Multihunter

Detect duplicate accounts, ban evasion, and suspicious registrations earlier – with multiple signals, clear indicators, and controlled exceptions.

Protect your community from duplicate accounts and ban evasion

MultiHunter helps you detect multiple accounts in your WoltLab Suite earlier, before they create moderation work, manipulation, or loss of trust.

The plugin checks registrations and logins for suspicious overlaps and gives you concrete indicators instead of forcing your team to rely on gut feeling or manual research.

• Detect duplicate accounts during registration and login
• Evaluate ban evasion faster
• Combine several technical signals
• Include trashmail domains
• Protect legitimate exceptions with a whitelist
• Optionally ban automatically when the case is clear

Why this matters

Duplicate accounts are rarely just a cosmetic issue. They can distort discussions, manipulate votes, abuse marketplaces, bypass bans, or keep conflicts alive inside your community.

The later you detect those patterns, the more expensive they become for your team: more investigation, more discussions, more uncertainty. MultiHunter reduces exactly that workload.

Several signals instead of one weak suspicion

MultiHunter does not rely on a single attribute. The plugin combines different indicators so you can assess connections more reliably.

• Registration IP address
• Login IP with time restriction
• Cookie-based fingerprint
• LocalStorage and IndexedDB
• Canvas, WebGL, and AudioContext fingerprinting
• Browser and system data
• Trashmail domains

Each check can be configured individually. This lets you adapt MultiHunter to your community instead of adapting your moderation process to a rigid tool.

Control instead of false alarms

Not every match means abuse. Families, teams, offices, clubs, or shared devices can create legitimate overlaps.

That is why MultiHunter includes tools to handle these cases properly:

• Whitelist for allowed multiple accounts
• Request form for duplicate account approval
• Profile boxes and ACP displays for moderators
• Notifications in the ACP or as forum posts
• Grouping and time windows for reports
• Optional automatic bans with deadline and custom message

Investigate faster

When a suspicion appears, your team needs answers quickly. MultiHunter lets you search stored fingerprints by IP, resolution, language, operating system, plugin strings, or browser.

Even when cookies are deleted or IP addresses change, additional browser signals can help reveal connections.
