejoice. That sea port will not export any goods only igbo gas and oil.

This thread is misleading with a criminal and mischievous op. This picture must have been taken when obi was governor and I am sure that something of important brought him to that market.

He could have been asking that woman about how sales is going or anything.

Peter obi is beyond cheap publicity as the wicked op is mischievously want to imply.

Who will stake 500k with me that tinubu will finish a distant 4th in this election?

First time nnpc is making profit and remitting something significant for a while.

Even the excess crude account rose significantly. This is the benefit of unbundling and privatizing the nnpc which buhari just did. Same thing atiku suggested that he was crucified for.

@ Programmer the large codeset stuff is not really an issue if you are using modern frameworks like react and Vue which heavily make use of reusable components.

Writing a traditional multiple page website with tailwind css is a maintenance nightmare

Tinubu will come a distant 4th in the coming election, behind kwankwaso

Great. However, this is not the biggest. The one currently commissioned in owerri is the biggest

Look at them. This is where dey disguise as obi supporters and release fake news only for another member to debunk it.
